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.

1 Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.

Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen- sor to use a heart rate program.

2 Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO USE THE MAIN MENU on page 12.

4 Select a Heart Rate program.

To select a Heart Rate program, press the Heart Rate button once or twice.

When a Heart Rate program is selected, the dis- play will show the name of the program and the maximum target heart rate setting of the program. In addition, a graph of the target heart rate set- tings of the program will appear in the center of the display.

Heart Rate program 1 is divided into one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments (except for the first two segments). Heart Rate program 2 is divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment.

Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive seg- ments.

Adjust the maximum target heart rate setting if

5 desired.

To adjust the maximum target heart rate setting, press the increase and decrease buttons beside the Heart Rate button. To adjust the target heart rate setting quickly, hold down one of the buttons.

6 Press the Start button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the walking belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Select a display mode and monitor your

7 progress with the display.

When a Heart Rate program is selected, the con- sole offers two display modes. Press the Display button to select the desired display mode.

Regardless of which display mode you select, a graph of the target heart rate settings of the pro- gram will appear in the display. A white line repre- senting your heartbeat will also appear; each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will ap- pear in the line. A small arrow below the graph will indicate your progress.

During each one-minute segment of the program, the console will compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate set- ting, the speed of the walking belt or the incline of the treadmill will automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set- ting. Each time the speed or incline changes, the speed setting and the incline setting will appear at the top of the display for a moment (or flash in the display, depending on which display mode is se- lected) to alert you.

When each segment ends, a series of tones will sound.
