Heart rate program 6 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 195 beats per minute.) Heart rate program 7 is
designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate that you choose.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the two heart rate programs.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be selected.
To select a heart
rate program,
press the
Program button repeatedly until the number 6 or 7
appears in the upper right corner of the display.
The profiles numbered 6 and 7 on the right side
of the console show the resistance settings for
the heart rate programs.
Enter your age or a target heart rate.
If you selected program 6, the word AGE and
the current age setting will flash in the display
(see the drawing above). Press the + or – button
repeatedly to enter your age. Once you have
entered your age, your age will be saved in mem-
ory until the batteries are replaced.
If you selected
program 7, the
letters PLS and
a target heart
rate setting of
70 beats per
minute will flash
in the display.
Press the + or – button repeatedly to change the
target heart rate setting, if desired. The target
heart rate setting can be from 70 to 170 beats per
minute.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or put on the
chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the chest pulse
sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is
not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously
during the program. However, you should hold the
handgrips frequently for the program to operate
properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hold-
ing the handgrips, the letters PLS will appear in
the display instead of your heart rate.
Start the program.
To start the program, simply begin pedalling.
Program 6 consists of twenty, one-minute peri-
ods. One resistance setting and one heart rate
setting are programmed for each period. (The
same resistance setting and/or heart rate setting
may be programmed for consecutive periods.)
Program 7 is sixty minutes long (you may choose
to use only part of the program). The same resis-
tance setting and target heart rate setting are pro-
grammed for the entire program.
If program 6 is selected, the resistance of the
elliptical crosstrainer will automatically change as
shown by profile 6 on the console. (Note: If the
current resistance level is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance level by pressing the +
or – button. However, when the current period of
the program is completed, the resistance level will
automatically change if a different resistance set-
ting is programmed for the next period.) If pro-
gram 7 is selected, the resistance will not
change unless the target heart rate setting is
changed. Pressing the + and – buttons will
change the target heart rate setting.
As you pedal, the
pace indicators
will help you to
keep your heart
rate near the cur-
rent target heart
rate. The left
indicator will
show your actual pedalling pace. The right indica-
tor will show a target pace. When you hold the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the chest pulse
sensor, the console will compare your heart rate
to the current target heart rate. If necessary, the
right indicator will then change in height to prompt
you to increase or decrease your pace to bring
