If the HILL or
INTERVAL program is
selected, the PULSE
display will show the
maximum heart rate
setting of the program,
in beats per minute. The LED matrix will show the
maximum heart rate setting as a percentage of your
maximum
possible
heart rate.
(Your
maximum
possible
heart rate is
220 minus
your age).
If the HILL or INTERVAL program is selected, go
directly to step 8. If the SELF SELECT program is
selected, go to step 7.
Select a heart rate setting.
If the SELF SELECT program is selected, your
heart rate will be kept near a setting that you
choose. Press the START/ENTER button. The
PULSE display will show the current heart rate
setting of the program, in beats per minute (see the
drawing at the top of this page). The LED matrix will
show the current heart rate setting as a percentage
of your maximum possible heart rate (see the
drawing above). (Your maximum possible heart rate
is 220 minus your age). If desired, you can change
the percentage shown in the LED matrix by
pressing the HEART RATE buttons. Each time
one of the buttons is pressed, the percentage will
change by 5%. The percentage can be from 60% to
85%. As the percentage is changed, the heart rate
setting shown in the PULSE display will also change.
Press the START/ENTER button or the SPEED
Ò+Ó button to start the program.
When the program is started, the SPEED display
will flash and a tone will sound twice. If the incline of
the treadmill is higher than 1.5%, it will automatically
decrease to 1.5%. After a moment, the walking belt
will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
As you
exercise,
the LED
matrix will
display
two
numbers.
The
number on the left is the current target heart rate
setting; the number on the right is your actual heart
rate. (The numbers are percentages of your
maximum possible heart rate). At the end of each
one-minute period of the program, a tone will sound
and the console will compare your actual heart rate
to the target heart rate. If your actual heart rate is
higher or lower than the target heart rate by 5% or
more, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will
automatically change to bring your heart rate closer
to the target heart rate.
The TIME/PACE display will show the time remaining
in the program. Near the end of the program, the
walking belt will slow to allow you to cool down.
During the last ten seconds of the program, the
incline will decrease to 1.5%. When no time remains
in the TIME/PACE display, the walking belt will slow
to a stop.
If your heart rate is not detected during a HEART
RATE program, the letters ÒPLSÓ will flash in the
PULSE display. (See Heart Rate Monitor Trouble-
shooting on page 8.) The speed and/or incline of the
treadmill may also automatically decrease until your
heart rate is detected.
To stop a HEART RATE program momentarily,
press the STOP button. The displays will pause and
the TIME/PACE display will begin to flash. To
restart the program, press the START/ENTER
button or the SPEED Ò+Ó button. To end the program
and reset the displays, hold down the STOP button
for two seconds.
Note: Minor adjustments can be made to the speed
or incline of the treadmill during a HEART RATE
program with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.
However, if you increase the speed, the incline will
automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed,
the incline will increase. If you increase the incline,
the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline,
the speed will increase. The console will always
attempt to keep your heart rate near the target heart
rate setting. When the incline reaches the lowest
setting, the speed cannot be increased any further.
When the incline reaches the highest setting, the
speed cannot be decreased any further.
