Once the ‘THR Zone’ quick program key is selected, wait for 5 seconds and you
will see the target heart rate flashing in the Heart Rate window. Using the chart on
page 14, determine your target heart rate. Your target heart rate should be set at
a number that you will be able to exercise at throughout the majority of your work-
out. To adjust the target heart rate, press the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons.
Once you have chosen your target heart rate, wait for five seconds and you will see
the time flashing in the Time window. Press the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons to
adjust your time. Once you choose your time, press the 'Start' button and begin
your workout.
The ‘THR Zone’ program will have a 5 minute warm up time before it will get you
in your ‘target heart rate zone’.
After the 5 minute warm up period, the resistance level will increase gradually to
get the user to the entered ‘target heart rate zone’. Once the user is at the ‘target
heart rate zone’, plus or minus 5 beats, the resistance level will remain at the cur-
rent resistance level.
The last 5 minutes of the program will begin the cool down period. At this time,
the program will gradually decrease the resistance level to give the
user a smooth cool down.
NOTE: The Chest Strap Transmitter is required to use the ‘THR Zone’ program.
