HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Heart rate programs automatically adjust the speed

and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near

a target level while you exercise.Note: You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use heart rate pro-

grams.

CAUTION: If you have heart prob- lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and

have been inactive, do not use the heart rate programs. If you are taking medication regu- larly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

1 Put on the chest pulse sensor.

See the instructions on page 8.

2Insert the key fully into the console.

See GETTING STARTED on page 11.

3 Select a heart rate program.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select a heart rate program, first press the Select Goal button repeatedly until the words “HEART RATE” appear in the main display.

Next, press the Select Course button until the words “PULSE DRIVEN 1” or “PULSE DRIVEN 2” appear.

During heart rate

programs, the pro- gram display will show a graphic that represents your

heart rate. Each

time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will appear.

4 Enter your age and a maximum speed setting.

Three seconds after a heart rate program is se- lected, the words “ENTER AGE” and the current age setting will appear in the main 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 button will not start the program at this time). If you have not entered your age, press the Age/Weight Set buttons to enter your age. The buttons can be held down to enter your age quickly. Then, press the Start button. Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.

After you have entered your age, the words “ENTER MAX SPEED” and the maximum speed setting of the program will appear in the main dis- play. If desired, press the Speed buttons or the 1-step Speed buttons to change the maximum speed setting.
