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.

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 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 in- cline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, refer to the instructions included with the optional 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.
