1. The pedal will slowly go down when you step on it. Before the

pedal goes all the way down to the bottom, start pushing  the
other pedal rhythmically.

2. Hold the handrail until you get used to the stepping motion.
3. The data display will not be accurate if you lean too much on

the handrail. Either release the handrail or lightly hold it only
occasionally when you get used to the exercise.

4. The faster the climbing speed is, afaster stepping action is re-

quired.

Remark  You may sometimes fail to catch up to the step-
ping speed, while you are a beginner. Also the stepping
speed can be decreased by the – button, except in Auto-
matic training, use this button to adjust the stepping speed
to the level that can keep you stepping without dropping
either pedal to the bottom.

• Insert the pulse sensor plug into the sensor jack on the back

Your pulse rate is detected from your earlobe by the
pulse sensor provided. Since the pulse sensor is a
delicate electronic part, handle it with sufficient
attention.

When the pulse sensor is correctly attached, the heart symbols
appears blinking on the graph screen as soon as the program
starts, and the pulse rate figure is displayed on the numeric
screen. Note the following:
• Clip the pulse sensor at the center of your right or left earlobe

as illustrated.

• When it is cold, massage your earlobe before use to improve

blood circulation.

• Attach the cable clip to your clothes to prevent excessive

swinging of the sensor cable.

• Ear rings or other ornaments must be removed when attach-

ing the sensor.

• If the pulse rate reading frequently turns to 0, the pulse sen-

sor may be not correctly attached to your earlobe. Remove it
once and reattach it.

• Try not to change the position of the pulse sensor during the

exercise.

• When removing the pulse sensor after exercise, be sure to re-

move also the cable clip.

Caution  The sensor cable can be damaged when pulled or
jerked. Treat it with care, for indefinite use.

• If the pulse rate display is still irregular even after trying sev-

eral different attaching positions, the sensor is considered to
be damaged. In such a case, replace the pulse sensor with a
new one (available as spare parts).
