Enter your age.
You must enter your age to use a pulse-driven
program.
To enter your age, press the + and – but-
tons above the ENTER AGE/WT button. The but-
tons can be held down to enter your age quickly.
The age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is
shown, press the ENTER AGE/WT button.
If you have selected the CARDIO WALK PULSE
program or the ENDURANCE PULSE program,
go to step 6. If you have selected the MANUAL
PULSE program, go to step 5.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
After you have entered your age, the words
ENTER PERCENT and the current target heart
rate setting for the program will be shown in the
main display. The target heart rate setting repre-
sents a
percentage
of your
estimated maximum
heart rate
. Your estimated maximum heart rate is
220 minus your age. For example, if you are 30
years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is
190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are
30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is
equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).
If desired, you can change the target heart rate
setting by pressing the + and – buttons above the
ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held
down to change the target heart rate setting
quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from
50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.
Press the START 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 for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each pulse-driven program is divided into one-
minute segments. The main display will show both
the time remaining in the program and the time re-
maining in the current segment of the program.
One target heart rate setting is programmed for
each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE pro-
gram, the same target heart rate setting will be
programmed for all segments.)
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound
and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting for the next
segment. The speed and/or incline setting will flash
in the main display to alert you before the speed
and/or incline changes. The program will continue
until no time remains in the program. The walking
belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed and incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.
However, if you
decrease
the speed, the incline
will automatically
increase
; if you
increase
the
speed, the incline will
decrease
. If you
increase
the incline, the speed will
decrease
; if you
de-
crease
the incline, the speed will
increase
.
The
treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart
rate near the target heart rate setting for the cur-
rent segment.
Note: When the incline reaches the
lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any
further. When the incline reaches the highest set-
ting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters PLS will flash in the main display and
the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-
matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If
this occurs, see the instructions on page 8.
To stop the program at any time, press the STOP
button. Pulse-driven programs should not be
stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a
pulse-driven program again, reselect the program
and start it at the beginning.
Follow your progress with the main display.
See step 5 on page 12.
When the program is completed, remove the
key.
See step 6 on page 15.
