NordicTrack APEX6100 NTTL24992 - Manual (Page 18)

Enter your age.
Three seconds after the pulse-driven program is
selected, the words “ENTER AGE” and the current
age setting will appear in the main display. You
must enter your age to use the pulse-driven program.
If you have already entered your age, go to step 5.
If you have not entered your age, press the Enter
Age buttons to enter your age. The buttons can be
held down to enter your age quickly. Your age will
then be saved in memory.
Press the Start Program button or the Speed +
button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
The pulse-driven program is divided into twenty-
three time segments of different lengths. The main
display will show both the time remaining in the
program and the time remaining in the current
segment of the program. One target heart rate
setting is pro-
grammed for each
segment. The tar-
get heart rate set-
ting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column of the program display. The tar-
get heart rate settings for the next twenty-two seg-
ments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a se-
ries of tones will sound, and all target heart rate
settings will move one column to the left. The tar-
get heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column. As you exercise, the speed and/or incline
of the treadmill will automatically change as
needed to keep your heart rate near the current
target heart rate setting.
The program will continue until the target heart
rate setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and no time remains in
the program. The walking belt will then slow to a
stop.
If the speed or incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if
you decrease the speed, the incline will automati-
cally increase; if you increase the speed, the in-
cline will decrease. If you increase the incline, the
speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline,
the speed will increase. The treadmill will always
attempt to keep your heart rate near the target
heart rate setting for the current segment. Note:
When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the
speed cannot be increased any further. When the
incline reaches the highest setting, the speed can-
not be decreased any further.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the main display and
the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-
matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If
this occurs, refer to the instructions included with
the optional chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop
button. The time will begin to flash in the main dis-
play. To restart the program, press the Start
Program button or the Speed + button. To end the
program, press the Stop button, remove the key,
and then reinsert the key.
Follow your progress with the displays.
Refer to step 5 on page 11.
When the program has ended, remove the key.
See step 6 on page 13.
