HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Heart rate programs automatically adjust the speed
and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near
a target level while you exercise. Note: You must
wear the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 25)
to use the heart rate programs.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.
To put on the chest pulse sensor, see the instruc-
tions included with the chest pulse sensor.
Insert the key fully into the console.
See GETTING STARTED on page 11.
Select a heart rate program.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be
selected. To select a heart rate program, first
press the Select Goal button repeatedly until the
words “HEART RATE” appear in the main display.
Next, press the Select Course button until the words
“PULSE DRIVEN 1” or “PULSE DRIVEN 2” appear.
During heart rate
programs, the pro-
gram display will
show a graphic that
represents your
heart rate. Each
time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak
will appear.
Enter your age and a maximum speed setting.
Three seconds after a heart rate program is se-
lected, the words “ENTER AGE” and the current
age setting will appear in the main display. You
must enter your age to use a heart rate program.
If you have already entered your age, press the
Start button (pressing the button will not start the
program at this time). If you have not entered your
age, press the Age/Weight Set buttons to enter
your age. The buttons can be held down to enter
your age quickly. Then, press the Start button.
Once you have entered your age, it will be saved
in memory.
After you have entered your age, the words
“ENTER MAX SPEED” and the maximum speed
setting of the program will appear in the main dis-
play. If desired, press the Speed buttons or the
1-step Speed buttons to change the maximum
speed setting.
