To select a Pulse program, press the Programs

GRAM 1 or PULSE PROGRAM 2 appear in the

When a Pulse program is selected, the display will
show the name of the program and the maximum
target heart rate setting of the program. In addition,
a profile of the target heart rate settings of the pro
-
gram will appear in the display.
Pulse program 1 is divided into one-minute seg
-
ments. The same target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for all segments (except for the first two
segments). Pulse program 2 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.

To adjust the maximum target heart rate setting,
press the increase and decrease buttons beside
the User/Enter button (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 28). To adjust the target heart rate setting
quickly, hold down one of the buttons.
6. Press the Start button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and
begin walking.
7.
Select a display mode and monitor your
progress with the display and the training zone
bar.
When a Pulse program is selected, the console of-
fers two display modes. Press the Display button to
select the desired display mode.
Regardless of which display mode you select, a
profile of the target heart rate settings of the program
will appear in the display. A white line representing
your heartbeat will also appear; each time a heart-
beat is detected, an additional peak will appear in
the line. A small arrow below the profile will indicate
your progress.
During each one-minute segment of the program,
the console will compare your heart rate to the cur
-
rent target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is
too far below or above the target heart rate setting,
the speed of the walking belt or the incline of the
treadmill will automatically change to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
Each time the speed or incline changes, the speed
setting and the incline setting will appear at the top
of the display for a moment to alert you.
When each segment ends, a series of tones will
sound.
CAUTION: If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the Pulse pro-
g
rams. If you are taking medication regularly,
consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
