When a Heart Rate program is selected, the display will show the name of the program and the maximum target heart rate setting of the program. In addition, a graph of the target heart rate settings of the program will appear in the center of the display. Heart Rate program 1 is divided into one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments (except for the first two segments). Heart Rate programs 2, 3, and 4 are divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each seg- During each one-minute segment of the program, the console will compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the speed of the walking belt or the incline of the treadmill will automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. Each time the speed or incline changes, the speed setting and the incline setting will appear at the top of the display for a moment (or flash in the display, depending on which display mode is selected) to alert you. When each segment ends, a series of tones will sound. 22
