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 one-minute

segments.

The Time/Incline/Segment Time 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 consecu- tive segments.)

When only three seconds remain in the first one- minute segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the Time/Incline/Segment Time display and the Speed/Min-Mile display will flash.

The speed and/or incline of the treadmill will then change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting for the next segment.

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

If the speed or incline setting for the current seg- ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set- ting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if

you

decrease

 

the speed, the incline will automati-

cally

increase

; if you

increase

the speed, the in-

cline will decrease

. If you increase

the incline, the

speed will

decrease

; if you

decrease

the incline,

the speed will

increase

. The treadmill will always

attempt to keep your heart rate near the target

 

heart rate setting for the current segment.

 

Note:

When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed can- not be decreased any further.

 

If your pulse is not detected during the program,

 

the letters PLS will flash in the Calories/

 

Fat Calories/Heart Rate display and the speed

 

and incline of the treadmill may automatically de-

 

crease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs,

 

refer to 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.

 

Follow your progress with the displays.
