5 Enter a maximum target heart rate setting.
After you have entered a
maximum speed setting, the letters “PLS” and the current maximum target heart rate setting of the program will appear in
the display. Press the Heart Rate increase and de- crease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 27).
6 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor. It is not necessary to hold the pulse sensor continuously during the program; however, you should hold the pulse sensor fre- quently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the pulse sensor, the letters “PLS” will appear in the display instead of your heart rate.
Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
7 start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread- mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each heart rate program is divided into either 20 or 30
The target heart rate
setting for the first seg- ment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment column of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next four segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. In addition, the speed
setting and the incline setting will flash in the dis- play to alert you. When the first segment ends, all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the sec- ond segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.
During each segment, the console will compare your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the speed of the walking belt will auto- matically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the pro- gram (see step 4 on page 15) and your heart rate is still too far below the target heart rate, the in- cline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
The program will continue in this way until the tar- get heart rate setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column and the last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low at any time during the program, you can adjust the setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, each time the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button. The time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the program, press the Start button or the Speed + button. The walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph. When the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change.
