HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen-
sor (see page 20) to use a heart rate program.

1. Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.

See the instructions included with the optional
chest pulse sensor. 

2. Insert the key into the console. 

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11.

3. Select a heart rate program.

To select a heart rate
program, press the
Programs button repeat-
edly until one of the two
heart rate program indi-
cators lights.  

If the first heart rate
program is selected,

a

pulse symbol will scroll
across the matrix. 

If the second heart
rate program is se-
lected,

the first eighteen

target heart rate settings
of the program will ap-
pear in the matrix.  

4. Enter a target heart rate setting.

If the first heart rate program is selected,

the

target heart rate setting for the entire program will

flash in the display. If de-
sired, press the Pulse in-
crease and decrease but-
tons to change the target
heart rate setting 

(see EX-

ERCISE INTENSITY on
page 25).

If the second heart rate program is selected,

the

maximum target heart rate setting of the program
will flash in the display. If desired, press the Pulse
increase and decrease buttons to change the max-
imum target heart rate setting 

(see EXERCISE IN-

TENSITY on page 25). 

Note: If the maximum tar-

get heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level
of the entire program will change.

5. Press the Start button or the Speed increase

button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill
will automatically adjust to the first speed and in-
cline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.

The first heart rate program is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. (For a shorter
workout, simply stop the program before it ends.)
The second heart rate program is divided into 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting
is programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments. 

If the second heart rate
program is selected, the
target heart rate setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flashing
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 re-
main 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. 

CAUTION:

If you have heart prob-

lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the heart rate
programs. If you are taking medication regu-
larly, consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
