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
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
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.
6Follow your progress with the five displays.
Refer to step 6 on page 11.
7Remove 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.
