HOW TO USE A PULSE CONTROL PROGRAM
Pulse control program 2 will automatically adjust the
speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate
near a target heart rate setting that you select. Pulse
control program 3 will keep your heart rate within a pre-
set range.
Follow the steps below to use a pulse control program.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a

When pulse
control pro-
gram 2 is
selected, a
heart sym-
bol will ap-
pear in the
matrix in the lower part of the display.
When pulse

gram 3 is
selected,
the matrix
will show
the first
seven target heart rate settings of the program.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If pulse control pro-
gram 2 is selected, the
target heart rate setting
for the program will
flash in the display. If
desired, press the
Incline increase or decrease button to change the
target heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTEN-
SITY on page 29). Note: The same target heart
rate setting will be programmed for the entire pro-
gram.
If pulse control program 3 is selected, the max-
imum target heart rate setting of the program will
flash in the display (see the drawing above). If de-
sired, press the Incline increase or decrease but-
ton to change the maximum target heart rate set-
ting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 29).
Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is
increased or decreased, the intensity level of the
entire program will increase or decrease.
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 of the program. Hold the handrails

Pulse control program 2 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. (Note: For a
shorter workout, simply stop the program before it
ends.) Pulse control program 3 is divided into 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for each segment. Note: The
same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.
If pulse con-
trol program
3 is selected,
the target
heart rate
setting for
the first seg-
ment 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.
