message center will periodically show that
information. Finally the message center is also used

5 Distance Display
Distance is shown in miles.
The distance formula tries to
replicate miles as if the exercise was
being conducted outdoors. The distance formula will
not always be consistent with other Life Fitness
products or other manufacturer’s products. Distance
can be converted to kilometers in the settings menu.
See User Settings Section.
6 Target Heart Rate Display
Target heart rate is a
percentage of a user’s
maximum heart rate. The goal
is to target a range that enables one’s heart and lungs
to receive the most benefit from a workout. The
console calculates target heart rate by taking the
maximum heart rate (220 minus the user’s age) and
multiplying it by an intensity level. Life Fitness
intensity levels are 65% for weight loss and fat
burning and 80% for improving cardiovascular
endurance. The display will toggle between the 65%
and 80% intensity levels. An arrow pointing up or
down will illuminate to show when the user’s actual
heart rate is above or below the target heart rate.
a.Example: User’s Age is 45. 220 – 45 = 175.
175 is the Maximum Heart Rate for a 45 year
old. 175 x 65% = 114. 114 is the optimal
target heart rate for weight loss and fat burning.
7 Heart Rate Display
The heart rate display calculates
the user’s actual heart rate in
contractions or beats per
minute during a workout. The user must be holding

heart rate telemetry chest strap for the heart rate
display to function. See Getting Started: Heart Rate
Telemetry Chest Strap. Life Fitness recommends
wearing the chest strap for the most accurate heart
rate reading. If you are experiencing problems with
