Console Instructions
It is suggested for the Chest Strap Transmitter that you position the rectangular transmitter as
close to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles. For
best results, moisten the back of the transmitter for better contact.
If no Heart Rate signal is detected for 10 seconds, the message center will show “NO
DETECTED HR”. If this continues for 40 seconds, the message center will show “ABORT
PROGRAM” for 3 seconds then interrupt the Heart Rate Control program and return to Program
Mode.
HOW HEART RATE PROGRAMS WORK -
Delta Heart Rate (DHR) = Beats per minute difference between Target Heart Rate and Current
Heart Rate
The Heart Rate Programs will behave in the following manner:
If DHR is equal to or less than 5,
Tension Level stays the same, and Message Center will show
“IN HR TARGET” for 3 seconds then it will toggle back to workout information.
If DHR is more than 5,
Tension Level will decrease if current heart rate is below target heart
rate. If the current Tension Level is 1, then the Message. Window will display “STRIDE SLOW-
ER” for 3 seconds.
If DHR is more than 5,
Tension Level will decrease if current heart rate is above target heart
rate.
If DHR is more than 5,
Tension Level will increase if current heart rate is below target heart
rate.
The Console will check the user’s Heart Rate every 40 seconds and adjust the Tension Level to
fit the Target Heart Rate.
There are 5 HEART RATE CONTROL programs to choose from.
% (TARGET HEART RATE) -
Allows the user to select the percentage of your Maximum Heart
Rate (See section titled MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE for more information) that you would
like to maintain during your exercise session. The range of percentages is 50% to 85%.
HR 80% (CARDIO)
- Maintains your Target Heart Rate at 80% of Max HR by automatically
adjusting the tension levels. This program provide a high intensity, cardiovascular workout.
HR 65% (FAT BURN)
- Maintains your Target Heart Rate at 65% of Max HR by automatically
adjusting the tension levels. This program provides the ultimate fat burning workout.
HR HILL
(65-75-85%) -
Simulates hill training by changing the Target Heart Rate thru 3 dif-
ferent percentages. The changes will occur as follows:
65% - 75% - 85% - 75% - 65% -75% - 85% etc.
Each percentage will be held for three minutes before changing to the next percentage.
HR INT (HILL INTERVAL)
- This program alternates between 65% and 85% of your Max HR.
This program provides an excellent fat burn and cardiovascular workout. Each percentage will
be held for four minutes before alternating to the next percentage.
