HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1.Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 16.
2.Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart rate program, press one of the three Heart Rate buttons. When a Heart Rate button is pressed, the indicator on the button will light.
If the first heart rate program is se- lected, a pulse sym- bol will appear in the matrix.
If the second or third heart rate program is se- lected, a profile of the first several tar- get heart rate set- tings of the program will appear in the matrix.
3.Enter a target heart rate setting.
If the first heart rate program is selected, the target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the Pulse display. If desired, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Pulse display to change the target heart rate setting (see EXER- CISE INTENSITY on page 23). Note: The same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all segments.
If the second or third heart rate program is se- lected, the maximum target heart rate setting of the program will flash in the Pulse display. If de- sired, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Pulse display to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTEN- SITY on page 23). Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change.
4.Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the hand- grip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must wear the chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sen- sor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously dur- ing 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 holding the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will flash in the Pulse display instead of your heart rate.
5.Press the Start button to start the program.
The first heart rate
The second and third heart rate programs— These programs are divided into 30
The target heart rate
setting for the first segment will be shown in the flash- ing Current Segment column of the ma-
trix. The target heart
rate settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a se- ries of tones will sound, and all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The tar- get heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.
