To get yourself oriented with the process, begin with the Shifter set to 4. If this setting does not allow enough Pedal

travel at a casual stepping pace, adjust the Shifter toward the 1 setting until you are comfortable with the amount

oftravel.IfyoundthatthePedalsmovetoomuchandyouarenotabletoincreasethesteppingpace,adjust

the Shifter setting toward the 8 setting, allowing less Pedal movement. The Pedals should be set so they displace

enough to absorb the impact of your motion at your desired stepping pace.

Note: “Bottomed out” is when the User is unable to start a workout because the Pedals will not move. If this

occurs, safely grasp the Static Handlebars and apply your weight to the heel of the higher foot. While still

grasping the Static Handlebar, lean back slightly applying more weight onto the heel. Once the Pedals

begin to move, resume your intended workout.

It may be helpful to note the Shifter setting for future reference when there are multiple users of the machine.

Remote Heart Rate Monitor

Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR

compatible model. (Coded

heart rate straps such as POLAR

chest straps will not work with this equipment.)

If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or other

telemetric heart rate monitor.

Chest Strap

Using the heart rate transmitter chest strap lets you monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout.

Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising 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. Use the values calculated or measured by the

machine’s computer for reference purposes only.

To put on your chest strap:

1. Adjustthestraplengthtotsnuglyandcomfortablyagainstyourskin.Securethestraparoundyourchest,justbelowthechestmuscles,and

buckle it.

2. Lift the transmitter off your chest and moisten the two Grooved Electrode Areas on the back.

3. Checkthatthewetelectrodeareasarermlyagainstyourskin.

The transmitter will send your heart rate to the machine’s receiver and display your estimated Beats Per Minute (BPM).

Always remove the transmitter before you clean the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and water, and thoroughly dry it.

Residual sweat and moisture may keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter. Dry and wipe clean the transmitter after each

use.

Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol when you clean the chest strap, as they can damage the electrodes

permanently.

IftheConsoledoesnotdisplayaheartratevalue,thetransmittermaybeatfault.Checkthatthetexturedcontactareasonthecheststrapare

making contact with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the contact areas. If no signal appears or you need further assistance, call your Nautilus

Representative.
