4. Enter a target heart rate setting.

If heart rate program 1 is selected, the maxi- mum target heart rate set- ting of the program will appear in the display. If

desired, press the in-

crease and decrease buttons beside the Heart Rate Programs button to change the maximum tar- get heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 28). Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire program will change.

If heart rate program 2 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the program will be displayed. If desired, press the increase and decrease but- tons beside the Heart Rate Programs button to change the target heart rate setting (see EXER- CISE INTENSITY on page 28). Note: The same target heart rate setting will be programmed for the entire program.

5.Press the Start button or the Speed increase button to start the program.

A moment after you press the button, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and in- cline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Heart rate program 1 is divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is pro- grammed for each segment. (Note: The same tar- get heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.) Heart rate pro- gram 2 is divided into 100 one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, sim- ply stop the program before it ends.

If heart rate

program 1 is selected, the target heart

rate setting for the first segment will

be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the display. The target heart rate settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three seconds re- main in the first segment, both the Current

Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. When the first segment ends, all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.

During both heart rate programs, 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 walking belt will automatically in- crease or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If the speed of the walking belt reaches 12 km/h and your heart rate is still too far below the target heart rate setting, the incline of the treadmill will also increase.

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low at any time during the program, you can adjust the setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, each time the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the speed and/or in- cline 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 display and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automati- cally decrease.

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button. The time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the program, press the Start button or the Speed increase button. The walking belt will begin to move at 2 km/h. When the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automati- cally change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

6.Follow your progress with the display. See step 5 on pages 13 and 14.

7.Turn on the fan if desired. See step 7 on page 14.

8.When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console.
