During heart rate pro-
grams, the matrix will
show a graphic that
represents your heart
rate. Each time a heart-
beat is detected, an ad-
ditional peak will ap-
pear.
Enter your age and a maximum speed setting.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the
word AGE and the
current age setting will
flash in the Calories/
Pulse display. If you
have already entered
your age, simply press the Enter Age button. If
you have not entered your age, press the
and
buttons beside the Enter Age button to enter your
age. Then, press the Enter Age button.
After you have entered
your age, the letters
SPd and the maxi-
mum speed setting of
the program will flash in
the Calories/Pulse dis-
play. If desired, press
the
and
buttons beside the Enter Age button
to adjust the maximum speed setting. When the
desired setting is shown, press the Enter Age but-
ton.
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 several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
is programmed for each segment.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the
speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the
program (see step 4 at the left) 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.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound and the Speed display
and the Distance/Incline display will flash.
The program will continue until no time remains in
the program. 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 current target heart rate, the speed and/or in-
cline 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 Calories/
Pulse display and the speed and incline of the
treadmill may automatically decrease until your
pulse is detected. If this occurs, see the instruc-
tions included with the optional chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Heart rate programs cannot be stopped
temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate
program again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.
Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 10.
Turn on the fans if desired.
See step 7 on page 11.
When the program is finished, remove the key
from the console.
