HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen-
sor (see page 20) to use a heart rate program.
Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.
See the instructions included with the optional
chest pulse sensor.
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
10.
Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart rate
program, press the
Programs button repeat-
edly until one of the two
heart rate program indi-
cators lights.
If the first heart rate
program is selected,
a
pulse symbol will scroll
across the matrix.
If the second heart
rate program is se-
lected,
the first eigh-
teen target heart rate
settings of the program
will appear in the matrix.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If the first heart rate
program is selected,
the
target heart rate setting
for the entire program will
flash in the display. If de-
sired, press the Pulse in-
crease and decrease buttons to change the target
heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on
page 25).
If the second heart rate program is selected,
the maximum target heart rate setting of the pro-
gram will flash in the display. If desired, press the
Pulse increase and decrease buttons to change
the maximum target heart rate setting
(see EXER-
CISE INTENSITY on page 25).
Note: If the maxi-
mum target heart rate setting is changed, the in-
tensity level of the entire program will change.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
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.
The first heart rate program is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. (For a
shorter workout, simply stop the program before it
ends.) The second heart rate program is divided
into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart
rate setting is programmed for each segment.
Note: The same target heart rate setting may be
programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.
If the second heart rate
program is selected, the
target heart rate setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the matrix. The
target heart rate settings
for the next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right. When only three seconds re-
main in the first segment of the program, both the
Current Segment column and the column to the
right will flash and a series of tones will sound.
