HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM CAUTION: If you have heart prob- lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the heart rate programs. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate. Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program. 1. Put on the chest pulse sensor. Note: You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a heart rate program. 2. Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 15. 3. Select one of the four heart rate programs. To select a heart rate program, press the Heart Rate Control button repeatedly. When a heart rate program is selected, the name of the program (HEART RATE: 1, HEART RATE: 2, HEART RATE: 3, or HEART RATE: 4) will appear on the screen. If heart rate program 1 is selected, a track will appear on the screen. If heart rate program 2, 3, or 4 is selected, a profile of the heart rate settings of the program will appear on the screen. The arrow below the profile will indicate your progress during the workout. 4. Enter a target heart rate setting. If heart rate program 1 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the entire program will appear on the screen beside the words "Max Target BPM" (beats per minute). If desired, press the Rate/Wt. increase and decrease buttons to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 29). If heart rate program 2, 3, or 4 is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting of the program will appear on the screen beside the words "Max Target BPM." If desired, press the Rate/Wt. increase and decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 29). Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire program will change. 5. Press the Start button to start the program. A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking. Heart rate program 1 is divided into one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments (except for the first two segments). Heart rate programs 2, 3, and 4 are divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. During each segment of the program, the console will compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for that segment. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. Each time the speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change, the speed setting and/or incline setting will flash on the screen to alert you, regardless of which display mode is selected. If heart rate program 2, 3, or 4 is selected, a series of tones will sound when the first segment of the program ends. The arrow below the program diagram will then move one position to the right. The program will continue in this way until the arrow reaches the right end of the program diagram. The walking belt will then slow to a stop. If the speed settings and/or incline settings are too high or too low, you can change the intensity level of the program at any time by pressing the Speed and Incline buttons; however, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate for the current segment, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. 21
