HOW TO USE A PULSE CONTROL PROGRAM
Pulse control program 1 will automatically adjust the
speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate
near a target heart rate setting that you select. Pulse
control program 2 will keep your heart rate within a pre-
set range.
Follow the steps below to use a pulse control program.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse control program.
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.
Select a pulse control program.
To select a pulse control program, press the Pulse
Control Program button once or twice.
When pulse
control pro-
gram 1 is
selected,
a
heart sym-
bol will ap-
pear in the
matrix in the lower part of the display.
When pulse
control pro-
gram 2 is
selected,
the matrix
will show
the first
seven target heart rate settings of the program.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If pulse control pro-
gram 1 is selected,
the
target heart rate setting
for the program will
flash in the display. If
desired, press the
Incline increase or decrease button to change the
target heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTEN-
SITY on page 29).
Note: The same target heart
rate setting will be programmed for the entire pro-
gram.
If pulse control program 2 is selected,
the max-
imum target heart rate setting of the program will
flash in the display (see the drawing above). If de-
sired, press the Incline increase or decrease but-
ton to change the maximum target heart rate set-
ting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 29).
Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is
increased or decreased, the intensity level of the
entire program will increase or decrease.
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.
Pulse control program 1 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. (Note: For a
shorter workout, simply stop the program before it
ends.) Pulse control program 2 is divided into 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for each segment. Note: The
same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.
If pulse con-
trol program
2 is selected,
the target
heart rate
setting for
the first seg-
ment will be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column of the matrix. The target heart
rate settings for the next four segments will be
shown in the columns to the right.

Current Segment
CAUTION:
If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the pulse con-
trol programs. If you are taking medication reg-
ularly, consult your physician to find whether
the medication will affect your exercise heart
rate.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment, both the Current Segment column and the
column to the right will flash and a series of tones
will sound. When the first segment ends,
all target
heart rate settings will move one column to the
left.
The target heart rate setting for the second
segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column.
During both pulse control programs, the console
will regularly compare your heart rate to the cur-
rent target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is
too far below or above the target heart rate set-
ting, the speed of the walking belt will automati-
cally increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting. If the speed
of the walking belt reaches 7.5 mph and your
heart rate is still too far below the target heart rate
setting, the incline of the treadmill will also in-
crease.
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 target heart rate setting, 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 display and the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automat-
ically decrease. If this occurs, see CHEST PULSE
SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. The time will begin to flash in the display.
To restart the program, press the Start button or
the Speed + button. The walking belt will begin to
move at 1 mph. When the console compares your
heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automat-
ically change to bring your heart rate closer to the
target heart rate setting.
Follow your progress with the display.
See step 5 on page 12.
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.
