NordicTrack NTC89021 Enter your age, Wear the chest pulse sensor or hold Handgrip pulse sensor

3 Enter your age.

You must enter your age to use a heart rate pro- gram. If you have already entered your age, press the Enter button and go to step 4. If you have not entered your age, press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button repeatedly to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.

Wear the chest pulse sensor or hold the

4 handgrip pulse sensor.

To use the chest pulse sensor, see page 9.

To use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not neces- sary to hold the handgrips continuously during the program. However, you should hold the handgrips frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hold- ing the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in the right side of the display instead of your heart rate.

5 Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each heart rate program consists of 20 one- minute segments. (The main display will show both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment of the pro- gram.) One resistance setting is programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)

At the end of each segment, a series of tones will sound. The resistance of the pedals will then change if a different resistance setting is pro- grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis- tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the resistance by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next seg- ment.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help you to keep your heart rate near the current tar- get heart rate for the program. The lit indicators in the bar will show your actual pace. When you wear the chest pulse sensor or hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the console will periodically com-

pare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate; if necessary,
an indicator in the
	a
bar will then flash
to prompt you to
increase or
decrease your
pace to bring your
heart rate closer to
the current target
	b
heart rate. If an
indicator to the
right of the lit indi-
cators is flashing
(see drawing a),

increase your

pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flashing, your heart rate is near the current target heart rate. Important:

The target heart rates are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual heart rate may be slower than the current target heart rate. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The program will continue in this way until the main display shows that no time remains in the program.

Note: If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will end. Heart rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted.

6 Monitor your progress with the main display.

See step 4 on page 13.

7 Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 14.

When the program is finished, the console

8 will automatically turn off.
