HEART RATE MONITOR MODE

The treadmill may at any time be used in the Heart Rate Monitor Mode. If the signal from the chest strap is detected, heart rate BPM will be displayed in the INCLINE window. The incline will only be briefly displayed if manual or program changes are initiated. The Heart Rate pro- gram is designed to keep your heart at a desired amount of “beats per minute” by automatically adjusting the incline. For example, you have programmed in a desired heart rate of 125 BPM and your heart rate is only at 110 BPM. If you are wearing the Heart Rate Transmitter, correctly the incline will automatically increase to intensify the work load, causing your heart rate to slowly climb to 125 BPM. The treadmill will attempt to maintain your target heart rate through adjust- ments to the incline for the remainder of your workout. In the same respect, if your heart rate is above your programmed amount of BPM’s, the incline will automatically decrease to lower your heart rate. You may at any time during the Heart Rate Program adjust/override the speed and/or the incline by simply pressing the correct corresponding button. You may also change your “Target Heart Rate” at any time by pressing the TARGET UP or TARGET DOWN button.

HEART RATE PROGRAM OPERATION

Plug treadmill into a surge protector outlet. Attach the Red Safety Key on to the treadmill con- sole.

Stand on the treadmill and straddle belt. Attach safety key clip to your clothes.

Press POWER button. Place the Heart Rate Transmitter strap across your chest and connect ends. (Make sure your skin is moist and the strap is snug for accurate transmission). At this time, if the display is receiving a signal from the chest strap, the incline window will begin to settle on your current heart rate. To use HEART RATE program without the chest strap, continuously hold the EKG grips through out the whole workout program.

Press the HEART RATE CONTROL button to enter the electronics into the Heart Rate Program. The incline window will momentarily flash ‘125’, which is the default program target heart rate.

The WORKOUT TIME window will blink. Use the SPEED + or – arrows to select your work- out time. Press ENTER PROGRAM.

The SPEED window will then blink. Use the same + or – arrows to select the speed for your workout. Press ENTER PROGRAM.

The incline window (if receiving your heart rate accurately) will show current BPM, and the small red light labeled PULSE adjacent to the incline window, will be illuminated. (If the receiver is not receiving an accurate reading, the incline window will be flashing - - - -).

To adjust the pre-set target heart rate press the TARGET +/TARGET– button then press the ENTER PROGRAM button.

Press START/STOP button. Belt will begin to move after 4 seconds. Step on belt slowly after the belt starts moving.

Press START/STOP button. Belt will begin to move after 4 seconds. Step on belt slowly after the belt starts moving.

The small light at the top of the console labeled TARGET will be illuminated if you are at your target. If you are not, the arrow shaped lights will illuminate and reflect if you are above or below your goal. If you are not within 25 BPM of your “Target heart rate” the program will not work. DO NOT STOP TO START OVER. Continue exercising and your heart rate will naturally increase. The program will continually monitor your heart rate and periodically adjust the incline up or down to increase or decrease the resistance thereby keeping you at your target zone. At the conclusion of the programmed time the TIME window will flash 00:00 and the CALORIES/DISTANCE window will continue to accumulate values. The treadmill will continue operation until the START/STOP button or the PAUSE button is pressed. Press the POWER button to turn off the treadmill.
