HOW to USE a Heart Rate Program

CAUTION: If you have heart prob- lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the heart rate programs. If you are taking medication regu- larly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

Note: You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a heart rate program. While using the chest pulse sensor, do not use the handgrip pulse sensor.

1 Put on the chest pulse sensor.

See page 8.

2 Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 10.

3 Select a heart rate program.

To select a heart rate program, press the Heart Rate Control Programs button repeatedly until “P-7” or “P-8” appears in the right display.

If heart rate program 7 is selected, a pulse sym- bol will scroll across the matrix in the left display. If heart rate program 8 is selected, a profile of the target heart rate settings of the program will scroll across the matrix.

Note: During heart rate program 7, your heart rate will remain near a target heart rate setting that you select. During heart rate program 8, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate. Note: Your maxi- mum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190).

4 Enter your age.

When a heart rate program is selected, the word “AGE” and the current age setting will begin to flash in the right display. If you have already en- tered your age, press the Enter button. If you have not entered your age, press the + or – button be- side the Enter button to enter your age, and then press the Enter button.

5 Enter a target heart rate setting for the program.

If heart rate program 7 is selected, the letters “PLS” and the target heart rate setting for the pro- gram will begin to flash in the right display. If de- sired, change the target heart rate setting by pressing the + or – button beside the Enter button (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). Then, press the Enter button.

If heart rate program 8 is selected, the letters “PLS” and the maximum target heart rate setting for the program will begin to flash in the right dis- play. If desired, change the maximum target heart rate setting by pressing the + or – button beside the Enter button (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). Then, press the Enter button. Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change.
