Enter your age.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the
word “AGE” will appear
in the display and the
current age setting will
begin to flash. If you
have already entered your age, simply press the
Start button (the program will not start at this
time). If you have not entered your age, press the
Set Pulse Rate buttons to enter your age, and
then press the Start button.
Enter a maximum speed setting.
After you have entered
your age, the letters
“SPd” will appear in the
display and the maxi
-
mum speed setting of
the program will begin to
flash. If desired, press the Set Pulse Rate buttons
to change the maximum speed setting, and then
press the Start button (the program will not start at
this time).
Press the Start button or the Speed + 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.
Each heart rate program is divided into 20 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate setting may be programmed for two
or more consecutive segments.
The target
heart rate
setting for
the first seg-
ment will be
shown in the
flashing
Current Segment column of the matrix. The target
heart rate settings for the next four segments will
be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg
-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and a
series of tones will sound. In addition, the speed
setting and the incline setting will flash in the dis
-
play to alert you. When the first segment ends,
all
target heart rate settings will move one column to
the left.
The target heart rate setting for the sec
-
ond segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column.
During each segment, the console will compare
your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the speed of the walking belt will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate. If the speed
reaches the maximum speed setting of the pro-
gram (see step 5 on this page) and your heart rate
is still too far below the current target heart rate,
the incline of the treadmill will also increase to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
The program will continue in this way until the tar-
get heart rate setting for the last segment is
shown in the Current Segment column and the
last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow
to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can adjust the
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,
each time the console compares your heart rate to
the target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of
the treadmill may automatically change to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the display and the
speed and incline of the treadmill may automati-
cally decrease. If this occurs, see the instructions
included with the optional chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Heart rate programs cannot be stopped
and then restarted. To use a
heart rate program
again, reselect the program and start it at the be-
ginning.
Follow your progress with the display.
See step 5 on page 10.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 11.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
See step 7 on page 13.
