I
You can adjust treadmill speed from 0.5 to 12.5 mph (0.8 to 20.0 kph), in 0.1 mph (or 0.1 kph) increments. Press the
key to increase the treadmill speed; press the key to decrease the treadmill speed.
6. If desired, you can use the personal cooling fan during your workout (see “Using the Cooling Fan” for details).
7. You can pause the program during your workout by pressing the S
TOP key once. The program will pause for a preset period
of time (either 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 seconds, as set in the Manager Mode). Press the QUICK START key BEFORE the pause
timer expires to resume your program. The treadmill returns to its minimum speed when you exit the pause mode.
8. When you have reached your workout goal, the treadmill will enter the Cooldown cycle (see “Cooldown Cycle” for more infor-
mation). If you wish to exit your program before you have reached your workout goal, press the S
TOP key twice. The treadmill
will slow to a stop. (Press the S
TOP key once during a Pause to exit the program.)
TRAINING TOOLS
The TRAINING TOOLS program includes the HEART RATE TRAINING (Dynamic Heart Rate Control and Constant Heart Rate Control) program.
HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAMS
NOTE: For best results, use a heart rate strap. If user is
wearing a heart rate strap, the machine will automatically
use the data from the heart rate strap. Contact heart rate
grips may not give an accurate heart rate when exercising
over 4 mph.
To operate the Dynamic Heart Rate Control program:
This heart rate feature is designed to gradually elevate your
heart rate to the upper end of your selected training range,
then gradually decrease your heart rate to the lower end of
your selected training range using speed and incline. During
the workout, this cycle will repeat several times, creating an
interval training effect that is customized to the user’s
desired heart rate training range.
During program setup, there must be at least an 18 BPM dif-
ference between the lower heart rate limit and upper heart
rate limit to ensure an interval workout.
By including interval exercise in your regular aerobic pro-
gram, greater effects are noticed. Your heart and muscles
will adapt to the increases in demand by utilizing stored
calories for energy more effectively. Dynamic Heart Rate
Control may potentially result in more calories expended. It
will strengthen the heart, provide stress relief and variety to a workout. This program is more effective in training the body to remove
excess lactic acid from the muscles.
During program setup, you can use the key to return to a previously accepted parameter.
1. Stand on the running belt; press the key.
2. You are prompted to select the desired T
RAINING TOOLS program. Press the key to select the HR TRAINING programs, then
press the key when prompted to select Dynamic Heart Rate Control.
3. The Information Window displays the message “DYNAMIC PROGRAM VARIES SPEED AND INCLINE TO ALTER YOUR
HEART RATE BETWEEN LIMITS.” Press the key to continue.
4. You are prompted to enter your weight. You may enter your weight manually as described below.
I
If you do not enter your weight, the treadmill will display a default weight of 155 pounds (70 kg). You may enter any weight
from 1 to 500 pounds (1 to 226 kg).
I
You can enter your weight using the numeric keypad. Use the keys to enter your correct weight.

To calculate your training zone, use the following formulas:
(theoretical max HR = 220 - Age)
Heart Rate Training Range Upper Level
_____________________x 0.75 =
___________________________
Your Theoretical Max Training Range Upper Limit
Heart Rate Training Range Lower Level
_____________________x 0.60 =
___________________________
Your Theoretical Max Training Range Lower Limit
NOTE: Calculating your theoretical maximum heart rate using age is
an approximation. For more information, please contact a fitness
professional or doctor.
