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 the heart rate programs. Note: You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use the heart rate programs. 1 Put on the chest pulse sensor. Refer to the instructions on page 8. 2 Insert the key fully into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11. 3 Select a heart rate program. When the key is inserted, the Preset Program manual mode will be selected. To select one of the heart rate programs, press the mode User-definable Program button repeat- edly until one of the two heart rate program indicators lights. When the lower indicator is lit, the user-definable heart rate program is selected. When the upper indica- tor is lit, the preset heart rate program is selected. The two profiles on the left side of the console show the target heart rate settings for the programs. The numbers above the upper profile are percentages of your estimated maximum heart rate. Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is determined by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 - 30 = 190). The user-definable program will last for 40 minutes. The preset program will last for 20 minutes. 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 calories/ watts/heart rate display. You must enter your age to use a heart rate program. If you have not entered your age, press the incline buttons to enter your age. Your age will then be saved in memory. If the user-definable program is selected, go to step 5. If the preset program is selected, go to step 6. 5 Enter a target heart rate setting. Press the start button (pressing the button will not start the program at this time). The letters PLS and the target heart rate setting for the program, in beats per minute, will be shown in the calories/watts/heart rate display. If desired, you can change the target heart rate setting by pressing the incline buttons. The buttons can be held down to change the target heart rate setting quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from 50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate. For example, if you are 30 years old, the target heart rate setting can be from 95 to 161 beats per minute. (If you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190. 50% of 190 is 95. 85% of 190 is 161.) 6 Adjust the maximum speed limit for the program. When a heart rate program is selected, the letters SPd (speed) and the maximum speed limit for the program will flash in the speed/pace display. If desired, change the maximum speed limit by pressing the Quick Speed buttons. 14
