5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure you heart rate using either the
h
andgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 21 for information about the
o
ptional chest pulse sensor).
If there are sheets
of clear plastic on
the metal con-
tacts on the
handgrip pulse
sensor, remove
the plastic. To
measure your
heart rate, hold the
handgrip pulse
sensor with your
palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid
moving your hands or gripping the contacts
tightly.
When your pulse is detected, one, two, or three
dashes will appear in the display, and then your
heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15
seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart
rate for up to 30 seconds.
If the display does not show your heart rate, make
sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
t
o squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal
performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft
c
loth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-
cals to clean the contacts.
