The first heart rate program is divided into 40 one-

ting is programmed for all segments. (For a
shorter workout, simply stop the program before it
ends.) The second heart rate program is divided
into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart
rate setting is programmed for each segment.
Note: The same target heart rate setting may be
programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.
If the second heart rate
program is selected, the
target heart rate setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the matrix. The
target heart rate settings
for the next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right. When only three seconds re-
main in the first segment of the program, both the
Current Segment column and the column to the
right will flash and a series of tones will sound.
