Warm-up Stage Instructions: The treadmill
will operate as if in the manual mode during
the warm up stage so you can control both
speed and grade. It is important that you
start at a low level of perceived exertion and
gradually increase your work load over
several minutes until you approach your
target heart rate. This allows your body to
adapt to your workout. Increasing work load
gradually will allow you to enter the heart rate
control stage without overshooting your
target.

If this occurs it may
take several minutes before the computer
software can control your heart rate. You may
overshoot and undershoot your target for
several minutes until control is achieved. Wear
the heart rate transmitter provided with your
treadmill directly against the skin 1-2 inches
below the pectoral muscles/breast line.
Initially the transmission signal for heart rate
may be erratic or non existent. Perspiration on
your skin is necessary for proper
transmission. The Heart ( ) LED will flash,
showing that the heart rate signal is received.
