HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 19) to use a heart rate pro-
gram. While using the chest pulse sensor, do
not use the handgrip pulse sensor.
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 10.
Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart rate program, press the Heart
Rate Control Programs button repeatedly until
“P-7” or “P-8” appears in the right display.
If heart rate program 7 is selected, a pulse sym-
bol will scroll across the matrix in the left display.
If heart rate program 8 is selected, the matrix in
the left display will show the first several target
heart rate settings of the program.
Note: During heart rate program 7, your heart rate
will remain near a target heart rate setting that
you select
. During heart rate program 8, your
heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your
age-predicted maximum heart rate.
Note: Your age-predicted maximum heart rate is
calculated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your age-pre-
dicted maximum heart rate is 190 beats per
minute (220 – 30 = 190).
Enter a target heart rate setting for the program.
If heart rate program 7 is selected, the letters
“PLS” and the target heart rate setting for the pro-
gram will begin to flash in the right display. If de-
sired, change the target heart rate setting by
pressing the + or – button beside the Enter button
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). Then,
press the Enter button.
If heart rate program 8 is selected, the letters
“PLS” and the maximum target heart rate setting
for the program will begin to flash in the right dis-
play. If desired, change the maximum target heart
rate setting by pressing the + or – button beside
the Enter button
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on
page 24). Then, press the Enter button. Note: If
the maximum target heart rate setting is changed,
the intensity level of the entire program will
change.
Enter your age.
The word “AGE” and the current age setting will
then begin to flash in the right display. If you have
already entered your age, press the Enter button.
If you have not entered your age, press the + or –
button beside the Enter button to enter your age,
and then press the Enter button.

the medication will affect your exercise heart
rate.
