Spirit IN300T, IN400T Heart Rate Control

WARNING!

DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS

NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL’S DISPLAY!

All Spirit treadmills that are factory equipped with a Heart Rate Control system have many

distinct features both in the Heart Rate Control program and during heart rate monitoring.

This section will give you a more detailed background to use your treadmill in the most

effective manner.

Heart Rate Control uses your treadmill’s incline system to adjust your heart rate. Increases

and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed.

Additionally, changes in incline keep you in control of the machine’s speed instead of the

machine controlling you.

Note: Once you begin the Heart Rate Control mode by pressing the START key, you cannot

make incline adjustments by pressing the “UP” and “DOWN” keys. The computer makes all

incline adjustments for you.

You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (H-1)

program or the Cardiovascular (H-2) program. Weight Control attempts to maintain your

heart rate at 70% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Cardiovascular attempts to maintain your

heart rate at 90% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is based upon

a formula that subtracts your age from 220. Your age input is performed during the setup

mode.

Note: H-3 program allows you to set the desired target before belt movement regardless of age

input or set percentages.

The target value used in H-1 and H-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal,

healthy individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your

chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal.

Program H-3 allows the user to set the desired target and should be used if H-1 / H-2

levels do not match the user’s ability.
