When the cool-down segment is completed, the walking belt will slow to a stop. After the fitness test program is completed, your fitness level will be shown in the Time display. There are ten fitness levels- fitness level 10 (FL:10) is the highest. Remember, the fitness program is intended only to indicate your relative fitness level. Note: The Speed and Incline buttons will not function while the fitness test program is selected. If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters "PLS" will flash in the Heart Rate/Calories display. If your pulse is not detected during the last thirty seconds of any 4-minute segment (after 4 minutes, after 8 minutes, etc.), the fitness test program will end and the Time display will show a fitness level of 0 (FL: 0). The fitness test program cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. However, the program can be stopped at any time by pressing the Stop button. The Time display will then show an estimated fitness level. HOW TO USE THE PULSE-DRIVEN PROGRAM The pulse-driven program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level during your workout. Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor to use the pulse-driven program (see page 24). 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-driven program. 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 the pulse-driven program. 1 Put on the chest pulse sensor. Refer to the instructions included with the chest pulse sensor to put on the chest pulse sensor. 2 Insert the key fully into the console. 6 When the program has ended, remove the key. See GETTING STARTED on page 10. Step onto the foot rails and make sure that the incline of the treadmill is at 1%. The incline must be at 1% when the treadmill is raised to the storage position. Next, remove the key from the console and put it in a secure place. Note: If the displays and indicators on the console remain lit after the key is removed, the console is in the "demo" mode. Refer to page 24 and turn off the demo mode. When you are finished using the treadmill, move the on/off switch near the power cord to the off position and unplug the power cord. 3 Select the pulse-driven program. When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be Indicator selected and the Manual indicator will light. To se- lect the pulse-driven pro- gram, press the Select Program button repeat- edly until the Pulse Driven indicator lights. When the pulse-driven program is selected, the program display will show a simplified profile of the program. 4 Enter your age. When the pulse-driven program is selected, an age setting will flash in the Incline display and the letters "AGE" will appear in the Time display. You must enter your age to use the pulse-driven program. If you have already entered your age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your age, press the Enter Age buttons to enter your age. Four seconds after the buttons are pressed, the age setting will disappear from the display. Your age will then be saved in memory. 17
