4 Enter a target heart rate setting.

If heart rate program 1

is selected, the target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the display. If desired, press the Heart Rate increase

and decrease buttons to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). Note: The same target heart rate setting will be programmed for the entire program.

If heart rate program 2 is selected, the maxi-

mum target heart rate setting of the program will flash in the Pulse/Speed display. If

desired, press the Heart Rate increase and de- crease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change.

Press the Start button or the Speed increase

5 button to 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.

Heart rate program 1 is divided into 30 one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. (Note: For a shorter workout, simply stop the program before it ends.) Heart rate program 2 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.

Current Segment

for the first

 

 

 

 

segment will

 

 

be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. 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. In addition, the speed setting and the incline setting will flash in the displays to alert you. When the first seg- ment ends, all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate set- ting 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 7.5 mph 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.

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 automat- ically decrease. If this occurs, see the instructions included with the optional chest pulse sensor.

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 1 mph. When the console com- pares your heart rate to the target heart rate set- ting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
