If you have
selected heart
rate program 12,
the letters “PLS”
and the current
target heart rate
setting will flash in
the left display. Press the – and + buttons repeat-
edly to change the target heart rate setting, if
desired. The target heart rate setting can be from
70 to 170 beats per minute.
Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the
handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must wear the
chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse
sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is
not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously
during the program. However, you should hold
the handgrips frequently for the program to oper-
ate properly. Each time you hold the hand-
grips, keep your hands on the metal contacts
for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are
not holding the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will
appear in the right display instead of your heart
rate.
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Heart rate programs 9, 10, and 11 consist of 20
one-minute segments. One resistance setting
and one target heart rate setting are pro-
grammed for each segment. (The same resis-
tance setting and/or target heart rate setting may
be programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.) During the program, the resistance of the
elliptical exerciser will periodically change. Heart
rate program 12 is 60 minutes long (you may
choose to use only part of the program). The
same resistance setting and target heart rate set-
ting are programmed for the entire program.
At the end of each segment, a series of tones will
sound. The resistance of the pedals will then
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis-
tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the
resistance by pressing the Quick Resistance but-
tons. However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next seg-
ment.
As you exercise,
the Training Zone
bar will help you to
keep your heart
rate near the cur-
rent target heart
rate setting. The lit
indicators in the
bar will show your
actual pace. When
you wear the chest
pulse sensor or
hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the console will
periodically compare your heart rate to the target
heart rate setting; if necessary, an indicator in the
bar will then flash to prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace to bring your heart rate clos-
er to the target heart rate setting. If an indicator
to the right of the lit indicators is flashing (see
drawing a), increase your pace. If an indicator to
the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see draw-
ing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is
flashing, your heart rate is near the target heart
rate setting. Important: The target heart rate
settings are intended only to provide motiva-
tion. Your actual heart rate may be slower
than the target heart rate settings. Make sure
to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for
you.
The program will continue in this way until the
left display shows that no time remains in the
program.
Note: If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the program will end. Heart
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and
then restarted.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 5 on page 14.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 15.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 8 on page 15.
