Select a Pulse program.
To select a Pulse program, press the Cardio but-
ton repeatedly until you reach the Pulse pro-
grams.
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 addi-
tion, a profile of the target heart rate settings of
the program 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 programs 2, 3, and 4 are di
-
vided into 30 one-minute segments. One target
heart rate setting is programmed for each seg
-
ment. Note: The same target heart rate setting
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.
Adjust the maximum target heart rate setting if
desired.
To adjust the maximum target heart rate setting,
p
ress the Data Entry increase and decrease but-
tons beside the Enter button (see EXERCISE IN-
TENSITY on page 29). To adjust the target heart
rate setting quickly, hold down one of the buttons.
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.
Select a display mode and monitor your
progress with the display.
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 pro-
gram will appear in the display. A white line repre-
senting your heartbeat will also appear; each time a
heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will ap-
pear 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
current target heart rate setting. If your heart rate
is too far below or above the target heart rate set
-
ting, 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 set-
ting. 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.
