Locked/Non-Locked Heart Rate Signal Options
The “EITHER INPUT” option means that the heart rate source signal is not fixed during the workout
session (if the signal is lost either input will be valid). If the “LOCKED INPUTS” option is selected then
the heart rate source signal is locked on the first detected signal during the workout. To set a heart rate
signal input, or to turn off the heart rate option all together, perform the following steps:
1. On the console keypad, press [Level: UP], [3], [ENTER]. At this point the screen will display
“CUSTOMIZE”. Use the [Level: UP] key until “HR INPUTS” appears, then press [ENTER] to select th
option.
2. There are five options to handle heart rate input signals. Press the [Level: UP] and [Level: DOWN]
keys to scroll through the options until you find the option that you want. Press the [ENTER] key to
select that option.
The options are as follows:
LOCKED INPUTS
—allows either telemetry or contact heart rate signals to be detected. Once the console
has detected a valid input signal it will lock out the opposite type of signal for the duration of the workout
session. For example, if you start out using contact heart rate then you are limited to using only contact
heart rate during your workout session, even if the signal is lost while performing the workout, and vice-
versa.
EITHER INPUT
—allows either telemetry or contact heart rate signals to be detected. Does not lock out a
particular input signal for the entire workout. This option will detect either input signal during a workout
session, but only one at a time, and only until the other signal terminates.
TELEMETRY ONLY
—locks out contact heart rate signals and will only detect telemetry signals.
HAND ONLY
—locks out telemetry signals and will only detect contact heart rate signals.
BOTH HR OFF
—turns off the ability to detect any heart rate signal. Used in rare situations where there is
excessive interference with the heart rate signals. During workouts where heart rate is necessary, such
as the HR Zone Trainer and the Fitness Test, the console will pick up telemetry heart rate signals so that
the programs are not disabled.
HAND HR PGRM OFF
—means that the heart rate control programs require a telemetry strap to work.
No single fitness program is suitable for all. All fitness programs should be designed by fitness
professionals who are trained to tailor the program to the individual goals and fitness levels of each
client. The following information on exercise intensity, duration, and frequency is based on averages
and is included here only as a guideline for use by fitness professionals. Programs should be altered for
comfort and safety when necessary.
