How the Heart Rate Control Program Works:
Heart Rate Control uses your treadmills 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 machines 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. The Weight Control program attempts to maintain your heart
rate at 70% of your Maximum Heart Rate. The Cardiovascular program 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.
STEP 1: Press the Program up/down keys to select the HR1 or HR2 program.
STEP 2: The Pulse window will be blinking, showing the default HR for this program. You may
adjust it and press enter if you want or just press enter to accept the default value.
STEP 3: The Calorie will now be blinking showing bodyweight. Adjust and press enter or press
enter to accept default.
STEP 4: The Pulse window will now be blinking showing age. Adjust and press enter or press
enter to accept default.
STEP 5: The Time window will now be blinking. Adjust the time and press enter.
STEP 6: Press Start to begin program.
*Remember that you must maintain contact with the sensors for the program to work.
