5 Press the Start button or the Speed increase 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 pulse control program is divided into 20 oneminute segments. One target heart rate is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. The target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next four segments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three sec- onds remain in the first segment of Current Segment the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. In addition, the speed setting and the incline setting will flash in the display to alert you. When the first segment ends, all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column. During each segment, the console will compare your heart rate to the 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 will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If the speed of the walking belt reaches 7.5 mph and your heart rate is still too far below the current target heart rate setting, the incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. The program will continue in this way until the target heart rate setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column and 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 target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters "PLS" will flash in the display and the speed and incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease. If this occurs, see the instructions included with the optional chest pulse sensor. To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button. To restart the program, press the Start button or the Speed increase button. The walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph. When the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. 6 Follow your progress with the display. See step 5 on page 13. 7 Turn on the fan if desired. See step 7 on page 14. 8 When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console. See step 8 on page 14. 17
