Hold the handgrip pulse sensor | NordicTrack NTC59020 guide

4 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

To use a heart rate program, you must use the

handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11) 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

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

Current Segment

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, both the Current Segment column and the

column to the right will flash, a series of tones will

sound, and

all resistance settings will move one

column to the left.

The resistance setting for the

second segment will then be shown in the flash-

ing Current Segment column and the resistance

of the exercise cycle will automatically 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 periodically compare your heart rate to the heart

rate setting for the

current segment; if

necessary, an indi-

cator in the bar will

then flash to

prompt you to

increase

decrease your

pace to bring your

heart rate closer to

the current heart

rate setting. If

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 indicator is flashing (see drawing b),

decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash-

ing, your heart rate is near the current heart rate

setting.

Important: The heart rate settings are

intended only to provide motivation. Your actual heart rate may be slower than the cur- rent 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.
