your heart rate near a target level while you exercise.

Select a HEART RATE program.
Press the HEART RATE button one, two, or three
times to select the CONSTANT HEART RATE,
VARIABLE HEART RATE, or FAT BURN pro-
gram. Note: The CONSTANT HEART RATE pro-
gram will keep your heart rate near a percentage
that you select. The VARIABLE HEART RATE
program will keep your heart rate within a target
range during your workout. The FAT BURN pro-
gram will keep your heart rate near 65% of your
age-predicted maximum heart rate
(see step 7 at
the right for an explanation of your age-predicted
maximum heart rate).
When a HEART RATE program is selected, the
name of the program will appear in the main dis-
play. The words ENTER AGE and the current age
setting will then be shown.
During HEART RATE programs, the matrix will
show a moving graphic that represents your heart
rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an addi-
tional peak will appear in the graphic.

RATE program, continue to step 6. If you have
selected the CONSTANT HEART RATE pro-
gram, skip to step 7. If you have selected the
FAT BURN program, skip to step 8.
Enter a minimum target heart rate setting.
The words MIN PERCENT and the minimum tar-
get heart rate setting for the program will be
shown in the main display. If desired, you can
change the minimum target heart rate setting by

button. The buttons can be held down to change
the minimum heart rate setting quickly. Then,

Enter a target heart rate setting.
The words MAX PERCENT and the target heart
rate setting for the program will be shown in the
main display. The target heart rate setting repre-
sents a
percentage
of your
age-predicted maxi-
mum heart rate
. Your age-predicted maximum
heart rate is 220 minus your age. For example, if
you are 30 years old, your age-predicted maxi-
mum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30
= 190). If you are 30 years old, a target heart rate
setting of 50 is equal to 95 beats per minute (50%
of 190 is 95).
If desired, you can change the target heart rate
setting by pressing the + and – buttons beside the
ENTER button. The buttons can be held down to
change the target heart rate setting quickly. The
target heart rate setting can be from
45% to 85%
of your age-predicted maximum heart rate. Then,
press the ENTER button.
