6.Press 
.
The treadmill will start at 0.5 mph. If you do not adjust either speed or grade, the treadmill will gradually increase these to raise your heart rate to your target heart rate. Depending on your condition, age, and target heart rate, this should take between 5 and 10 minutes.
You may also manually adjust speed and incline during the ramp- up to your target heart rate. For example, the 0.5 mph start speed may be too slow for you, so you can increase it to 2.0 mph for a comfortable walking pace. Do not increase either speed or incline too much, or you may overshoot your target heart rate.
Once you reach your target heart rate, the treadmill will make small adjustments during the remainder of your workout to keep you close to your target, within about 3 beats per minute.
