You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor
(see page 23) to use a heart rate program.

the instructions included with the chest pulse
sensor.
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
Program Select 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 esti-
mated maximum heart rate is determined by sub-
tracting 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 Calories/Pulse
display. If you have al-
ready entered your age, simply press the Enter
button. If you have not entered your age, press
the increase and decrease 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
Speed display. If de-
sired, press the increase and decrease buttons
beside the Enter button to adjust the maximum
speed setting. 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.
The letters “PLS” and
the target heart rate set-
ting for the program will
flash in the Calories/
Pulse display. If desired,
press the increase and
decrease buttons beside the Enter button to ad-
just the target heart rate setting. When the desired
setting is shown, press the Enter button.
