HOW to USE PULSE-DRIVEN Programs

Pulse-driven programs automatically control the incline and speed of the INCLINE TRAINER to keep your heart rate near a target level while you exercise. Follow the steps below to use a pulse-driven program.

Put on a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor (not included). Note: Using a cell phone near the chest pulse sensor may cause a false heart rate reading.

You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a pulse-driven program. Refer to the instructions included with your chest pulse sensor.

Insert the key into the console.

Refer to GETTING STARTED on page 14.

Select one of the three pulse-driven programs.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select one of the three pulse-driven programs, press the PROGRAM SELECT button repeatedly until the words CARDIO WALK PULSE, ENDURANCE PULSE, or MANUAL PULSE appear in the main display. Note: The CARDIO WALK PULSE program will keep your heart rate near 65% of your estimated maximum heart rate (refer to step 5 at the right for an expla- nation of your estimated maximum heart rate). The ENDURANCE PULSE program will keep your heart rate near 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate. The MANUAL PULSE program will keep your heart rate near a percentage that you select.

When a pulse-driven program is selected, the name of the selected program and the total pro- gram time will scroll across the main display. The words ENTER AGE and the current age setting will then be shown.

During pulse-driven programs, the matrix will show a moving graphic that repre-

sents your heart rate. Each time a heart- beat is detected, an

additional peak will appear in the graphic.

Enter your age.

You must enter your age to use a pulse-driven program. To enter your age, press the + and – but- tons beside the ENTER AGE button. The buttons can be held down to enter your age quickly. The age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is shown, press the ENTER AGE button.

If you have selected the CARDIO WALK PULSE or ENDURANCE PULSE program, go to step 6. If you have selected the MANUAL PULSE pro- gram, go to step 5.

Enter a target heart rate setting.

After you have entered your age, the words ENTER PERCENT and the target heart rate set- ting for the program will be shown in the main dis- play. The target heart rate setting represents a percentage of your estimated maximum heart rate. Your estimated maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).

If desired, you can change the target heart rate setting by pressing the + and – buttons beside the ENTER AGE button. The buttons can be held down to change the target heart rate setting quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from 50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.

Press the START button or the SPEED + button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the IN- CLINE TRAINER will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
