COMPUTER OPERATION
PROGRAM 9 TARGET HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM
The TARGET HEART RATE CONTROL program is designed to keep the user training at their chosen heart rate level to achieve the
proper workout result. A heart rate monitoring device must be used for this program: Contact Heart Rate Grips or Chest Belt Pulse
Transmitter. The equipment provides a standard contact handgrip on the moving handle bar to sense the user’s heart beat during the
workout. The user must hold the contact handgrips on the stationary handlebars constantly in order to monitor the user heart rate during
the workout. A wireless chest belt transmitter is highly recommended for this program since it provides the best most consistent
feedback.
When you select this program you will be asked for weight, and age. Based on your age it will recommend a Heart Rate. You can
change it to a different value at your discretion.
IMPORTANT: By default, console software will recommend the user’s recommended SAFE MAXIMUM HEART RATE based on
the formula: ((220pbm-AGE) X 75%). User’s are encouraged to consult with a doctor or training consultant to more accurately
estimate their SAFE MAXIMUM HEART RATE in order to workout safely. If you exceed your target heart rate the elliptical will go
into cool down mode automatically.
Finally, the TIME display shows factory default setting “16:00”. Press RESISTANCE UP/DOWN button to adjust the target time and
press PROGRAM/ENTER to confirm. Press Start to Begin.
Once the user successfully enters the HEART RATE CONTROL program, the computer will actively adjust the INCLINE/MOTION level
and RESISTANCE level to keep the users at the TARGET HEART RATE throughout the program excluding first 3 minutes and last
minute (warm up and cool down).
USING THE CHEST BELT HEART RATE MONITOR:
For proper operation, the chest belt should be worn with the monitor strapped across the front of your body just under the chest line as
shown in the drawing below. The monitor needs a little body heat and moisture in order to work properly. To ensure correct operation
you may want to wet the two rubber contacts with gel under the belt prior to exercising.
Chest belt is an optional accessory.
