Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart rate
program, press the
Program Select button
repeatedly until one of
the two heart rate pro-
gram indicators lights.
The two profiles on the right side of the console
show how the target heart rate will change during
the programs. During heart rate program 1, your
heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your
estimated maximum heart rate;
during heart rate
program 2, your heart rate will reach approxi-
mately 90% of your
estimated maximum heart
rate.
Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated
by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if
you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum
heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 =
190).
During heart rate pro-
grams, the matrix will

detected, an additional
peak will appear.

gram will not start when the button is pressed). If
you have not entered your age, press the increase
and decrease buttons below the Calories display
to enter your age, and then press the Start button
(the program will not start when the button is
pressed).
After you have entered
your age, the letters
“SPd” and the maximum
speed setting of the pro-
gram will flash in the
Speed display. If desired,
press the increase and decrease buttons below
the Speed display to adjust the maximum speed
setting.
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.
Each heart rate program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-
grammed 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
