Heart Rate Control Program (HRC) and Weight Loss Program
The Heart Rate Control and Weight Loss Program allows you to exercise at a predetermined heart rate level. By selecting the
desired heart rate level (Weight Loss in Weight Loss program), the running belt and elevation will automatically adjust to
decrease or increase the exercise intensity.
By selecting your age, plus the intensity level that you want to work your heart at (Only HRC), a target heart rate level is
calculated by the computer.
NOTE – This program can only be used with the optional heart rate chest strap available from your Authorized Bodyguard
®
Dealer. Use of the heart rate chest strap will allow the treadmill belt to change speed along with a change in elevation. To
achieve optimal results, it is recommended to place the chest strap directly over the skin. The strap should be very snug since
any significant amount of shock or impact due to fast running may temporarily produce wrong heart rate signals. You should
not be more than arm’s length from the front handle bar to achieve the best signal. If at anytime the heart rate receiver does
not detect a signal from the chest strap for more that a few seconds, the following message will appear ‘‘UNSTABLE HR
SIGNAL PLEASE CHECK CHEST STRAP’’.

physician prior to using this equipment. It is recommended to periodically consult your physician as you continue to use this
equipment. Immediately cease exercise if you feel dizzy, faint or short of breath. Use of this equipment in a manner other
than as prescribed by these instructions herewith may result in serious injury.

elevation to compensate for the change in speed or elevation you made by gradually bringing your ACTUAL heart rate near
the TARGET heart rate level.
WARNING – If you feel that the running belt is moving too fast for your fitness level and you cannot keep up, press the
CLEAR/STOP key and terminate the exercise program. You can try the program again, but at a lower INTENSITY level
(60%). If this is still too fast for you, do not use the Heart Rate Control program until your fitness level allows you to
safely exercise at your TARGET heart rate level.
