OW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM
Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.
Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.
Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen-
sor to use a pulse program.
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
16.
Identify yourself as user 1 or user 2.
See step 2 on page 16.
Select one of the four pulse programs.
To select a pulse program, press the Program
button repeatedly. When a pulse program is se-
lected, the name of the program (PULSE: 1,
PULSE: 2, PULSE: 3, or PULSE: 4) will appear on
the screen.
If pulse program 1 is selected, a track will ap-
pear on the screen.
If pulse program 2, 3, or 4 is selected, a profile
of the heart rate settings of the program will ap-
pear on the screen. The arrow below the profile will
indicate your progress during the workout.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If pulse program 1 is selected, the target heart
rate setting for the entire program will appear on
the screen beside the words
TARGET BPM
(beats per minute). If desired, press the increase
and decrease buttons beside the User button to
change the target heart rate setting (see EXER
-
CISE INTENSITY on page 32).
If pulse program 2, 3, or 4 is selected,
the maxi-
m
um target heart rate setting of the program will
appear on the screen. If desired, press the in-
c
rease and decrease buttons beside the User but-
ton to change the maximum target heart rate set-
ting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 32).
Note: If you change the maximum target heart
rate setting, the intensity level of the entire pro-
gram will change.
Press the Start button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
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.
During each segment of the program, the console
will compare your heart rate to the target heart
rate setting for that segment. If your heart rate is
too far below or above the target heart rate set-
ting, the speed and/or incline will automatically in-
crease or decrease to bring your heart rate closer
to the target heart rate setting. Each time the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to
change, the speed setting and/or incline setting
will flash on the screen to alert you, regardless of
which display mode is selected.
If pulse program 2, 3, or 4 is selected, a series
of tones will sound when the first segment of the
program ends. The arrow below the program pro-
file will then move one position to the right. The
program will continue in this way until the arrow
reaches the right end of the program profile. The
walking belt will then slow to a stop.
