During heart rate pro- grams, the matrix will show a moving graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, a peak will appear.

“SPd” and the maximum speed setting of the pro-
gram will flash in the Speed display. If de-
sired, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Enter button to adjust the maximum speed setting. When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.
