HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS 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 21) to use a heart rate program. 1 Put on the chest pulse sensor. See the instructions included with the optional chest pulse sensor. 2 Insert the key fully into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 10. 3 Select a heart rate program. When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select a heart rate program, press the Select Program button repeatedly until one of the two heart rate program indicators lights. During heart rate programs, the program display will show a graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will appear. 4 Enter your age. When a heart rate program is selected, the letters AGE and the current age setting will begin to flash in the Speed display. You must enter your age to use a heart rate program. If you have already entered your age, press the Start button (pressing the Start button at this time will not start the program). If you have not entered your age, press the Age/Weight Set buttons until your age is shown. Then, press the Start button. Your age will then be saved in memory. 5 Adjust the maximum speed limit for the program. After you have entered your age, the letters SPd (speed) and the maximum speed limit for the program will flash in the Speed display. If desired, change the maximum speed limit by pressing the 1-step Speed buttons. 6 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 for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking. Each heart rate program is divided into 20, oneminute segments. (The Time/Pace 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. (The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for consecutive segments.) 14
