7 Press the Start button or the Speed + button to start the program. A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking. Each heart rate program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. One target heart rate is programmed for each segment. Note: If the Self Select program is selected, the same target heart rate is programmed for all segments. During each segment, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the program (see step 5 on page 16) and your heart rate is still too far below the current target heart rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. During the last three seconds of each segment, a series of tones will sound and the Speed display and the Incline display will flash. The program will continue until the last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop. If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low at any time during the program, you can adjust the setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, each time the console compares your heart rate to the current target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters "PLS" will flash in the Heart Rate display and the speed and incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9. To stop the program, press the Stop button. Heart rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning. 8 Follow your progress with the displays. See step 5 on page 12. Note: During heart rate programs, the display above the Heart Rate display will show your heart rate as a percentage of your estimated maximum heart rate. 9 Turn on the fan if desired. See step 7 on page 13. 10 When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console. See step 7 on page 15. 17
