Each pulse-driven program is divided into oneminute segments. (The main display will show both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment of the program.) One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE program, the same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all segments.) HOW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAM The fitness test program measures your relative fitness level. For the best results, the program should be used at a time when your energy level is high; the program should not be used if you have already exercised during the day. Follow the steps below to use the program. When only three seconds remain in the first segment 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. 1 Put on a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor (not included). You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use the fitness test program. See the instructions included with your chest pulse sensor. 2 Insert the key into the console. See GETTING STARTED on page 14. If the speed or incline setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can adjust the setting 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 decrease 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 decreased 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 detected. If this occurs, see the instructions included 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. 7 Follow your progress with the main display. See step 5 on page 15. 8 When the program is completed, remove the key. 3 Select the fitness test program. When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select the fitness test program, press the PROGRAM SELECT button repeatedly until the words FITNESS TEST appear in the main display. When the fitness test program is selected, the words FITNESS TEST will scroll across the main display. The words ENTER AGE and the current age setting will then be shown. During fitness test program, the matrix will show a moving graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will appear in the graphic. 4 Enter your age. You must enter your age to use the fitness test program. To enter your age, see step 4 on page 19. See step 6 on page 18. 20
