HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM

Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen-
sor to use a pulse program. See page 26 for more
information on the optional chest pulse sensor.
2. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page

3. Identify yourself as user 1 or user 2.
See step 2 on page 16.
4. Select one of the four pulse programs.
To select a pulse program, press the Program but-
ton repeatedly. When a pulse program is selected,
the name of the program (PULSE: 1, PULSE: 2,
PULSE: 3, or PULSE: 4) will appear on the screen.
If pulse program 1 is selected, a track will appear
on the screen.
If pulse program 2, 3, or 4 is selected, a profile
of the heart rate settings of the program will appear
on the screen. The arrow below the profile will indi-
cate your progress during the workout.
5. Enter a target heart rate setting.
If pulse program 1 is selected, the target heart
r
ate setting for the entire program will appear on
the screen beside the words TARGET BPM (beats
p
er minute). If desired, press the increase and de-
crease buttons beside the User button to change
the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE IN-
TENSITY on page 32).
If pulse program 2, 3, or 4 is selected, the maxi-
mum target heart rate setting of the program will
appear on the screen. If desired, press the in-
crease and decrease buttons beside the User but-
ton to change the maximum target heart rate set-
ting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 32).
Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate
setting, the intensity level of the entire program will
change.
6. Start the walking belt.
Press the Start button to start the program. A mo-
ment after you press the button, the treadmill will
automatically adjust to the first speed and incline
settings of the program. Hold the handrails and
begin walking.
Pulse program 1 is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. The same target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for all segments (except for the first two
segments). Pulse programs 2, 3, and 4 are divided
into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart
rate setting is programmed for each segment.
Note: The same target heart rate setting may be
programmed for consecutive segments.
CAUTION: If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the pulse pro-
g
rams. If you are taking medication regularly,
consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
