HOW TO USE PULSE-DRIVEN PROGRAMS
Pulse-driven programs automatically control the incline
and speed of the INCLINE TRAINER to keep your
heart rate near a target level while you exercise.
Follow the steps below to use a pulse-driven program.
Put on a Polar ® -compatible chest pulse sensor
(not included). Note: Using a cell phone near the
chest pulse sensor may cause a false heart rate
reading.
You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse-driven program. Refer to the instructions
included with your chest pulse sensor.
Insert the key into the console.
Refer to GETTING STARTED on page 14.
Select one of the three pulse-driven programs.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be
selected. To select one of the three pulse-driven
programs, press the PROGRAM SELECT button
repeatedly until the words CARDIO WALK
PULSE, ENDURANCE PULSE, or MANUAL
PULSE appear in the main display. Note: The
CARDIO WALK PULSE program will keep your
heart rate near 65% of your estimated maximum
heart rate (refer to step 5 at the right for an expla-
nation of your estimated maximum heart rate).
The ENDURANCE PULSE program will keep your
heart rate near 80% of your estimated maximum
heart rate. The MANUAL PULSE program will
keep your heart rate near a percentage that you
select.
When a pulse-driven program is selected, the
name of the selected program and the total pro-
gram time will scroll across the main display. The
words ENTER AGE and the current age setting
will then be shown.
During pulse-driven
programs, the matrix
will show a moving
graphic that repre-
sents your heart rate.
Each time a heart-
beat is detected, an
additional peak will appear in the graphic.
Enter your age.
You must enter your age to use a pulse-driven
program. To enter your age, press the + and – but-
tons beside the ENTER AGE button. The buttons
can be held down to enter your age quickly. The
age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is
shown, press the ENTER AGE button.
If you have selected the CARDIO WALK PULSE
or ENDURANCE PULSE program, go to step 6.
If you have selected the MANUAL PULSE pro-
gram, go to step 5.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
After you have entered your age, the words
ENTER PERCENT and the target heart rate set-
ting for the program will be shown in the main dis-
play. The target heart rate setting represents a
percentage of your estimated maximum heart
rate. Your estimated maximum heart rate is 220
minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years
old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190
beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30
years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal
to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).
If desired, you can change the target heart rate
setting by pressing the + and – buttons beside the
ENTER AGE button. The buttons can be held
down to change the target heart rate setting
quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from
50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.
Press the START button or the SPEED + button
to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the IN-
CLINE TRAINER will automatically adjust to the
first speed and incline settings for the program.
Hold the handrails and begin walking.
