During heart rate pro- grams, the matrix will show a graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heart- beat is detected, an ad- ditional peak will ap- pear.

When a heart rate pro-

 

 

 

gram is selected, the

 

 

 

word “AGE” and the

 

 

 

current age setting will

 

 

 

flash in the Calories/

 

 

 

Pulse display. If you

 

 

 

 

 

 

have already entered

 

 

your age, simply press the Enter Age button. If

 

 

you have not entered your age, press the

and

 

buttons beside the Enter Age button to enter your

 

 

age. Then, press the Enter Age button.

 

 

After you have entered

 

 

 

 

 

 

your age, the letters

 

 

 

“SPd” and the maxi-

 

 

 

mum speed setting of

 

 

 

the program will flash in

 

 

 

the Calories/Pulse dis-

 

 

 

 

 

 

play. If desired, press

 

 

the and buttons beside the Enter Age button

 

to adjust the maximum speed setting. When the

 

 

desired setting is shown, press the Enter Age but-

 

ton.

 

 

Press the Start button or the Speed

button to

5

start the program.

 

 

 

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-

mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Each heart rate program is divided into several time

segments of different lengths. One target heart rate is programmed for each segment.

During each segment, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will

 

automatically increase or decrease to bring your

 

heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the

 

speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the

 

program (see step 4 at the left) and your heart

 

rate is still too far below the current target heart

 

rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase

 

to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart

 

rate.

 

During the last three seconds of each segment, a

 

series of tones will sound and the Speed display

 

and the Distance/Incline display will flash.

 

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 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 current target heart rate, the speed and/or in-

 

cline of the treadmill may automatically change to

 

bring your heart rate closer to the target heart

 

rate.

 

If your pulse is not detected during the program,

 

the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/

 

Pulse display and the speed and incline of the

 

treadmill may automatically decrease until your

 

pulse is detected. If this occurs, see the instruc-

 

tions included with the optional chest pulse sensor.

 

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop

 

button. Heart rate programs cannot 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.
