When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button. Note: The maximum target heart rate set- ting can be between 65% and 85% (or 65% and 80%) of your estimated maximum heart rate (your estimated maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age). If the setting does not change when the ▲ or
▼button is pressed, the setting has reached its high or low limit.
5 Put on the heart rate monitor.
The heart rate monitor must be worn when a pulse program is used. See HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR on page 6. Note: A pulse pro- gram can be started without a heart rate reading; however, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease if your heart rate is not detected during the program.
6 Press the Start button.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each pulse program is
divided into
The heart rate setting for the first period will be shown in the flashing Current Period column of the program display. The heart rate settings for the next seventeen periods will be shown in the seventeen columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period of the program, both the Current Period column and the column to the right will flash, the Time/ Segment Time display will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The heart rate setting for the second period will then be shown in the flash- ing Current Period column and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically change, if necessary, to bring your heart rate closer to the heart rate setting for the second period.
As you exercise, the Target Heart Rate dis- play will show whether your heart rate is near the target heart rate. If
your heart rate is
within 15 beats per minute of the target heart rate, the indicator in the center will light. If your heart rate is too low or too high, the low or high arrow will light.
If your heart rate is not detected during the pro- gram, the Pulse display will be blank. (See HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 6.) The speed and/or incline of the treadmill may also decrease until your heart rate is detected.
The program will continue until the heart rate set- ting for the last period is shown in the Current Period column and the Time/Segment Time dis- play counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
While the program is in progress, minor adjust- ments can be made to the speed or incline of the treadmill with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if you increase the speed, the incline will automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed, the incline will increase. If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline, the speed will increase. The console will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate setting for the current period. Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.
To stop the program, press the Stop button. Pulse programs should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use the pulse program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.
7 Follow your progress with the five displays.
See step 6 on page 11.
8 When the program has ended, remove the key from the console.
