WARM-UP STAGE

Warm-up Stage Instructions: The treadmill will operate as if in the manual mode during the warm up stage so you can control both speed and grade. It is important that you start at a low level of perceived exertion and gradually increase your work load over several minutes until you approach your target heart rate. This allows your body to adapt to your workout. Increasing work load gradually will allow you to enter the heart rate control stage without overshooting your target.

NOTE: Warming up too fast may cause you to overshoot your target. If this occurs it may take several minutes before the computer software can control your heart rate. You may overshoot and undershoot your target for several minutes until control is achieved. Wear the heart rate transmitter provided with your treadmilldirectlyagainsttheskin1-2inches below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Initially the transmission signal for heart rate may be erratic or non existent. Perspiration on your skin is necessary for proper transmission. The Heart ( ) LED will flash, showing that the heart rate signal is received.

NOTE: If while you are warming up you feel that your selected target is too high or too low, you can edit your target to a new value as follows:

Press (The target value message will
