WARM UP STAGE

The treadmill will operate like it would in MAN- UAL mode. By controlling speed and grade yourself, you allow warm up at your own pace. The Grade may not exceed your pre-set maxi- mum grade set during heart rate programming. Gradually increase the speed or incline grade or both to get within 10 beats of your heart rate tar- get.

You may use the One Touch Speed and/or In- cline buttons to perform the gradual increase.

Note: Warming up too fast may cause you to overshoot your target. If this occurs, it may take several minutes for the computer to start interac- tivity.

When your heart rate is within 15 beats from the target, the information window will read:
