HEART RATE MODE
The treadmill may be used at any time in the Heart Rate Mode. The Heart Rate program is
designed to keep your heart at a desired amount of “beats per minute” by automatically
adjusting the incline. For example, you have programmed in a desired heart rate of 125
BPM and your heart rate is only at 110 BPM. If you are wearing the Chest Strap Transmitter
correctly, the incline will automatically increase to intensify the work load, causing your
heart rate to slowly climb to 125 BPM. It is suggested that the Chest Strap Transmitter
be positioned as close to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the
pectoral muscles. The PULSE light on the console will blink when the Chest Strap signal is
reaching the console. The treadmill will attempt to maintain your target heart rate through
adjustments to the incline for the remainder of your workout. In the same respect, if
your heart rate is above your programmed amount of BPM’s, the incline will automatically
decrease to lower your heart rate. See Figure 3, Figure 4, and section entitled "Monitoring
Your Heart Rate” for additional information on TARGET HEART RATES.
1. Plug treadmill into a surge protector outlet. Attach the red Safety Key on to the treadmill
console.
2. Stand on the treadmill and straddle belt. Attach safety key clip to your clothes.
3. Press POWER button. Place the Heart Rate Transmitter strap across your chest and connect
ends. (Make sure your skin is moist and the strap is snug for accurate transmission). At this
time, if the display is receiving a signal from the chest strap, the incline window will begin to
settle on your current heart rate.
4. Press the PROGRAM UP button until "Hr" is displayed in center brickyard window Press
ENTER PROGRAM. The incline window will display ‘125’, which is the default program target
heart rate.
5. The TIME/PACE window will blink. Use the Program up and down arrows to select your
workout time. Press ENTER PROGRAM.
6. The SPEED window will then blink. Use the Program up and down arrows to select the speed
for your workout. Press ENTER PROGRAM.
7. The incline window (if receiving your heart rate accurately) will show current BPM. (If the
receiver is not receiving an accurate reading, the incline window will be flashing 125).
9. Press START/STOP button. Belt will begin to move after 4 seconds. Step on belt slowly after
the belt starts moving.
8. To adjust the pre-set target heart rate press the UP or DOWN button and press ENTER
PROGRAM.
DO NOT STOP TO START OVER. Continue exercising and your heart rate will naturally increase.
The program will continually monitor your heart rate and periodically adjust the incline up or
down to increase or decrease the resistance thereby keeping you at your target zone. At the
conclusion of the programmed time, the TIME window will flash 00:00 and the CALORIES/
DISTANCE window will continue to accumulate values. The treadmill will continue operation
until the START/STOP button or the PAUSE button is pressed. Press the POWER button to
turn off the treadmill.
