Put on the heart rate monitor.
The heart rate monitor must be worn when a pulse
program is used. See HOW TO USE THE HEART
RATE MONITOR on page 6. Note: A pulse pro-
gram can be started without a heart rate reading;
however, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
will automatically decrease if your heart rate is not
detected during the program.
Press the Start button.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and
begin walking.
Each pulse pro-
gram is divided into
twenty-three, one-
minute periods.
One heart rate set-
ting is programmed
for each period.
The heart rate set-
ting for the first pe-
riod will be shown
in the flashing Current Period column of the pro-
gram display. The heart rate settings for the next
seven periods will be shown in the seven columns
to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period
of the program, both the Current Period column
and the column to the right will flash, a series of
tones will sound, and
all heart rate settings will
move one column to the left.
The heart rate set-
ting for the second period will then be shown in
the flashing Current Period column and the speed
and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically
change to bring your heart rate closer to the heart
rate setting for the second period.
As you exercise, the
Target Heart Rate
display will show
whether your heart
rate is near the target
heart rate. If your
heart rate is within 15 beats per minute of the tar-
get heart rate, the indicator in the center will light.
If your heart rate is too low or too high, the low or
high arrows will light.
If your heart rate is not detected during the pro-
gram, the Pulse display will be blank. (See HEART
RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING on page
6.) The speed and/or incline of the treadmill may
also decrease until your heart rate is detected.
The program will continue until the heart rate set-
ting for the last period is shown in the Current
Period column and the Time/Segment Time dis-
play counts down to zero. The walking belt will
then slow to a stop.
While the program is in progress, minor adjust-
ments can be made to the speed or incline of the
treadmill with the Speed or Incline buttons.
However, if you increase the speed, the incline
will automatically decrease; if you decrease the
speed, the incline will increase. If you increase the
incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease
the incline, the speed will increase.
The console
will always attempt to keep your heart rate near
the heart rate setting for the current period.
Note:
When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the
speed cannot be increased any further. When the
incline reaches the highest setting, the speed can-
not be decreased any further.
To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop
button. All displays will pause and the Time/
Segment Time display will begin to flash. To
restart the program, press the Start button. To end
the program, press the Stop button, remove the
key, and then reinsert the key.
Follow your progress with the five displays.
Refer to step 6 on page 11.
Remove the key from the console.
When the program has ended, remove the key
from the console. Keep the key in a safe place.
Note: If the displays and indicators on the con-
sole remain lit after the key is removed, the
console is in the ÒdemoÓ mode. Refer to page
22 and turn off the demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill, move
the on/off switch near the power cord to the off
position.
