Enter your age.

When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the
letters “AGE” and the
current age setting will
begin to flash in the
Speed display. You
must enter your age to use a heart rate program. If
you have already entered your age, press the Start
button (pressing the Start button at this time will
not start the program). If you have not entered
your age, press the Age/Weight Set buttons until
your age is shown. Then, press the Start button.
Your age will then be saved in memory.

Adjust the maximum speed limit for the
program.

After you have entered
your age, the letters
“SPd” (speed) and the
maximum speed limit
for the program will
flash in the Speed dis-
play. If desired, change the maximum speed limit
by pressing the Speed buttons.

Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.

Each heart rate program is divided into 20 one-
minute segments. (The Time/Pace display will
show both the time remaining in the program and
the time remaining in the current segment of the
program.) One target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for each segment. (The same target
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.)

During the program, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or
above the target heart rate setting, the speed of

the treadmill will automatically increase or de-
crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi-
mum speed limit for the program (see step 5 at
the left) 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 until no time remains in
the program. The walking belt will then slow to a
stop.

If the current speed or incline setting is too high or
too low, you can adjust the setting with the Speed
or Incline buttons. However, each time the con-
sole compares your heart rate to the current 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 Incline/Heart Rate
display and the speed and incline of the treadmill
may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-
tected. If this occurs, see the instructions included
with the chest pulse sensor.

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Heart rate programs should not be stopped
temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate
program again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.

Follow your progress with the displays.
