Pulse programs 1 and 2 automatically control the speed
and the incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate
within a predetermined range during your workouts.
Follow the instructions below to use pulse programs 1
or 2.
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12.
Select user 1, 2, or 3.
See step 2 on page 13.
Enter your weight, your age, and a maximum
heart rate setting.
If you enter your weight into the console, the
CALS/FAT CALS display will be more accurate.
To use pulse programs 1 or 2, you must enter
your age and a maximum heart rate setting. If
you have not entered this information, see HOW
TO ENTER USER INFORMATION on page 12.
Put on the heart rate monitor.
The heart rate monitor must be worn when a pulse
program is used. (See HOW TO USE THE HEART
RATE MONITOR on page 7.) Note: A pulse pro-
gram can be started without a heart rate reading;
however, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
will automatically decrease if your heart rate is not
detected during the program.
Select the desired program.
When the key is inserted,
the MANUAL mode will
be selected. To select
pulse program 1 or 2,
press the MODE button
repeatedly until the pulse
program 1 or 2 indicator lights. The first nineteen
settings of the program you have selected will
appear in the LED matrix (the function of the LED
matrix will be explained later).
Press the START button or the SPEED + button
to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and
carefully begin walking.
Pulse programs 1 and 2 consist of thirty, one-
minute periods. One heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for each period. The heart rate settings
will be shown
in the LED
matrix. The
heart rate set-
ting of the first
period will be
shown in the
flashing
CURRENT
PERIOD
column. The
settings of the
next eighteen periods will be shown in the eighteen
columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period,
both the CURRENT PERIOD column and the
column to the right will flash and three tones will
sound. All heart rate settings will then move one
column to the left. The setting of the second period
will then be shown in the CURRENT PERIOD
column.
As the program progresses, the speed and/or
incline of the treadmill will change at any time to
keep your heart rate near the setting shown in the
CURRENT PERIOD column. The program will
continue until the heart rate setting of the last pe-
riod is shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column
and the TIME display counts down to zero. The
walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If your heart rate is not detected during the program,
the letters ÒPLSÓ will flash in the PULSE display
and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will
automatically decrease. (See HEART RATE
MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING on page 7.)
While the program is in progress, minor adjust-
ments can be made to the speed or incline of the
treadmill with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.
However, if you increase the speed, the incline will
automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed,
the incline will increase. If you increase the incline,
the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline,
the speed will increase. The console will always
attempt to keep your heart rate near the heart rate
setting shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column.
Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting,
the speed cannot be increased any further. When
the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed
cannot be decreased any further.
