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. 4 Enter your age. When a heart rate program is selected, the word "AgE" will appear in the left display and the current age setting will begin to flash. If you have already entered your age, simply press the Enter button. If you have not entered your age, press the + or - button beside the Enter button to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program. Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 24) to use a heart rate program. While using the chest pulse sensor, do not use the handgrip pulse sensor. 1 Put on the optional chest pulse sensor. See the instructions included with the optional chest pulse sensor. 2 Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11. 5 Enter a maximum speed setting. After you have entered your age, the letters "SPd" will appear in the left display and the maximum speed setting of the program will begin to flash. If desired, press the + or - button beside the Enter button to adjust the maximum speed setting. When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button. 3 Select a heart rate program. To select a heart rate program, press the Heart Rate Control Programs button repeatedly until "H1" or "H2" appears in the right display. During the 85% Max program, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate. During the Self Select program, your heart rate will remain near a level that you select. Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 - 30 = 190). If the 85% Max program is selected, go to step 7. If the Self Select program is selected, go to step 6. 6 Enter a target heart rate. The letters "PLS" will appear in the left display and the target heart rate setting for the program will begin to flash. If desired, press the + or - button beside the Enter button to adjust the target heart rate setting. When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button. 17
