HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM
Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.
Note:
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse program. While using the chest pulse sensor,
do not use the handgrip pulse sensor.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
See HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE
SENSOR on page 9.
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.
Select one of the pulse programs.
To select a pulse program, press one of the four
pulse program buttons; “PLS1,” “PLS2,” “PLS3,” or
“PLS4” will appear in the priority display for a few
seconds.
If pulse program 2 is selected,
a pulse symbol
will scroll across the matrix (see the drawing
above).
If pulse program 1, 3,
or 4 is selected,
a
profile of the target
heart rate settings of
the program will scroll
across the matrix.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If pulse program 2 is
selected,
the target
heart rate setting for the
entire program will flash
in the display. If de-
sired, press the Incline
increase and decrease
buttons to change the target heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 29).
If pulse program 1, 3, or 4 is selected,
the maxi-
mum target heart rate setting of the program will
flash in the display. If desired, press the Incline in-
crease and decrease buttons to change the maxi-
mum target heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE IN-
TENSITY on page 29).
Note: If you change the
maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity
level of the entire program will change.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Pulse program 2 is divided into 40 one-minute
segments. The same target heart rate setting is
programmed for all segments. (For a shorter
workout, simply stop the program before it ends.)
Pulse programs 1, 3, and 4 are divided into 20 or
30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate
setting is programmed for each segment. Note:
The same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.
If pulse program 1, 3,
or 4 is selected, the tar-
get heart rate setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment
column of the matrix.
The target heart rate
settings for the next
several segments will be shown in the columns to
the right. When only three seconds remain in the
first segment of the program, both the Current
Segment column and the column to the right will
flash and a series of tones will sound.

consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
