HOW TO USE PULSE PROGRAMS
1 Put on the heart rate monitor.
You must wear the heart rate monitor when using a pulse program (see page 7).
2 Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12.
3 Select the desired program.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select a pulse program, press the MODE button repeatedly until one of the two pulse
indicators lights. When a pulse program is se- lected, the LED matrix will show the first ten target heart rate settings for the program. The TIME dis- play will show how long the program will last.
4 Enter your age and a maximum speed setting.
When a pulse program is selected, the word “AGE”
and the current age set- ting will flash in the
PULSE display. If you have already entered
your age, simply press the ENTER button. If you have not entered your age, press the + and – but- tons beside the display to enter your age. Then, press the ENTER button.
After you have entered your age, the letters “SPd” and the current maximum speed setting
for the program will flash in the SPEED/PACE dis-
play. If desired, press the + and – buttons to adjust the maximum speed setting. When the desired setting is shown, press the ENTER button.
Press the START button or the SPEED + button
5 to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread- mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Pulse programs consist of
twenty, one-
minute periods. One tar- get heart rate setting is pro- grammed for each period. The target heart rate
setting for the first period will be shown in the flashing CURRENT PERIOD column of the LED matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next seven periods will be shown in the seven columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period of the program, both the CURRENT PERIOD col- umn and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. All target heart rate settings will then move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second period will then be shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column.
During the program, the console will periodically compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate setting, and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will change, if necessary, to bring your heart rate closer to the current target heart rate setting.
The program will continue until the heart rate set- ting for the last period is shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column and the TIME display counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If your heart rate is not detected during the pro- gram, the letters “PLS” will flash in the PULSE dis- play and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may 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; and so forth. The console will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the current target heart rate setting. 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.
