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. Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 22) to use a heart rate program. 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 12. 3 Select a heart rate program. To select a heart rate program, press the Programs button repeatedly until one of the two heart rate program indicators lights. If the first heart rate program is selected, a pulse symbol will scroll across the matrix. If the second heart rate program is selected, the first eighteen target heart rate settings of the program will appear in the matrix. 4 Enter a target heart rate setting. If the first heart rate program is selected, the target heart rate setting for the entire program will flash in the display. If desired, press the Pulse increase and decrease buttons to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 27). If the second heart rate program is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting of the program will flash in the display. If desired, press the Pulse increase and decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 27). Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change. 5 Press the Start button or the Speed increase 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. The first heart rate program is divided into 40 oneminute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. (For a shorter workout, simply stop the program before it ends.) The second heart rate program 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. If the second heart rate program is selected, the Current Segment target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment col- umn of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three seconds re- main in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. 20
