HOW to USE a Heart Rate Program

See GETTING STARTED on page 17.

Select a HEART RATE program.

Press the HEART RATE button one, two, or three times to select the CONSTANT HEART RATE, VARIABLE HEART RATE, or FAT BURN pro- gram. Note: The CONSTANT HEART RATE pro- gram will keep your heart rate near a percentage that you select. The VARIABLE HEART RATE program will keep your heart rate within a target range during your workout. The FAT BURN pro- gram will keep your heart rate near 65% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate (see step 7 at the right for an explanation of your age-predicted maximum heart rate).

When a HEART RATE program is selected, the name of the program will appear in the main dis- play. The words ENTER AGE and the current age setting will then be shown.

During HEART RATE programs, the matrix will show a moving graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an addi- tional peak will appear in the graphic.

Enter your age.

See step 3 on page 18.

Enter your weight.

See step 4 on page 19.

If you have selected the VARIABLE HEART RATE program, continue to step 6. If you have selected the CONSTANT HEART RATE pro- gram, skip to step 7. If you have selected the FAT BURN program, skip to step 8.

Enter a minimum target heart rate setting. The words MIN PERCENT and the minimum tar- get heart rate setting for the program will be shown in the main display. If desired, you can change the minimum target heart rate setting by pressing the + and – buttons beside the ENTER button. The buttons can be held down to change the minimum heart rate setting quickly. Then, press the ENTER button.

Enter a target heart rate setting.

The words MAX PERCENT and the target heart rate setting for the program will be shown in the main display. The target heart rate setting repre- sents a percentage of your age-predicted maxi- mum heart rate. Your age-predicted maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years old, your age-predicted maxi- mum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).

If desired, you can change the target heart rate setting by pressing the + and – buttons beside the ENTER button. The buttons can be held down to change the target heart rate setting quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from 45% to 85% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate. Then, press the ENTER button.
