Enter your age.
When a pulse program is selected, the word “AGE” will appear in the display and the current age setting will begin to flash. If you have already
entered your age, simply press the Start button (the program will not start at this time). If you have not entered your age, press the Incline increase and decrease buttons to enter your age, and then press the Start button.
Enter a maximum speed setting.
After you have entered your age, the letters “SPd” will appear in the display and the maxi- mum speed setting of the program will begin to
flash. If desired, press the Speed increase and decrease buttons to change the maximum speed setting. When the desired setting is shown, press the Start button (the program will not start at this time).
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 20 or 30 one- minute segments. One target heart rate is pro- grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar- get heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first seg- ment will be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next four segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. In addition, the speed setting and the incline setting will flash in the dis- play to alert you. When the first segment ends, all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the sec- ond segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.
During each segment, the console will compare your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the speed of the walking belt will auto- matically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the pro- gram (see step 5 on this page) 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. The program will continue in this way until the tar- get heart rate setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column and 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 target heart rate, the speed and/or incline 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 display and the speed and incline of the treadmill may automati- cally decrease. If this occurs, see the instructions included with the optional chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button. The time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the program, press the Start button or the Speed + button. The walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph. When the console compares your heart rate to the current target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automati- cally change.
