Press the start button or the speed
7
start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed set-
ting for the program. Hold the handrails and begin
walking.
If the user-definable program is selected, the
time/incline display will show the elapsed time. If the
preset program is selected, the time/incline display
will show the time remaining in the program and the
time remaining in the current segment of the pro-
gram.
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 6 on
page 14) 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 speed or incline setting is too high or too
button to
low, you can adjust the setting with the speed or
incline buttons. However, each time the console
compares your heart rate to the current target
heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline of the
treadmill may automatically increase or decrease
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 calories/watts/heart
rate display and the speed and incline of the
treadmill may automatically decrease until your
pulse is detected. If this occurs, refer to the instruc-
tions on page 8.
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.
