If you have
selected heart
rate program 8,
the letters “PLS”
and the current
target heart rate
setting will flash in
the left display. Press the – and + buttons repeat-
edly to change the target heart rate setting, if
desired. The target heart rate setting can be from
70 to 170 beats per minute.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 6 on page 13)
or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently for the program to operate properly.
Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
instead of your heart rate.
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Heart rate program 7 consists of 20 one-minute
segments. One resistance setting and one target
heart rate setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. (The same resistance setting and/or target
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.) During the pro-
gram, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will
periodically change.
Heart rate program 8 is 60
minutes long (you may choose to use only part of
the program). The same resistance setting and
target heart rate setting are programmed for the
entire program.
At the end of each segment, a series of tones will
sound. The resistance of the pedals will then
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis-
tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the
resistance by pressing the Quick Resistance but-
tons. However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next seg-
ment.
As you exercise,
the Training Zone
bar will help you to
keep your heart
rate near the cur-
rent target heart
rate setting. The lit
indicators in the
bar will show your
actual pace. When
you wear the chest
pulse sensor or
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, the console will periodically com-
pare your heart rate to the target heart rate set-
ting; if necessary, an indicator in the bar will then
flash to prompt you to increase or decrease your
pace to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate setting. If an indicator to the right of
the lit indicators is flashing (see drawing a),
increase your pace. If an indicator to the left of
any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b),
decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash-
ing, your heart rate is near the target heart rate
setting.
Important: The target heart rate set-
tings are intended only to provide motivation.
Your actual heart rate may be slower than the
target heart rate settings. Make sure to exer-
cise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue in this way until the
left display shows that no time remains in the
program.
Note: If you stop pedalling for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the program will end. Heart
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and
then restarted.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 5 on page 12.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 13.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 8 on page 13.
