become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values

calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only.

Results Indicator

The RESULTS indicator comes on when the Console shows the workout data results.

Battery Indicator

The Battery Indicator comes on when the battery power is low.

Contact Heart Rate Sensors

Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel

parts of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the

top and the bottom of the sensors. Hold ﬁrm, but not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors

for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.

Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now

validate the heart rate. Many factors inﬂuence the ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal:

• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere

with pulse detection. Slight hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.

• Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.

• SomeElectrocardiogram(EKG)signalsgeneratedbyindividualsarenotstrongenoughtobedetectedbythesensors.

CHRdetectionmaybelimitedtowalkingorslowjoggingduetotheextrememuscleartifactsandhandmotiongenerated

by a comfortable running style. If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the

sensors and try again.

Heart Rate Calculations

Yourmaximumheartrateusuallydecreasesfrom220BeatsPerMinute(BPM)inchildhoodtoapproximately160BPMby

age60.Thisfallinheartrateisusuallylinear,decreasingbyapproximatelyoneBPMforeachyear.Thereisnoindication

thattraininginuencesthedecreaseinmaximumheartrate.Individualsofthesameagecouldhavedifferentmaximum

heart rates. It is more accurate to ﬁnd this value by getting a stress test than by using an age related formula.

Yourat-restheartrateisinuencedbyendurancetraining.Thetypicaladulthasanatrestheartrateofapproximately72

BPM, whereas highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.

The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and better your cardiovascular

system. Physical conditions vary, therefore, your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is

shown.
