NordicTrack CTL49021 user manual HOW to USE the Fitness Test Program

Each pulse-driven program is divided into one-

minute segments. ( The main display will show both the time remaining in the program and the time re-

maining in the current segment of the program.) One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE pro- gram, the same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all segments.)

When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, a series of tones will sound and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting for the next segment. The speed and/or incline setting will flash in the main display to alert you before the speed and/or incline changes. The program will continue until no time remains in the program. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If the speed and incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.
However, if you			decrease	the speed, the incline
will automatically			increase	; if you		increase	the
speed, the incline will			decrease		. If you increase
the incline, the speed will				decrease		; if you	de-
crease	the incline, the speed will					increase	. The
treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart
rate near the target heart rate setting for the cur-
rent segment.		Note: When the incline reaches the

lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest set- ting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.

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 your chest pulse sensor.

To stop the program at any time, press the STOP button. Pulse-driven programs should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a pulse-driven program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.
