HOW TO USE A PULSE 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 pulse 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 pulse program. 1 Put on the optional chest pulse sensor. You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor to use a pulse program. 2 Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12. 3 Select one of the pulse programs. To select a pulse program, press either of the pulse program buttons (see the drawing on page 11); "PLS1" or "PLS2" will appear in the priority display for a few seconds. If pulse program 1 is selected, a profile of the target heart rate settings of the program will scroll across the matrix. If pulse program 2 is selected, a pulse symbol will scroll across the matrix (see the drawing above). 4 Enter a target heart rate setting. If pulse program 1 is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting of the program will flash in the display. If desired, press the Heart Rate increase and decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change. If pulse program 2 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the entire program will flash in the display. If desired, press the Heart Rate increase and decrease buttons to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). 5 Press the Start button or the Speed + 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. Pulse program 1 is 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. Pulse program 2 is divided into 40 one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. (For a shorter workout, simply stop the program before it ends.) If pulse program 1 is selected, the target Current heart rate setting for the Segment first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment col- umn of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next several seg- ments 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 and a series of tones will sound. 17
