Each pulse-driven program is divided into one-
minute segments. (The main display will show both
the time remaining in the program and the time re-
maining in the current segment of the program.)
One target heart rate setting is programmed for
each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE pro-
gram, the same target heart rate setting will be
programmed for all segments.)

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound
and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting for the next
segment. The speed and/or incline setting will flash
in the main display to alert you before the speed
and/or incline changes. The program will continue
until no time remains in the program. The walking
belt will then slow to a stop.

If the speed and incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.
However, if you decrease the speed, the incline
will automatically increase; if you increase the
speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase
the incline, the speed will decrease; if you de-
crease the incline, the speed will increase. The
treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart
rate near the target heart rate setting for the cur-
rent segment. Note: When the incline reaches the
lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any
further. When the incline reaches the highest set-
ting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.

If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters PLS will flash in the main display and
the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-
matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If
this occurs, refer to the instructions included with
your chest pulse sensor.

To stop the program at any time, press the STOP
button. Pulse-driven programs should not be
stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a
pulse-driven program again, reselect the program
and start it at the beginning.

Follow your progress with the main display.

Refer to step 5 on page 15.

When the program is completed, remove the
key.

Refer to step 6 on page 18.
