Horizon Fitness T20 Treadmill User Manual


 
QUICK SPEED KEYS
When in a program, the user is able to press any of the desired quick speed keys to get to a spe-
cific speed more quickly. NOTE: When in a speed-based program, if the user presses any of the
quick speed keys, all of the remaining speed segments in the program will be modified as well. For
example, when in P2, the first segment default speed is 2.5 mph. If the user presses the 4 mph quick
speed key, all of the remaining segments will increase by 1.5 mph as well.
CHANGING THE SPEED AND ELEVATION
When in a program, the user is able to change the difficulty of the program by pressing the plus (+)
or minus (-) buttons to the desired level. NOTE: The user is only able to increase or decrease the ele-
vation or speed during the program. When in a program, if the user increases or decreases the dif-
ficulty of speed or elevation, all of the remaining program speeds or elevation segments will be mod-
ified as well. For example, when in P2, the first segment default speed is 2.5 mph. If this speed is
increased by 1 mph, all of the remaining segments will be increased by 1mph as well.
TARGET ZONE
Your Target Zone is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zone will vary for each indi-
vidual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The American
Heart Association recommends working-out at a Target Heart Rate Zone of between 60% and 75% of
your maximum heart rate. See the chart below for convenient reference.
EXAMPLE: for a 42-year old user: find AGE along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow AGE
column up to the TARGET ZONE BAR. RESULTS: 60% of maximum Hear Rate = 108 Beats Per Minute,
75% of maximum Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.
HEART RATE HANDLEBARS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for
your heart rate to register. When griping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips
tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. It is recommended that you hold
the grip pulse handlebars only long enough to see your heart rate readout on the console. You may
experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars.
TELEMETRIC CHEST TRANSMITTER (OPTIONAL)
Prior to wearing the chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water.
Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, NOTE:
The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If
the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart
rate readout. WARNING! The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect
the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid.
NOTE: Horizon T40 MODEL ONLY.
