The pause duration defaults to 5 minute (configurable by the user), after which, the console returns to the Welcome Screen.

A workout can also be paused by using ZEROUT speed control. If, during a workout, a user decreases the speed to the minimum and continues to hold the DECREASE SPEED ARROW, the speed falls to 0 (zero) MPH, which is pause mode. The minimum speed is 0.5 MPH, unless changed in My Configuration. See section 5.2, My Configuration Settings, for more information.

ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY

The program will designate a Cooldown time period in proportion to the amount of time spent in the work- out. Upon completion of Cooldown, a workout summary will appear, which includes the distance travelled, the total calories burned, and other statistics. To exit the program without a Cooldown press the STOP but- ton or select CHANGE PROGRAM, and then RESET.

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the CARDIO workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80 = 144.
