WARNING!
DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS

Special Operations of Heart Rate Functions:
All Spirit treadmills that are factory equipped with a Heart Rate Control system have
many distinct features both in the Heart Rate Control program and during heart rate
monitoring. This section will give you a more detailed background to use your treadmill
in the most effective manner.
How the Heart Rate Control Program Works:
Heart Rate Control uses your treadmill's incline system to adjust your heart rate.
Increases and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than
changes in speed. Additionally, changes in incline keep you in control of the machine's
speed instead of the machine controlling you.
Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:
You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (H-1)
program or the Cardiovascular (H-2) program. Weight Control attempts to maintain your
heart rate at 70% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Cardiovascular attempts to maintain
your heart rate at 90% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is
based upon a formula that subtracts your age from 220. Your age input is performed
during the setup mode.
CAUTION!
The target value used in H-1 and H-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal,
healthy individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain
your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower
target goal.
