During heart rate pro- grams, the LED matrix will show a graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heart- beat is detected, an ad- ditional peak will ap- pear.
4 Enter your age and a maximum speed setting for the program.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the word “AGE” and the current age setting will
flash in the Pulse/ Calories/Fat Calories
display. If you have already entered your age, simply press the Enter button. If you have not en- tered your age, press the ▲ and ▼ buttons beside the Enter button to enter your age. Then, press the Enter button.
After you have entered your age, the letters
“SPd” and the maxi- mum speed setting of
the program will flash in the Pulse/Calories/Fat
Calories display. If desired, press the ▲ and ▼ but- tons beside the Enter button to adjust the maxi- mum speed setting. When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.
5 Press the Start button or the Speed ▲ button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread- mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each heart rate program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. (The Time/Segment Time/Pace display will show both the time remain- ing in the program and the time remaining in the current segment of the program.) One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment.
During each segment, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the speed of
the treadmill will automatically increase or de- crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi- mum speed setting of the program (see step 4 at the left) and your heart rate is still too far below the current target heart rate setting, the incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a series of tones will sound and the Distance/ Incline/Laps display and the Speed display will flash.
The program will continue until no time remains in the program. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low during the program, you can adjust the setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, each time the console compares your heart rate to the current target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters “PLS” will flash in the Pulse/Calories/ Fat Calories display and the speed and incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, refer to the instructions included with the optional chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button. Heart rate programs should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.
