Heart Rate (HR) Zone Trainer Program
(requires chest strap)
The Heart Rate Zone Trainer program allows you to exercise at a selected target heart rate.
Once a heart rate control method is selected (speed or incline), the controller adjusts the
treadmill’s speed or incline to maintain the target heart rate. You must use a transmitter belt
(chest strap) to send a heart rate signal to the controller. This program does not work with
contact heart rate.
•
If the heart rate control “Incline” method is chosen, the controller will adjust the
incline to maintain the selected target heart rate. If the target heart rate has not
been met at the maximum incline, you can use the [Speed: +] key to increase
the belt speed to reach the target heart rate.
If the actual heart rate exceeds the target heart rate, the controller will reduce
the incline to slow your heart rate down. If the actual heart rate is still higher
than the target heart rate once the minimum incline has been reached, the
controller will then reduce the belt speed to slow your heart rate down.
•
If the heart rate control “Speed” method is chosen, the controller will change the
belt speed from the initial starting speed selected to maintain your target heart
rate. Incline can be changed manually.
To use the Heart Rate Zone Trainer program:
1.
Put the chest strap on. Remember to wet the electrodes underneath the chest strap.
The controller must detect a heart rate signal to allow selection of the HR Zone Trainer
program.
