HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 16.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart
rate program, press
one of the three
Heart Rate buttons.
When a Heart Rate
button is pressed,
the indicator on the
button will light.
If the first heart
rate program is se-
lected, a pulse sym-
bol will appear in the
matrix.
If the second or
third heart rate
program is se-
lected, a profile of
the first several tar-
get heart rate set-
tings of the program
will appear in the matrix.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
If the first heart rate program is selected, the
target heart rate setting for the program will flash in
the Pulse display. If desired, press the increase
and decrease buttons below the Pulse display to
change the target heart rate setting (see EXER-
CISE INTENSITY on page 23). Note: The same
target heart rate setting will be programmed for all
segments.
If the second or third heart rate program is se-
lected, the maximum target heart rate setting of
the program will flash in the Pulse display. If de-
sired, press the increase and decrease buttons
below the Pulse display to change the maximum
target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTEN-
SITY on page 23). Note: If the maximum target
heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of
the entire program will change.
4. Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must wear the
chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not
necessary to hold the handgrips continuously dur-
ing the program; however, you should hold the
handgrips frequently for the program to operate
properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding
the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will flash in the
Pulse display instead of your heart rate.
5. Press the Start button to start the program.
The first heart rate program—This program is di-
vided into 100 one-minute segments. The same
target heart rate setting is programmed for all seg-
ments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising
or select a different program before the program
ends.
The second and third heart rate programs—
These programs are divided into 30 one-minute
segments. One target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate setting may be programmed for two
or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment
column of the ma-
trix. The target heart
rate settings for the next several segments 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.
