HOW TO USE PULSE-DRIVEN PROGRAMS
Pulse-driven programs automatically control the incline
and speed of the INCLINE TRAINER to keep your
heart rate near a target level while you exercise.
Follow the steps below to use a pulse-driven program.
Put on a Polar
-compatible chest pulse sensor

(not included).
You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse-driven program. Refer to the instructions
included with your chest pulse sensor.

Refer to GETTING STARTED on page 14.
Select one of the three pulse-driven programs.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be
selected. To select one of the three pulse-driven
programs, press the MODE button repeatedly until
the words MOAB RIM PULSE, SLICKROCK
TRAIL PULSE, or MANUAL PULSE appear in the
main display. Note: The MOAB RIM PULSE pro-
gram will keep your heart rate near 65% of your
estimated maximum heart rate (refer to step 5 at
the right for an explanation of your estimated max-
imum heart rate). The SLICKROCK TRAIL
PULSE program will keep your heart rate near
80% of your estimated maximum heart rate. The
MANUAL PULSE program will keep your heart
rate near a percentage that you select.
When a pulse-driven program is selected, the
name of the selected program and the total pro-
gram time will scroll across the main display. The
words ENTER AGE and the current age setting
will then be shown.
During pulse-driven
programs, the matrix
will show a moving
graphic that repre-
sents your heart rate.
Each time a heart-
beat is detected, an
additional peak will appear in the graphic.
Enter your age.

You must enter your age to use a pulse-driven
program. To enter your age, press the + and – but-
tons beside the ENTER AGE/WT button. The but-
tons can be held down to enter your age quickly.
The age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is
shown, press the ENTER AGE/WT button.
If you have selected the MOAB RIM PULSE or
SLICKROCK TRAIL PULSE program, go to
step 6. If you have selected the MANUAL
PULSE program, go to step 5.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
5
After you have entered your age, the words
ENTER PERCENT and the target heart rate set-
ting for the program will be shown in the main dis-
play. The target heart rate setting represents a
percentage of your estimated maximum heart
rate . Your estimated maximum heart rate is 220
minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years
old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190
beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30
years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal
to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).
If desired, you can change the target heart rate
setting by pressing the + and – buttons beside the
ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held
down to change the target heart rate setting
quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from
50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.
Press the START button or the SPEED + button
6
to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the IN-
CLINE TRAINER will automatically adjust to the
first incline and speed settings for the program.
Hold the handrails and begin walking.
