PaceMaster Pro-Plus HR Manual page 8

SPEED window displays "-P-" to indicate PAUSE is active. You may then answer the phone or doorbell. To resume your workout where you left off
press START.
• UP, DOWN - The UP and DOWN buttons set the desired elevation (incline). Elevation is adjustable from 0% incline to 15% in 0.5% increments.
To display the current elevation setting, momentarily press either the UP or DOWN button. An "E" will appear in the DISTANCE window followed by
the elevation setting. For example a 3.5% incline is displayed as "E 3.5". To change elevation settings either repetitively press or hold down the
appropriate button. Before exercise, set your desired elevation value. PaceMaster will not elevate to this setting until START is pressed to begin
exercise. During exercise PaceMaster will immediately seek any new elevation value set with the UP or DOWN buttons. After exercise ("End" is
displayed) return PaceMaster to 0% incline by pressing the DOWN button until the elevation mechanism stops moving.
• CALORIES - Before exercise, you can predict the calorie burn for your workout. Enter your time, speed, and elevation goals. Press CALORIES to
display your predicted calorie burn, displayed in the DISTANCE window, preceded by the letter "c". For example 143 calories is displayed as "c
143". You may fine-tune your calorie burn to a specific value by changing your time, speed, or elevation. If you begin "fine tuning" within three
seconds of pressing the calorie button, the calorie display will remain until "fine tuning" has stopped for three or more seconds. During exercise,
press the CALORIE button to display the actual amount of calories burned thus far. The calorie display disappears three seconds after the button is
pressed. If you want to have the calories continuously displayed during exercise as opposed to distance hold down the calorie button until a decimal
point appears directly after the letter "c" in the calorie display. You can unlock the calorie display by pressing either the calorie or aerobic point's
button.
• AEROBIC POINTS - This button functions the same as calories but displays Aerobic Points proceeded by the letter "P". See "Exercise and Your
Treadmill" for a description of Aerobic Points.
• WARM UP/COOL DOWN - Before exercise, this button can add a 5 minute warm up program prior to your main exercise routine, and/or a 5
minute cool down program following your main routine. The warm up program is designed to loosen you up and get you ready for the main exercise
routine. The cool down program allows your body to gently adjust to the end of a workout instead of abruptly stopping. Most authorities advise this
method of exercising.
The computer, based on your main exercise starting and finishing speeds respectively calculates warm up and cool down speeds. If your main
exercise starting speed is 4.5 mph or less your warm up will begin at 65% of that speed and go to 90% of that speed during the 5 minute warm up. If
your main exercise finishing speed is 4.5 mph or less your cool down will begin at 90% of that speed and go to 65% of that speed during the 5 minute
cool down. If your main exercise starting speed is 4.6 mph or greater your warm up will begin at 50% of that speed and go to 75% of that speed
during the 5 minute warm up. If your main exercise finishing speed is 4.6 mph or greater your cool down will begin at 75% of that speed and go to
50% of that speed during the 5 minute cool down.
Before Exercise:
To add both a warm up & cool down to your workout press the warm up/cool down button once. You will see that both the warm up & cool down
lights are on indicating that they will be added to your workout. You will also notice that the workout time has been increased by 10 minutes to
include the warm up & cool down.
To add a warm up to your workout press the warm up/cool down button twice. You will see that the warm up light is on indicating that it will be added
to your workout. You will also notice that the workout time has been increased by 5 minutes to include the warm up.
To add a cool down to your workout press the warm up/cool down button three times. You will see that the cool down light is on indicating that it will
be added to your workout. You will also notice that the workout time has been increased by 5 minutes to include the cool down.
At any time during warm up, the WARM UP button can be pressed to discontinue warm up and begin your main exercise. Similarly, during main
exercise you can press the COOL DOWN button to end the exercise and immediately begin a cool down.
• SELECT & ZOOM - Prior to pressing START and after inserting the magnetic safety key and entering your age and weight, the PROGRAM
SELECT button is used to select one of four programs. The four programs are BASIC, ENDURANCE, INTERVAL, and HR CONTROL. Press
PROGRAM SELECT once, to retrieve the first of three preprogrammed courses stored in PaceMaster's memory. The light next to the program
name selected will illuminate. Once a preprogrammed course has been selected the level (preceded with an "L - " and displayed in the time window),
maximum speed, and maximum elevation settings are displayed in their respective windows for three seconds. Pressing PROGRAM SELECT a
second time recalls the next program pressing a third time recalls the third. To use one of the programs, press PROGRAM SELECT until the
indicator light next to the program you want to use, then press START. Once you have pressed START and begun a preprogrammed course the
PROGRAM SELECT button becomes the ZOOM button. ZOOM is used to toggle between two different display modes. Prior to pressing START in
a preprogrammed course, the profile is displayed on the graphic display with each column representing 2 minutes (warm up and cool down are not
represented at this time). During your workout each column on the graphic display represents a thirty-second segment in your program. Use the
ZOOM button to toggle between these two display modes.
