Selecting Programs & Options
Every key on the display is usable during operation. Any key may be pressed at any time to
make adjustments in speed, elevation, level, program choice, workout time, or data readouts.
Displaying Heart Rate
In order for the 600T to display your heart rate, you must either use a Polar compatible heart
rate transmitter belt, or your treadmill must have the optional Contact Heart Rate.
NOTE: The Heart Rate Control program will not work with Contact Heart Rate.
1. Contact Heart Rate — Hold the handgrips on the console crossbar until a heart rate is
displayed, typically less than 30 seconds. For best results, hold the handgrips lightly and
ensure that your hands contact both the front and back sensors of each grip. Movement
can cause interference on the contacts, so hold your hands as steady as possible.
NOTE: When wearing a Polar compatible transmitter, the Polar transmitter will override
2. Polar Compatible Reception — To use this feature, a Polar compatible heart rate
transmitter belt must be worn. To view heart rate continuously, press the heart-shaped
key in the Display Options section.
NOTE: Please note that Cybex does not recommend continuous holding of the handrails
The Workout Graph
The Workout Graph matrix in the middle of the display uses columns of lights to show the
progress of your workout. The height of the column represents power, specifically the highest
power you reached in that period. The exception to this is in Heart Rate Control, where
column height represents heart rate. The length of the period is 1/15 of your total workout
time when in Manual Mode or Heart Rate Control, and 15 seconds in every other program.
