During heart rate pro- grams, the program display will show a graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heartbeat is de- tected, an additional peak will appear.

4 Enter your age.

When a heart rate pro-

gram is selected, the let- ters AGE and the current age setting will begin to flash in the Calories/

Fat Calories/Heart Rate

display. You must enter your age to use a heart rate program. If you have already entered your age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your age, press the Incline (Age Set) buttons until your age is shown. Your age will then be saved in mem- ory.

Adjust the maximum speed limit for the

5 program.

When a heart rate pro- gram is selected, the let- ters SPd (speed) and the maximum speed limit for the program will flash in

the Speed/Min-Mile dis-

play. If desired, change the maximum speed limit by pressing the Quick Speed buttons.

Press the Start button or the Speed button to

6 start the program.

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 dis- play will show both the time remaining in the pro- gram and the time remaining in the current seg- ment of the program.) One target heart rate set- ting is programmed for each segment. (The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for consecutive segments.)

During the program, 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 treadmill will automatically increase or de- crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi- mum speed limit for the program (see step 5 at the left) and your heart rate is still too far below the current target heart rate setting, the incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

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, 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 setting, the speed and/or incline 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 Calories/Fat Calories/Heart Rate display and the speed and in- cline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, see 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.

7 Follow your progress with the displays.

See step 5 on page 11.

When the program is completed, remove the

8 key from the console.
