Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:
You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (HR-1) program or the
Cardiovascular (HR-2) program. The Weight Control program will maintain your heart rate at 60% of your
Maximum Heart Rate. The Cardiovascular program will maintain your heart rate at 80% of your Maximum
Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is based upon a formula that subtracts your age from a constant of
220. Your HR setting is automatically calculated during the setup mode when you enter your age.
CAUTION!
The target value used in HR-1 and HR-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do
not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age
value that will set a lower target goal.
CAUTION!
You must receive a strong / steady value in heart rate window or the program will not start. You must
keep your hands in contact with the pulse sensors throughout the program.
STEP 1: Press HR1 or HR2 button.
STEP 2: The Pulse window will be blinking, showing the default HR for this program. You may
adjust it and press enter if you want or just press enter to accept the default value.
STEP 3: The Calorie will now be blinking showing bodyweight. Adjust and press enter or press enter
to accept default.
STEP 4: The Pulse window will now be blinking showing age. Adjust and press enter or press enter
to accept default. Adjusting Age will change the Target HR value.
STEP 5: The Time window will now be blinking. Adjust the time and press enter.
STEP 6: Press Start to begin program.
During the program you may increase or decrease the target heart rate by pressing the
elevation/incline up or down buttons.
