HOW to USE the PULSE-DRIVEN Program

At the beginning of each four-minute level, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati- cally increase. The fitness test program will con- tinue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate, and the current four-minute level is completed. The fitness test program will then be completed, regardless of how many levels remain.

When the fitness test program is completed,

the letter “C” will appear in the main display and a two-minute cool-down period will begun. The

incline will then adjust to 1% and the speed will de- crease.

When the cool-down period is completed, the walking belt will slow to a stop. After the fitness test program is com-

pleted, your fitness

level will be shown in the main display. There are ten fitness levels—

fitness level 10 (FL:10) is the highest. Remem-

ber, the fitness program is intended only to indi- cate your relative fitness level.

Note: The Speed and Incline buttons will not function while the fitness test program is selected. If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters “PLS” will flash in the main display. If your pulse is not detected during the last thirty seconds of any four-minute level (after four minutes, after eight minutes, etc.), the fitness test program will end and the main display will show a fitness level of 0 (FL: 0).

The fitness test program cannot be stopped tem- porarily and then restarted. However, the program can be stopped at any time by pressing the Stop button. The main display will then show an esti- mated fitness level.

6 When the program has ended, remove the key.

See step 6 on page 13.

The pulse-driven program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level during your workout. Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor to use the pulse-driven program (see page 24).

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-driven program. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use the pulse-driven program.

1 Put on the chest pulse sensor.

Refer to the instructions included with the chest pulse sensor to put on the chest pulse sensor.

2 Insert the key fully into the console.

See GETTING STARTED on page 10.

3 Select the pulse-driven program.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will automatically be selected. To select the pulse- driven program, first press the Select Workout Goal button repeatedly until the words “HEART RATE” appear in the main display.

Next, press the Select Course button until the words “PULSE DRIVEN” appear.
