HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
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.

You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 23) to use a heart rate program. See the instructions included with the chest pulse sensor.

The diagrams beside the heart rate program indi- cators show how the target heart rate will change during the programs. During the 85% Max pro- gram, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate; dur- ing the Self Select program, your heart rate will re- main near a level that you select. Note: Your esti- mated maximum heart rate is determined by sub- tracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190).
During heart rate pro- grams, the matrix will show a moving graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will appear.
