HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM
Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse program.
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.
Select one of the pulse programs.
To select a pulse program, press the Pulse
Control & Fitness Test button repeatedly until
“PLS1,” “PLS2,” “PLS3,” or “PLS4” appears in the
priority display.
If pulse program 1, 2, or 3 is selected,
a profile
of the target heart rate settings of the program will
scroll across the matrix (see the drawing above).
If pulse program 4 is
selected,
a pulse
symbol will scroll
across the matrix.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If pulse program 1, 2,
or 3 is selected,
the
maximum target heart
rate setting of the pro-
gram will flash in the
display. If desired,
press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Pulse Control &
Fitness Test button to change the maximum tar-
get heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTEN-
SITY on page 30).
Note: If the maximum target
heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of
the entire program will change.
If pulse program 4 is selected,
the target heart
rate setting for the entire program will flash in the
priority display. If desired, press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Pulse Control &
Fitness Test button to change the target heart rate
setting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 30).
Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Pulse programs 1, 2, and 3 are divided into sev-
eral one-minute segments. One target heart rate
setting is programmed for each segment. (Note:
The same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.)
Pulse program 4 is divided into 40 one-minute
segments. The same target heart rate setting is
programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter
workout, simply stop the program before it ends.
If pulse program 1, 2,
or 3 is selected, the tar-
get heart rate setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment
column of the matrix.
The target heart rate
settings for the next
several segments will be shown in the columns to
the right. When only three seconds remain in the
first segment of the program, both the Current
Segment column and the column to the right will
flash and a series of tones will sound.
