HOW TO USE PULSE PROGRAMS
CAUTION: If you have heart prob- lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the pulse pro- grams. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
1 Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11.
2 Select one of the pulse programs.
When the key is inserted, the man-
ual mode will be selected and the Manual indicator will light. To select one of the pulse
programs, press the Program button repeatedly until one of the two pulse program indicators lights.
The profiles on the console show how the target heart rate will change during the pulse programs. The numbers beside the profiles show the heart rate range for the programs. For example, the upper profile shows that the treadmill will keep your heart rate at 65% to 85% of your maximum heart rate during the first program. (Your maxi- mum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart rate is 195 beats per minute.)
When a pulse pro- gram is selected, the program dis- play will show a simplified profile of the program.
3 Enter your age.
When a pulse program is selected, the letters “AGE” will appear in the Distance/Incline/Laps display. You must enter your age to use a pulse

program. If you have al- ready entered your age, go to step 4. If you have not entered your age, press the Incline buttons to enter your age. Your
age will be shown in the Time/Segment Time dis- play. Once you have entered your age, your age will be saved in memory.
Put on the chest pulse monitor.
The chest pulse monitor must be worn when a pulse program is used. See HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE MONITOR on page 8. Note: A pulse program can be started without a heart rate reading; however, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically decrease if your heart rate is not detected during the program.
Press the Start button.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each pulse pro-
gram is divided into
The heart rate set- ting for the first
segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the program display. The heart rate settings for the next twelve segments will be shown in the twelve columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a se- ries of tones will sound, and all heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati- cally change to bring your heart rate closer to the heart rate setting for the second segment.
If your heart rate is not detected during the pro- gram, the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Fat Calories/Pulse display. (See CHEST PULSE MONITOR
