Troubleshooting
If the computer is not picking up your hand pulse signal (or you are getting
inaccurate readings), please adjust the following:
1. Slightly moisten/dampen the palms with water so the sensors can detect a
pulse signal.
2. Do not grip the sensors too tightly. Only moderate pressure need be applied.
Gripping the sensors too tightly restricts and seizes detection of your pulse.
3. Remove any rings or jewelry to prevent interference.
4. Check to ensure all pulse sensor wires are properly connected and are
not damaged.
You may need to refer to installation/assembly directions for the pulse sensor
wires in this manual.
If the computer is not displaying the CALORIES/DISTANCE/TIME/(ETC.) functions
(or you are getting inaccurate readings), please adjust the following:
1. Check to ensure all computer sensor wires are properly connected and are
not damaged.
You may need to refer to installation/assembly directions for the sensor wires
in this manual.
If the computer display is blank & not displaying any data (or does not appear to
power on), please adjust the following:
1. Check to ensure all sensor wires are all properly connected and are
not damaged.
2. Check to ensure the AC Adapter* or Batteries* are properly plugged in or
fully charged.
