Hold the handgrip pulse sensor | Healthrider HREL59930 instruction

If you have selected heart

rate program 8, the letters “PLS” and the current target heart rate setting will flash in

the left display. Press the – and + buttons repeat- edly to change the target heart rate setting, if desired. The target heart rate setting can be from

70 to 170 beats per minute.

4 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 6 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 Start button or begin pedaling to

5 start the program.

Heart rate program 7	consists of 20 one-minute
segments. One resistance setting and one target
heart rate setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. (The same resistance setting and/or target
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.) During the pro-
gram, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will
periodically change.	Heart rate program 8	is 60

minutes long (you may choose to use only part of the program). The same resistance setting and target heart rate setting are programmed for the entire program.

At the end of each segment, a series of tones will sound. The resistance of the pedals will then change if a different resistance setting is pro- grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis- tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the resistance by pressing the Quick Resistance but- tons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next seg- ment.

As you exercise,

the Training Zone

bar will help you to

keep your heart

rate near the cur-

rent target heart

rate setting. The lit

indicators in the

bar will show your

actual pace. When

you wear the chest

pulse sensor or

hold the handgrip

pulse sensor, the console will periodically com-

pare your heart rate to the target heart rate set-

ting; if necessary, an indicator in the bar will then

flash to prompt you to increase or decrease your

pace to bring your heart rate closer to the target

heart rate setting. If an indicator to the

right

the lit indicators is flashing (see drawing a),

increase your pace. If an indicator to the

left

any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b),

decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash-

ing, your heart rate is near the target heart rate

setting. Important: The target heart rate set-

tings are intended only to provide motivation.

Your actual heart rate may be slower than the

target heart rate settings. Make sure to exer-

cise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The program will continue in this way until the

left display shows that no time remains in the

program.

Note: If you stop pedalling for several seconds, a

tone will sound and the program will end. Heart

rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and

then restarted.

Monitor your progress with the two displays.

See step 5 on page 12.

Turn on the fan if desired.

When you are finished exercising, the console

8 will automatically turn off.
