OPERATION GUIDE
•If your heart rate is 26 beats per minute (bpm) or more below the target, there is no additional adjustment in incline. This allows for a
•If your heart rate is 3 to 25 bpm below the target, the incline increases. When you are below the target zone, a green heart flashes on the dot matrix display. This reminds you that you are below your target zone.
•If your heart rate is within 2 bpm of the target, there is no adjustment in incline. When you are within 3 bpm of the target, an orange heart flashes on the dot matrix display. This reminds you that you are in your target zone.
•If your heart rate is 3 or more bpm above the target, the incline decreases. If the treadmill reaches minimum incline and your heart rate is still above the target, a “decrease speed” message scrolls across the display. When you are above the target zone, a red heart flashes on the dot matrix display. This reminds you that you are above
your target zone.
NOTE: The treadmill gives a visual and an audible warning before a change is made to your incline.
CARDIOVASCULAR PROGRAM (P10)
This program is for those whose primary fitness goal is to improve their aerobic fitness level and to improve sports per- formance. The target heart rate is computed as:
(220-age) x 80%
For example, the cardiovascular target heart rate for a 45
If the workout is too strenuous, lower the target heart rate by pressing the INCLINE DOWN ARROW during the work- out.
The cardiovascular program keeps you at your target heart rate by doing the following:
•You will control your speed until you reach your target heart rate zone, which is + or – 3 beats per minute (bpm) of your target heart rate. When you are below the target zone, a green heart flashes on the dot matrix display.
This reminds you that you are below your target zone.
•Once the target zone of + or – 3 bpm of the target heart rate has been reached or exceeded, the heart rate control algorithm begins to control both your speed and your incline.
•If your heart rate is within 2 bpm of the target, there are no speed or incline adjustments made. When you are within 2 bpm of the target, an orange heart flashes on the dot matrix display.
This reminds you that you are in your target zone.
•If your heart rate falls below the target zone, a green heart flashes on the dot matrix display. Your speed is automatically increased by 0.2 MPH every 15 seconds until you have reached your target zone.
•If the treadmill has increased your speed by 1 MPH* and you are still not within 2 bpm of your target, the treadmill begins to raise the incline by 1% every 15 seconds.
•If your heart rate is 3 or more bpm above the target, the speed decreases by 0.2 MPH every 15 seconds until you reach your target zone. When you are above the target zone, a red heart flashes on the dot matrix display.
This reminds you that you are above your target zone.
•If the treadmill has decreased your speed by 1 MPH* and you are still not within 2 bpm of your target, the treadmill begins to decrease in incline by 1% every 15 seconds. If you are still above your target zone, lower your speed.
NOTE: The treadmill gives a visual and an audible warning before a change is made to your incline. * The treadmill will only adjust your speed by 1 MPH maximum.
