HOW TO USE PULSE PROGRAMS
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11.
Select one of the pulse programs.
When the key is
inserted, the man-
ual mode will be
selected and the
Manual indicator
will light. To select
one of the pulse
programs, press the Program button repeatedly
until one of the two pulse program indicators
lights.
The profiles on the console show how the target
heart rate will change during the pulse programs.
The numbers beside the profiles show the heart
rate range for the programs. For example, the
upper profile shows that the treadmill will keep
your heart rate at 65% to 85% of your maximum
heart rate during the first program. (Your maxi-
mum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your
age from 220. For example, if you are 25 years
old, your maximum heart rate is 195 beats per
minute.)
When a pulse pro-
gram is selected,
the program dis-
play will show a
simplified profile of
the program.
Enter your age.
When a pulse program is
selected, the letters
“AGE” will appear in the
Distance/Incline/Laps
display. You must enter
your age to use a pulse
program. If you have al-
ready entered your age,
go to step 4. If you have
not entered your age,
press the Incline buttons
to enter your age. Your
age will be shown in the Time/Segment Time dis-
play. Once you have entered your age, your
age will be saved in memory.
Put on the chest pulse monitor.
The chest pulse monitor must be worn when a
pulse program is used. See HOW TO USE THE
CHEST PULSE MONITOR on page 8. Note: A
pulse program 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.
Press the Start button.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and
begin walking.
Each pulse pro-
gram is divided into
twenty-three, one-
minute segments.
One heart rate set-
ting is programmed
for each segment.
The heart rate set-
ting for the first
segment will be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column of the program display. The
heart rate settings for the next twelve segments
will be shown in the twelve 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 heart rate settings
will move one column to the left. The heart rate
setting for the second segment will then be shown
in the flashing Current Segment column and the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati-
cally change to bring your heart rate closer to the
heart rate setting for the second segment.
If your heart rate is not detected during the pro-
gram, the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Fat
Calories/Pulse display. (See CHEST PULSE
MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING on page 8.) The
speed and/or incline of the treadmill may also de-
crease until your heart rate is detected.
