If the HILL or INTERVAL program is selected, the PULSE display will show the maximum heart rate

setting of the program,

in beats per minute. The LED matrix will show the maximum heart rate setting as a percentage of your maximum

possible

heart rate. (Your maximum possible heart rate is 220 minus your age).

If the HILL or INTERVAL program is selected, go directly to step 8. If the SELF SELECT program is selected, go to step 7.

7Select a heart rate setting.

If the SELF SELECT program is selected, your heart rate will be kept near a setting that you choose. Press the START/ENTER button. The PULSE display will show the current heart rate setting of the program, in beats per minute (see the drawing at the top of this page). The LED matrix will show the current heart rate setting as a percentage of your maximum possible heart rate (see the drawing above). (Your maximum possible heart rate is 220 minus your age). If desired, you can change the percentage shown in the LED matrix by pressing the HEART RATE buttons. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the percentage will change by 5%. The percentage can be from 60% to 85%. As the percentage is changed, the heart rate setting shown in the PULSE display will also change.

8Press the START/ENTER button or the SPEED Ò+Ó button to start the program.

When the program is started, the SPEED display will flash and a tone will sound twice. If the incline of the treadmill is higher than 1.5%, it will automatically decrease to 1.5%. After a moment, the walking belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

As you

exercise, the LED matrix will display two numbers.

The

number on the left is the current target heart rate setting; the number on the right is your actual heart rate. (The numbers are percentages of your maximum possible heart rate). At the end of each one-minute period of the program, a tone will sound and the console will compare your actual heart rate to the target heart rate. If your actual heart rate is higher or lower than the target heart rate by 5% or more, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

The TIME/PACE display will show the time remaining in the program. Near the end of the program, the walking belt will slow to allow you to cool down. During the last ten seconds of the program, the incline will decrease to 1.5%. When no time remains in the TIME/PACE display, the walking belt will slow to a stop.

If your heart rate is not detected during a HEART RATE program, the letters ÒPLSÓ will flash in the PULSE display. (See Heart Rate Monitor Trouble- shooting on page 8.) The speed and/or incline of the treadmill may also automatically decrease until your heart rate is detected.

To stop a HEART RATE program momentarily, press the STOP button. The displays will pause and the TIME/PACE display will begin to flash. To restart the program, press the START/ENTER button or the SPEED Ò+Ó button. To end the program and reset the displays, hold down the STOP button for two seconds.

Note: Minor adjustments can be made to the speed or incline of the treadmill during a HEART RATE program 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. 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.
