Enter your age.

Three seconds after the pulse-driven program is
selected, the words “ENTER AGE” and the current
age setting will appear in the main display. You
must enter your age to use the pulse-driven program.

If you have already entered your age, go to step 5.
If you have not entered your age, press the Enter
Age buttons to enter your age. The buttons can be
held down to enter your age quickly. Once you
have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.

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 for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking. 

The pulse-driven program is divided into several
time segments of different lengths. (The main dis-
play shows both the time remaining in the program
and the time remaining in the current segment of
the program.) One target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for each
segment. The tar-
get heart rate set-
ting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column of
the program display. The target heart rate settings
for the next twenty-two segments will be shown in
the columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a se-
ries of tones will sound, and the speed setting
and/or the incline setting will flash in the main dis-

play. When the first segment is completed, all
heart rate settings will move one column to the
left. The heart rate setting for the second segment
will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column, and the speed and/or the incline
of the treadmill will change, if needed, to bring
your heart rate closer to the heart rate setting for
the second segment.  

The program will continue until the target heart
rate setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and no time remains in
the program. The walking belt will then slow to a
stop.

If the speed or incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if
you decrease the speed, the incline will automati-
cally increase; if you increase the speed, the in-
cline will decrease. If you increase the incline, the
speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline,
the speed will increase. The treadmill will always
attempt to keep your heart rate near the target
heart rate setting for the current segment. Note:
When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the
speed cannot be increased any further. When the
incline reaches the highest setting, the speed can-
not be decreased any further.

If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the main display and
the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-
matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If
this occurs, refer to the instructions on page 8. 

The pulse-driven program cannot be stopped tem-
porarily and then restarted. However, the program
can be stopped at any time with the Stop button. 

Follow your progress with the displays.

Refer to step 5 on page 12.

When the program has ended, remove the key.

See step 6 on page 14.
