HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Put on the optional chest pulse sensor (see
page 23).
You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor
to use a heart rate program.
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.
Select a heart rate program.
When the key is in-
serted, the manual
mode will be selected.
To select a heart rate
program, press the left
Select Program button
repeatedly until one of
the two heart rate program indicators lights.
The diagrams beside the heart rate program indi-
cators show how the target heart rate will change
during the programs. During the 85% Max. pro-
gram, your heart rate will reach approximately
85% of your
estimated maximum heart rate;
dur-
ing the Self Select program, your heart rate will re-
main near a level that you select
.
Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is de-
termined by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated
maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute
(220 – 30 = 190).
During heart rate pro-
grams, the matrix will
show a moving graphic
that represents your
heart rate. Each time a
heartbeat is detected,
an additional peak will
appear.
Enter your age.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the
word “AGE” and the cur-
rent age setting will flash
in the Heart Rate dis-
play. If you have already
entered your age, simply press the Enter button. If
you have not entered your age, press the + and –
buttons beside the Enter button to enter your age.
Then, press the Enter button.
Enter a maximum speed.
After you have entered
your age, the letters
“SPd” and the maximum
speed setting of the pro-
gram will flash in the
Heart Rate display. If
desired, press the + and – buttons beside the
Enter button to change the maximum speed set-
ting. When the desired setting is shown, press the
Enter button.
If the 85% Max. program is selected, go to step
7. If the Self Select program is selected, go to
step 6.
Enter a target heart rate.
After you have entered a
maximum speed setting,
the letters “PLS” and the
target heart rate setting
for the program will flash
in the Heart Rate dis-
play. If desired, press the + and – buttons beside
the Enter button to change the target heart rate
setting. When the desired setting is shown, press
the Enter button.

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.

Press the Start button or the Speed + 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.
Each heart rate program is divided into several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
is programmed for each segment. Note: If the Self
Select program is selected, the same target heart
rate is programmed for all segments.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the
speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the
program (see step 5 on page 16) and your heart
rate is still too far below the current target heart
rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound and the Speed display
and the Incline display will flash.
The program will continue until the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can adjust the
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,
each time the console compares your heart rate to
the current target heart rate, the speed and/or in-
cline of the treadmill may automatically change to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the Heart Rate dis-
play and the speed and incline of the treadmill
may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-
tected. If this occurs, see the instructions included
with the optional chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program, press the Stop button. Heart
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and
then restarted. To use a heart rate program again,
reselect the program and start it at the beginning.
Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 12.
Note: During heart rate
programs, the display
around the Heart Rate
display will show your
heart rate as a percent-
age of your estimated
maximum heart rate.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 13.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
See step 7 on page 15.
