Enter your age.

 

When a heart rate pro-

 

 

 

 

 

 

gram is selected, the

 

 

 

 

 

 

letters “AGE” and the

 

 

 

 

 

 

current age setting will

 

 

 

 

 

 

begin to flash in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speed display. You

 

must enter your age to use a heart rate program. If

 

you have already entered your age, press the Start

 

button (pressing the Start button at this time will

 

not start the program). If you have not entered

 

your age, press the Age/Weight Set buttons until

 

your age is shown. Then, press the Start button.

 

Your age will then be saved in memory.

After you have entered

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

your age, the letters

 

 

 

 

 

“SPd” (speed) and the

 

 

 

 

maximum speed limit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for the program will

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

flash in the Speed dis-

start the program.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

Each heart rate program is divided into 20 one-

minute segments. (

The Time/Pace display will

show both the time remaining in the program and

the time remaining in the current segment of the

program.) One target heart rate setting is pro-

grammed for each segment. (

The same target

heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)

During the program, the console will regularly 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 setting, the speed of

the treadmill will automatically increase or de- crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi- mum speed limit for the program (see step 5 at the left) and your heart rate is still too far below the current target heart rate setting, the incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

The program will continue until no time remains in the program. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If the current speed or incline setting is too high or too low, you can adjust the setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, each time the con- sole compares your heart rate to the current target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

If your pulse is not detected during the program,

the letters “PLS” will flash in the Incline/Heart Rate display and the speed and incline of the treadmill

may automatically decrease until your pulse is de- tected. If this occurs, see the instructions included with the chest pulse sensor.

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button. Heart rate programs should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.
