HEART RATE MONITOR MODE
The treadmill may at any time be used in the Heart Rate Monitor Mode. If the signal from the chest
strap is detected, heart rate BPM will be displayed in the INCLINE window. The incline will only be
briefly displayed if manual or program changes are initiated. The Heart Rate program is designed to
keep your heart at a desired amount of “beats per minute” by automatically adjusting the incline. For
example, you have programmed in a desired heart rate of 125 BPM and your heart rate is only at
110 BPM. If you are wearing the Heart Rate Transmitter correctly, the incline will automatically
increase to intensify the work load, causing your heart rate to slowly climb to 125 BPM. The tread-
mill will attempt to maintain your target heart rate through adjustments to the incline for the remain-
der of your workout. In the same respect, if your heart rate is above your programmed amount of
BPM’s, the incline will automatically decrease to lower your heart rate. You may at any time during
the Heart Rate Program adjust/override the speed and/or the incline by simply pressing the correct
corresponding button. You may also change your “Target Heart Rate” at any time by pressing the
TARGET UP or TARGET DOWN button.
