HOW TO USE PULSE-DRIVEN PROGRAMS

Pulse-driven programs automatically control the incline and speed of the INCLINE TRAINER to keep your heart rate near a target level while you exercise. Follow the steps below to use a pulse-driven program.

1

Put on a Polar

®-compatible chest pulse sensor

(not included).

 

 

 

 

 

 

You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a

 

pulse-driven program.

 

Refer to the instructions

 

included with your

 

chest pulse sensor.

 

Insert the key into the console.

2

 

Refer to GETTING STARTED on page 14.

 

Select one of the three pulse-driven programs.

3

 

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be

 

selected. To select one of the three pulse-driven

 

programs, press the MODE button repeatedly until

 

the words MOAB RIM PULSE, SLICKROCK

 

TRAIL PULSE, or MANUAL PULSE appear in the

 

main display. Note: The MOAB RIM PULSE pro-

 

gram will keep your heart rate near 65% of your

 

estimated maximum heart rate

(refer to step 5 at

the right for an explanation of your estimated max- imum heart rate). The SLICKROCK TRAIL PULSE program will keep your heart rate near

80% of your estimated maximum heart rate. The MANUAL PULSE program will keep your heart rate near a percentage that you select.

When a pulse-driven program is selected, the name of the selected program and the total pro- gram time will scroll across the main display. The words ENTER AGE and the current age setting will then be shown.

During pulse-driven

programs, the matrix will show a moving graphic that repre- sents your heart rate. Each time a heart- beat is detected, an

additional peak will appear in the graphic.

4 Enter your age.

You must enter your age to use a pulse-driven

program. To enter your age, press the + and – but- tons beside the ENTER AGE/WT button. The but-

tons can be held down to enter your age quickly. The age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is shown, press the ENTER AGE/WT button.

If you have selected the MOAB RIM PULSE or SLICKROCK TRAIL PULSE program, go to step 6. If you have selected the MANUAL PULSE program, go to step 5.

5

Enter a target heart rate setting.

 

After you have entered your age, the words

 

ENTER PERCENT and the target heart rate set-

 

ting for the program will be shown in the main dis-

 

play. The target heart rate setting represents a

 

percentage

of your

estimated maximum heart

rate . Your estimated maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190

beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).

If desired, you can change the target heart rate setting by pressing the + and – buttons beside the ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held

down to change the target heart rate setting quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from 50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.

Press the START button or the SPEED + button

6 to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the IN- CLINE TRAINER will automatically adjust to the first incline and speed settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
