HEART RATE MONITOR MODE
The treadmill may at any time be used in the Heart Rate Monitor Mode. If the signal from the chest strap
is detected, heart rate BPM will be displayed in the INCLINE window. The incline will only be briefly
displayed if manual or program changes are initiated. The Heart Rate program is designed to keep your
heart at a desired amount of “beats per minute” by automatically adjusting the incline. For example, you
have programmed in a desired heart rate of 125 BPM and your heart rate is only at 110 BPM. If you are
wearing the Heart Rate Transmitter, correctly the incline will automatically increase to intensify the work
load, causing your heart rate to slowly climb to 125 BPM. The treadmill will attempt to maintain your tar-
get heart rate through adjustments to the incline for the remainder of your workout. In the same respect, if
your heart rate is above your programmed amount of BPM’s, the incline will automatically decrease to
lower your heart rate. You may at any time during the Heart Rate Program adjust/override the speed
and/or the incline by simply pressing the correct corresponding button. You may also change your “Target
Heart Rate” at any time by pressing the PROGRAM UP or PROGRAM DOWN button.
HEART RATE PROGRAM OPERATION
1. Plug treadmill into a surge protector outlet. Attach the Red Safety Key on to the treadmill console.
2. Stand on the treadmill and straddle belt. Attach safety key clip to your clothes.
3. Press POWER button. Place the Heart Rate Transmitter strap across your chest and connect ends. (Make
sure your skin is moist and the strap is snug for accurate transmission). At this time, if the display is
receiving a signal from the chest strap, the incline window will begin to settle on your current heart rate.
4. Press the PROGRAM UP button until the HEART RATE LED is on. The incline window will momentarily
flash ‘125’, which is the default program target heart rate.
5. The TIME/PACE window will blink. Use the SPEED + or - arrows to select your workout time. Press
ENTER PROGRAM.
6. The SPEED window will then blink. Use the SPEED + or - arrows to select the speed for your workout.
Press ENTER PROGRAM.
7. The incline window (if receiving your heart rate accurately) will show current BPM, and the small red light
labeled PULSE adjacent to the incline window, will be illuminated. (If the receiver is not receiving an
accurate reading, the incline window will be flashing - - - -).
8. Press START/STOP button. Belt will begin to move after 4 seconds. Step on belt slowly after the belt starts
moving.
9. To adjust the pre-set target heart rate press the PROGRAM UP or PROGRAM DOWN button.
The small light on the console labeled TARGET will be illuminated if you are at your target. If you are
not, the ABOVE or BELOW lights will illuminate and reflect if you are above or below your goal. If you
are not within 25 BPM of your “Target heart rate” the program will not work. DO NOT STOP TO START
OVER. Continue exercising and your heart rate will naturally increase. The program will continually
monitor your heart rate and periodically adjust the incline up or down to increase or decrease the resistance
thereby keeping you at your target zone. At the conclusion of the programmed time the TIME window
will flash 00:00 and the CALORIES/DISTANCE window will continue to accumulate values. The tread-
mill will continue operation until the START/STOP button or the PAUSE button is pressed. Press the
POWER button to turn off the treadmill.
