HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings during your workout.

To use a heart rate program, you must wear the chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sen- sor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously dur- ing the program; however, you should hold the handgrips frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hold- ing the handgrips, the letters PLS will flash in the Heart Rate display instead of your heart rate.
5Press the Start button to start the program. Heart rate program 1 is divided into 30 one- minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.

If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the profile in the matrix will change to show the new target heart rate settings.
If heart rate program 2 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the entire program will flash in the Heart Rate display. If desired, press the in- crease and decrease buttons above the Set Heart Rate indicator to change the target heart rate set- ting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 20).
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a se- ries of tones will sound, and all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The tar- get heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.
Heart rate program 2 is divided into 40 one- minute segments. The same target heart rate set- ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ- ent program before the program ends.
