NordicTrack Incline Trainer 9800 - Manual (Page 21)

20
Each pulse-driven program is divided into one-
minute segments. (The main display will show both
the time remaining in the program and the time re-
maining in the current segment of the program.)
One target heart rate setting is programmed for
each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE pro-
gram, the same target heart rate setting will be
programmed for all segments.)
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound
and the speed and/or incline of the INCLINE
TRAINER will change, if needed, to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting for
the next segment. The speed and/or incline setting
will flash in the main display to alert you before the
speed and/or incline changes. The program will
continue until 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 automatically increase; if you increase the
speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase
the incline, the speed will decrease; if you de-
crease the incline, the speed will increase. The
INCLINE TRAINER 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 cannot be de-
creased any further.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters PLS will flash in the main display and
the incline and speed of the INCLINE TRAINER
may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-
tected. If this occurs, refer to the instructions in-
cluded with your chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program at any time, press the STOP
button. Pulse-driven programs should not be
stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a
pulse-driven program again, reselect the program
and start it at the beginning.
Follow your progress with the main display.
Refer to step 5 on page 15.
When the program is completed, remove the
key.
Refer to step 6 on page 18.
