HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near target heart rate settings during your work-
out.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 15.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart rate program, press the Quick
Programs button numbered 1 or 2.
If heart rate program 1 is selected, a profile of
the target heart rate settings of the program will
scroll across the matrix.
If heart rate pro-
gram 2 is selected,
a pulse graphic will
appear in the matrix.
Each time a heart-
beat is detected
while you are using
the chest pulse sen-
sor or the handgrip pulse sensor, a peak will ap-
pear in the pulse graphic.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
If heart rate pro-
gram 1 is selected,
the maximum target
heart rate setting of
the program will
flash in the Heart
Rate display. If de-
sired, press the increase and decrease buttons
above the Set Heart Rate indicator to change the
maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 21). If you change the maxi-
mum target heart rate setting, the profile in the ma-
trix will change to show the new target heart rate
settings.
If heart rate program 2 is selected, the target
heart rate setting for the entire program will flash in
the Heart Rate display. If desired, press the in-
crease and decrease buttons above the Set Heart
Rate indicator to change the target heart rate set-
ting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 21).
4. Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must wear the
chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not
necessary to hold the handgrips continuously dur-
ing the program; however, you should hold the
handgrips frequently for the program to operate
properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding
the handgrips, the letters PLS will flash in the Heart
Rate display instead of your heart rate.
5. Press the Start button to start the program.
Heart rate program 1 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment
column of the ma-
trix. The target heart
rate settings for the
next twelve seg-
ments 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, a se-
ries of tones will sound, and
all target heart rate
settings will move one column to the left.
The tar-
get heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.
Heart rate program 2 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-
ent program before the program ends.
