Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
5
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during a pulse program; how-
ever, you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor fre-
quently. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse
sensor, keep your hands on the metal con-
tacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: When you
are not holding the handgrip pulse sensor, the let-
ters "PLS" will appear in the display instead of
your heart rate.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
6
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
and begin walking.
Heart rate program 11 is divided into several
one-minute segments. The same target heart rate
setting is programmed for all segments. (For a
shorter workout, simply stop the program before it
ends.) Heart rate programs 12, 13, and 14 are
divided into either 20 or 30 one-minute segments.
One target heart rate setting is programmed for
each segment. Note: The same target heart rate
setting may be programmed for two or more con-
secutive segments.
If heart rate program
12, 13, or 14 is se-
lected, 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 several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right. When only three seconds re-
main in the first segment of the program, both the
Current Segment column and the column to the
right will flash and a series of tones will sound.
When the first segment ends, all target heart rate
settings will move one column to the left. The tar-
get heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.

During all heart rate programs, the console will
regularly compare your heart rate to the target
heart rate setting for the current segment. 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 set-
ting.
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,
when the console compares your heart rate to the
target heart rate setting, the speed 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 right display and
the speed of the treadmill may automatically de-
crease.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. To restart the program, press the Start but-
ton 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.
Follow your progress with the displays.
