To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop button. The Time/Incline/Segment Time display will begin to flash. To restart the program, press the Start button or the Speed v button. To end the program, press the Stop button, remove the key, and then reinsert the key. 4 Follow your progress with the displays. See step 5 on page 11. 5 Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 6 on page 12. 6 When the program is completed, remove the key from the console. When the program has ended, make sure that the incline of the treadmill is at the lowest setting. Next, remove the key from the console and put it in a safe place. Note: If the displays and various indicators on the console remain lit after the key is removed, the console is in the "demo" mode. See page 21 and turn off the demo mode. 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 11. When you are finished using the treadmill, move the on/off circuit breaker switch near the power cord to the off position and unplug the power cord. 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 Program button repeatedly until one of the two heart rate program indicators lights. The two profiles on the left side of the console show how the target heart rate will change during the programs. The numbers above the profiles represent 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). If you are 30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50% is equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95). 14
