Special Operations of Heart Rate Functions:
All treadmills that are factory equipped with a Heart Rate Control system have many distinct features both
in the Heart Rate Control program and during heart rate monitoring. This section will give you a more
detailed background to use your treadmill in the most effective manner.
How the Heart Rate Control Program Works:
Heart Rate Control uses your treadmill’s incline system to adjust your heart rate. Increases and decreases in
elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed. Additionally, changes in incline keep
you in control of the machine’s speed instead of the machine controlling you.
Heart rate Auto-Pilot feature
This unique feature allows the user to instantly enter the Heart Rate Control mode at any time with the press of
a button. The HR2 program button also doubles as the Auto-Pilot button. During any program the user may
press the Auto-Pilot button to enter the HRC program. Your current heart rate (the heart rate you are at when
you press Auto-Pilot) will be maintained automatically by the Auto-Pilot program. You may press the
elevation/incline up or down buttons to change your target heart rate while in the Auto-Pilot mode.
Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:
You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (HR-1) program or the
Cardiovascular (HR-2) program. The Weight Control program will maintain your heart rate at 60% of your
Maximum Heart Rate. The Cardiovascular program will maintain your heart rate at 80% of your Maximum
Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is based upon a formula that subtracts your age from a constant of 220.
Your HR setting is automatically calculated during the setup mode when you enter your age.
CAUTION!
The target value used in HR-1 and HR-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do not
exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value
that will set a lower target goal.
CAUTION!
Heart rate programs are intended for wireless transmitter chest strap only. Do not use Pulse Grip bar for
Heart Rate Control. You must receive a strong / steady value in heart rate window or the program will not
start.
STEP 1: Press HR1 or HR2 button.
STEP 2: The Pulse window will be blinking, showing the default HR for this program. You may adjust it
and press enter if you want or just press enter to accept the default value.
STEP 3: The Calorie will now be blinking showing bodyweight. Adjust and press enter or press enter to
accept default.
STEP 4: The Pulse window will now be blinking showing age. Adjust and press enter or press enter to
accept default. Adjusting Age will change the Target HR value.
STEP 5: The Time window will now be blinking. Adjust the time and press enter. STEP 6:
Press Start to begin program.
During the program you may increase or decrease the target heart rate by pressing the
elevation/incline up or down buttons.
