If you have selected heart rate program 8, the letters "PLS" and the current target heart rate setting will flash in the left display. Press the - and + buttons repeatedly to change the target heart rate setting, if desired. The target heart rate setting can be from 70 to 170 beats per minute. 4 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor. To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 6 on page 13) or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously during 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 appear in the right display instead of your heart rate. 5 Press the Start button or begin pedaling to start the program. Heart rate program 7 consists of 20 one-minute segments. One resistance setting and one target heart rate setting are programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting and/or target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.) During the program, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will periodically change. Heart rate program 8 is 60 minutes long (you may choose to use only part of the program). The same resistance setting and target heart rate setting are programmed for the entire program. At the end of each segment, a series of tones will sound. The resistance of the pedals will then change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next segment. Note: If the resistance is too high or too low, you can adjust the resistance by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next segment. As you exercise, a the Training Zone bar will help you to keep your heart rate near the cur- rent target heart rate setting. The lit indicators in the b bar will show your actual pace. When you wear the chest pulse sensor or hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the console will periodically com- pare your heart rate to the target heart rate set- ting; if necessary, an indicator in the bar will then flash to prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If an indicator to the right of the lit indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase your pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash- ing, your heart rate is near the target heart rate setting. Important: The target heart rate set- tings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual heart rate may be slower than the target heart rate settings. Make sure to exer- cise at a pace that is comfortable for you. The program will continue in this way until the left display shows that no time remains in the program. Note: If you stop pedalling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will end. Heart rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. 6 Monitor your progress with the two displays. See step 5 on page 12. 7 Turn on the fan if desired. See step 7 on page 13. 8 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. See step 8 on page 13. 16
