5 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 heart rate program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. (The main display shows both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment of the program.) One target heart rate setting is pro- grammed for each segment.
During each segment, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the speed of the treadmill will automatically increase or de- crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi- mum speed setting of the program (see step 4 on page 17) and your heart rate is still too far below the current target heart rate setting, the incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a series of tones will sound and the speed setting and/or the incline setting will flash in the main display.
The program will continue until no time remains in the program. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low 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 current target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters “PLS” will flash in the main display and the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto- matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, refer to the instructions included with the optional chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button. Heart rate programs should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.
