NordicTrack NTC69023 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor, Instead of your heart rate, Resistance

Current Segment

4 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

	To use a heart rate program, you must use the
	handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 13)
	or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
	handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
	the handgrips continuously during the program.
	However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
	quently for the program to operate properly.	Each
	time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
	on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
	Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,
	the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
	instead of your heart rate.
	Press the Program Start button or begin
5
	pedaling to start the program.

Each heart rate program consists of 20 one- minute segments. One resistance setting and

one heart rate setting are programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting and/or heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)

The resistance

setting for the first segment will be

shown in the flash- ing Current Segment column

of the matrix. The resistance settings

for the next several segments will be shown in the 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

series of tones will sound, and	all resistance set-
tings will move one column to the left.	The resis-

tance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column

and the resistance of the exercise cycle will auto- matically adjust to the resistance setting for the second segment.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate setting for the current segment. The lit indicators in the bar will show your actual pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor, the console will peri-

odically compare	a
your heart rate to
the heart rate set-
ting for the current
segment; if neces-
sary, an indicator
in the bar will then
flash to prompt you	b
to increase or
decrease your
pace to bring your
heart rate closer to
the current heart
rate setting. If an indicator to the		right of the lit
indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase
your pace. If an indicator to the		left of any lit indi-

cator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flashing, your heart rate is near the current heart rate setting.

Important: The heart rate settings are intend- ed only to provide motivation. Your actual heart rate may be slower than the current

heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The program will continue until the resistance set- ting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column of the matrix and no time

remains in the program.

	Note: During the program, you can	manually over-
	ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
	ment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons.
	However, when the next segment begins, the
	exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the
	resistance setting for the next segment. If you
	stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will
	sound and the program will pause. To restart the
	program, simply resume pedaling.
	Monitor your progress with the two displays.
