HOW to USE the Fitness Test Program

If your heart rate is not detected during the program, the letters “PLS” will flash in the PULSE display and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically decrease. (See HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 7.)

While the program is in progress, minor adjust- ments can be made to the speed or incline of the treadmill with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons. However, if you increase the speed, the incline will automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed, the incline will increase. If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline, the speed will increase. The console will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the heart rate setting shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column. Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.

To stop the program, press the STOP button. Pulse programs should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use the pulse program again, re- select the program and start it at the beginning.

The fitness test program is designed to estimate the rel- ative fitness level you have achieved. For the best re- sults, the fitness test program should be used at a time when your energy level is high; the program should not be used if you have already exercised during the day.

The fitness test program consists of up to seven

4-minute segments and is followed by a 2-minute cool- down period. The speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically increase at the beginning of each 4- minute segment. When your heart rate reaches 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate, the FITNESS TEST will end. After a 2-minute cool-down period, the console will display your estimated fitness level.
