HEART RATE MONITOR MODE
The treadmill may at any time be used in the Heart Rate Monitor Mode. If the signal from the
chest strap is detected, heart rate BPM will be displayed in the INCLINE window. The incline
will only be briefly displayed if manual or program changes are initiated. The Heart Rate pro-
gram is designed to keep your heart at a desired amount of “beats per minute” by automatically
adjusting the incline. For example, you have programmed in a desired heart rate of 125 BPM and
your heart rate is only at 110 BPM. If you are wearing the Heart Rate Transmitter, correctly the
incline will automatically increase to intensify the work load, causing your heart rate to slowly
climb to 125 BPM. The treadmill will attempt to maintain your target heart rate through adjust-
ments to the incline for the remainder of your workout. In the same respect, if your heart rate is
above your programmed amount of BPM’s, the incline will automatically decrease to lower your
heart rate. You may at any time during the Heart Rate Program adjust/override the speed and/or
the incline by simply pressing the correct corresponding button. You may also change your
“Target Heart Rate” at any time by pressing the TARGET UP or TARGET DOWN button.
HEART RATE PROGRAM OPERATION
Plug treadmill into a surge protector outlet. Attach the Red Safety Key on to the treadmill con-
sole.
Stand on the treadmill and straddle belt. Attach safety key clip to your clothes.
Press POWER button. Place the Heart Rate Transmitter strap across your chest and connect
ends. (Make sure your skin is moist and the strap is snug for accurate transmission). At this time,
if the display is receiving a signal from the chest strap, the incline window will begin to settle on
your current heart rate. To use HEART RATE program without the chest strap, continuously
hold the EKG grips through out the whole workout program.
Press the HEART RATE CONTROL button to enter the electronics into the Heart Rate
Program. The incline window will momentarily flash ‘125’, which is the default program target
heart rate.
The WORKOUT TIME window will blink. Use the SPEED + or – arrows to select your work-
out time. Press ENTER PROGRAM.
The SPEED window will then blink. Use the same + or – arrows to select the speed for your
workout. Press ENTER PROGRAM.
The incline window (if receiving your heart rate accurately) will show current BPM, and the small
red light labeled PULSE adjacent to the incline window, will be illuminated. (If the receiver is not
receiving an accurate reading, the incline window will be flashing - - - -).
To adjust the pre-set target heart rate press the TARGET +/TARGET– button then press the
ENTER PROGRAM button.
Press START/STOP button. Belt will begin to move after 4 seconds. Step on belt slowly after
the belt starts moving.
Press START/STOP button. Belt will begin to move after 4 seconds. Step on belt slowly after
the belt starts moving.
The small light at the top of the console labeled TARGET will be illuminated if you are at your
target. If you are not, the arrow shaped lights will illuminate and reflect if you are above or
below your goal. If you are not within 25 BPM of your “Target heart rate” the program will not
work. DO NOT STOP TO START OVER. Continue exercising and your heart rate will naturally
increase. The program will continually monitor your heart rate and periodically adjust the incline
up or down to increase or decrease the resistance thereby keeping you at your target zone. At the
conclusion of the programmed time the TIME window will flash 00:00 and the
CALORIES/DISTANCE window will continue to accumulate values. The treadmill will continue
operation until the START/STOP button or the PAUSE button is pressed. Press the POWER
button to turn off the treadmill.
