Calories
The CALORIESdisplay field shows the estimated calories that you have burned during the exercise. If no calorie goal is set up
for the current workout program,the display value starts at zero and counts forward until the end of the workout. If the workout
has a calorie goal,the display starts at the preset value and counts down to zero.
Pulse
The Pulsedisplay field shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM)from the heart rate monitor (HRM).
_, onsult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stopexercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest,
become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Usethe values calculated or
measured bythe machine's computer for reference purposes only.
Distance
The DISTANCEdisplay field shows the distance count (miles or km) in the workout. If no distance goal is set up for the current
workout program,the display value starts at zero and counts forward until the end of the workout. If the workout has a distance
goal, the display starts at the preset value and counts down to zero.
Speed/RPM KM
The SPEED/RPMKM display field shows the machine speed in kilometers per hour (kin/h) or miles per hour (mph)for 6 seconds,
then the revolutions per minute (RPM)for 6 seconds.
Remote Heart Rate Monitor
Monitoring your Heart Rateis one of the best procedures to control
the intensity of your exercise.
Contact Heart Rate (CHR)sensors are installed to send your heart
rate signals to the Console.The Consolecan also read telemetry
HRsignals from a Heart RateChestStrapTransmitter. The Console
shows your Heart Rate in Beats Per Minute (BPM).
_, If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic
device, consult your doctor before using awireless chest
strap or othertelemetric heart rate monitor.
Contact Heart Rate Sensors
Contact Heart Rate(CHR)sensors sendyour heart rate signals to the Console.TheCHRsensors arethe stainless steel parts of the
Handlebars.Touse, putyour hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your handstouch both the top andthe bottom of
the sensors. Holdfirm, but nottoo tight or loose. Both handsmust make contact with the sensorsfor the Consoleto detect a pulse.
After the Consoledetects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.
Oncethe Consolehas your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10to 15seconds. The Consolewill now validate the
heart rate. Many factors influence the ability of the sensorsto detect your heart rate signal:
• Movement ofthe upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with
pulse detection. Slight hand movementwhile in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
• Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
• SomeElectrocardiogram (EK6) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected bythe sensors.
CHRdetection 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 seemserratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors
and try again.
