NordicTrack APEX6100 NTTL24992 - Manual (Page 17)

At the beginning of each four-minute level, the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati-
cally increase. The fitness test program will con-
tinue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70%
of your estimated maximum heart rate, and the
current four-minute level is completed. The fitness
test program will then be completed, regardless of
how many levels remain.
When the fitness test
program is completed,
the letter “C” will appear
in the main display and
a two-minute cool-down
period will begun. The
incline will then adjust to 1% and the speed will de-
crease.
When the cool-down period is completed, the
walking belt will slow to a stop. After the fitness
test program is com-
pleted, your fitness
level will be shown in
the main display. There
are ten fitness levels—
fitness level 10 (FL:10)
is the highest. Remem-
ber, the fitness program is intended only to indi-
cate your relative fitness level.
Note: The Speed and Incline buttons will not
function while the fitness test program is selected. If
your pulse is not detected during the program, the
letters “PLS” will flash in the main display. If your
pulse is not detected during the last thirty seconds
of any four-minute level (after four minutes, after
eight minutes, etc.), the fitness test program will
end and the main display will show a fitness level
of 0 (FL: 0).
The fitness test program cannot be stopped tem-
porarily and then restarted. However, the program
can be stopped at any time by pressing the Stop
button. The main display will then show an esti-
mated fitness level.
When the program has ended, remove the key.
See step 6 on page 13.
HOW TO USE THE PULSE-DRIVEN PROGRAM
The pulse-driven program automatically adjusts the
speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart
rate near a target level during your workout. Note: You
must wear the optional chest pulse sensor to use
the pulse-driven program (see page 24).
Follow the steps below to use the pulse-driven program.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
Refer to the instructions included with the chest
pulse sensor to put on the chest pulse sensor.
Insert the key fully into the console.
See GETTING STARTED on page 10.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will
automatically be selected. To select the pulse-
driven program, first press the Select Workout
Goal button repeatedly until the words “HEART
RATE” appear in the main display.
