HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM 1. Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 16. 2. Select a heart rate program. To select a heart rate program, press one of the three Heart Rate buttons. When a Heart Rate button is pressed, the indicator on the button will light. 4. Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the handgrip pulse sensor. To use a heart rate program, you must wear the chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously during the program; however, you should hold the handgrips frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the letters "PLS" will flash in the Pulse display instead of your heart rate. 5. Press the Start button to start the program. If the first heart rate program is selected, a pulse symbol will appear in the matrix. The first heart rate program-This program is divided into 100 one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different program before the program ends. If the second or third heart rate program is selected, a profile of the first several target heart rate settings of the program will appear in the matrix. 3. Enter a target heart rate setting. If the first heart rate program is selected, the target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the Pulse display. If desired, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Pulse display to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23). Note: The same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all segments. If the second or third heart rate program is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting of the program will flash in the Pulse display. If desired, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Pulse display to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23). Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change. The second and third heart rate programs- These programs are 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. The target heart rate setting for the first Current Segment segment will be shown in the flash- ing Current Segment column of the ma- trix. The target heart rate settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column. 20
