HOW TO USE PULSE PROGRAMS
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse program.
See the instructions on page 9.
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.
Select a pulse program.
When the key is inserted,
the manual mode will be
selected. To select a
pulse program, press the
Program Select button
repeatedly until a “P 1,”
“P 2,” “P 3,” or “P 4” appears in the Distance/
Incline display.
The diagrams numbered 1 through 4 on the left
side of the console show how the target heart rate
will change during the programs. During pulse
program 1, your heart rate will reach approxi-
mately 85% of your
estimated maximum heart
rate;
during pulse programs 2 and 3, your heart
rate will reach approximately 80% of your esti-
mated maximum heart rate; during pulse program
4, your heart rate will remain near a level that you
select
.
Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is de-
termined by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated
maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute
(220 – 30 = 190).
During pulse programs,
the matrix will show a
moving graphic that rep-
resents your heart rate.
Each time a heartbeat is
detected, an additional
peak will appear.
Enter your age.
When a pulse program
is selected, the word
“AGE” and the current
age setting will flash in
the Calories/Pulse dis-
play. If you have already
entered your age, simply
press the Enter button. If you have not entered
your age, press the + and – buttons beside the
Enter button to enter your age. Then, press the
Enter button.
Enter a target heart rate.
If pulse program 1, 2, or 3 is selected, go to
step 6. If pulse program 4 is selected, follow
the instructions below.
After you have entered
your age, the letters
“PLS” and the target
heart rate setting for the
program will flash in the
Calories/Pulse display. If
desired, press the + and
– buttons beside the Enter button to adjust the tar-
get heart rate setting. When the desired setting is
shown, press the Enter button.
Enter a maximum speed.
Next, the letters “SPd”
and the maximum speed
setting of the program
will flash in the Calories/
Pulse display. If desired,
press the + and – but-
tons beside the Enter
button to adjust the maximum speed setting.
When the desired setting is shown, press the
Enter button.

CAUTION:
If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the pulse pro-
grams. If you are taking medication regularly,
consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
Press the Start button or the Speed + 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.
Each pulse program is divided into several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
is programmed for each segment. Note: If pulse
program 4 is selected, the same target heart rate
is programmed for all segments.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the
speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the
program (see step 6 on page 16) and your heart
rate is still too far below the current target heart
rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound and the Speed display
and the Distance/Incline display will flash.
The program will continue until the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can adjust the
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,
each time the console compares your heart rate to
the current target heart rate, the speed and/or in-
cline of the treadmill may automatically change to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Pulse
display and the speed and incline of the treadmill
will stay the same until your pulse is detected. If
this occurs, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROU-
BLESHOOTING on page 9.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Pulse programs cannot be stopped tem-
porarily and then restarted. To use a pulse pro-
gram again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.
Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 12.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 13.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
See step 7 on page 15.
