Once the ‘THR Zone’ quick program key is selected (5.0T only), wait for 5 seconds and you will see the target heart rate flashing in the Heart Rate window. Using the chart on page 26, determine your target heart rate. Your target heart rate should be set at a number that you will be able to exercise at throughout the majority of your workout. To adjust the target heart rate, press the up or down but- tons.

Once you have chosen your target heart rate, wait for five seconds and you will see the time flash- ing in the Time window. Press the up or down buttons to adjust your time. Once you choose your time, press the 'Start' button and begin your workout.

The ‘THR Zone’ program will have a 5 minute warm up time before it will get you in your ‘target heart rate zone’.

After the 5 minute warm up period, the resistance level will increase gradually to get the user to the entered ‘target heart rate zone’. Once the user is at the ‘target heart rate zone’, plus or minus 5 beats, the resistance level will remain at the current resistance level.

The last 5 minutes of the program will begin the cool down period. At this time, the program will grad- ually decrease the resistance level to give the

user a smooth cool down.

NOTE: The Chest Strap Transmitter is required to use the ‘THR Zone’ program.
