2 GETTING STARTED 2.1 THE HEART RATE TELEMETRY CHEST STRAP The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the chest strap (A) that the user wears during the workout. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
2.3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING® Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the LIFE FITNESS Heart Rate Zone Training® approach to exercise. Zone Training identifies an exerciser’s ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout.

4 HOW TO USE THE TRACK CONSOLE The Track Console was designed to make navigation as simple as possible by using special colors and keys.

4.6 WORKOUT PROFILE DISPLAY The workout profile graphically displays the intensity of a workout with columns of various heights. During the workout the current intensity level the user is in is signified by an arrow located above the appropriate column.

The second difficulty level corresponds to a range of actual incline percentages.
4.11 TIME DISPLAY The time window displays the total workout time set by the user during workout setup, which is a range from 1-99 minutes depending on the program. During a workout the time display will show time remaining and count down. Time can be changed to count up in the Settings Menu and the time display will show time elapsed.
