HEART RATE MODE
The treadmill may be used at any time in the Heart Rate Mode. The Heart Rate program is designed to
keep your heart at a desired amount of “beats per minute” by automatically adjusting the incline. For
example, you have programmed in a desired heart rate of 125 BPM and your heart rate is only at 110
BPM. If you are wearing the Chest Strap Transmitter correctly, the incline will automatically increase to
intensify the work load, causing your heart rate to slowly climb to 125 BPM. It is suggested that the Chest
Strap Transmitter be positioned as close to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the
pectoral muscles. The PULSE light on the console will blink when the Chest Strap signal is reaching the
console. The treadmill will attempt to maintain your target heart rate through adjustments to the incline for
the remainder of your workout. In the same respect, if your heart rate is above your programmed amount
of BPM’s, the incline will automatically decrease to lower your heart rate. See Figure 3, Figure 4, and sec-
tion entitled”Monitoring Your Heart Rate” for additional information on TARGET HEART RATES.
1. Plug treadmill into a surge protector outlet. Attach the Red Safety Key on to the treadmill console.
2. Stand on the treadmill and straddle belt. Attach safety key clip to your clothes.
3. Press POWER button. Place the Heart Rate Transmitter strap across your chest and connect ends. (Make
sure your skin is moist and the strap is snug for accurate transmission). At this time, if the display is
receiving a signal from the chest strap, the incline window will begin to settle on your current heart rate.
4. Press the PROGRAM UP button until the Hr is displayed in window Press Enter . The incline window
will display ‘125’, which is the default program target heart rate.
5. The TIME/PACE window will blink. Use the Program up and down arrows to select your workout time.
Press ENTER PROGRAM.
6. The SPEED window will then blink. Use the Program up and down arrows to select the speed for your
workout. Press ENTER PROGRAM.
7. The incline window (if receiving your heart rate accurately) will show current BPM. (If the receiver is not
receiving an accurate reading, the incline window will be flashing 125).
9. Press START/STOP button. Belt will begin to move after 4 seconds. Step on belt slowly after the belt starts
moving.
8. To adjust the pre-set target heart rate press the UP or DOWN button Press Enter.
DO NOT STOP TO START OVER. Continue exercising and your heart rate will naturally increase. The
program will continually monitor your heart rate and periodically adjust the incline up or down to increase
or decrease the resistance thereby keeping you at your target zone. At the conclusion of the programmed
time the TIME window will flash 00:00 and the CALORIES/DISTANCE window will continue to accumulate
values. The treadmill will continue operation until the START/STOP button or the PAUSE button is
pressed. Press the POWER button to turn off the treadmill.
