You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor
(see page 23) to use a heart rate program.
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
85% Max or Self Select
button. The indicator on
the button that you
press will light.
During the 85% Max program, your heart rate will
reach approximately 85% of your
estimated maxi-
mum heart rate;
during the Self Select program,
your heart rate will remain near a level that you
select
.
Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate
is determined by subtracting your age from 220.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your esti-
mated 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, a
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 below 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
below 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 below the Enter button to adjust
the target heart rate setting. When the desired
setting is shown, press the Enter button.
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.
