Operating Your Treadmill (continued)
Note: To use the Heart Rate Control programs the treadmill needs to receive your heart rate throughout the
entire workout either through using the grip pulse pads or a chest strap heart rate transmitter.
HRC – Constant:
The Constant program lets you select a single heart rate that you want to maintain throughout your
workout and the treadmill will maintain this heart rate for you by either adjusting the speed or incline.
After selecting the Constant Heart Rate program the next selection option will be Incline Mode or Speed
Mode. Select which mode you prefer and the treadmill will adjust the speed or incline every 10 seconds
to keep you at your selected heart rate level. For instance, if you select the incline mode there will be a
3 minute warm up and then the incline will start to adjust each 10 seconds to obtain and maintain your
target heart rate. You choose the speed that you want the belt to run and the treadmill will control the
incline. Typically for Weight Loss set the target heart rate at 65% of your predicted maximum heart rate
and for Cardio Training set the target at 80% of your predicted maximum.
