NordicTrack 9800 I Treadmill, User Manual

20

Each pulse-driven program is divided into one-

minute segments. (The main display will show both

the time remaining in the program and the time re-

maining in the current segment of the program.)

One target heart rate setting is programmed for

each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE pro-

gram, the same target heart rate setting will be

programmed for all segments.)

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, a series of tones will sound

and the speed and/or incline of the INCLINE

TRAINER will change, if needed, to bring your

heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting for

the next segment. The speed and/or incline setting

will flash in the main display to alert you before the

speed and/or incline changes. The program will

continue until 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 automatically 

increase; if you increase the

speed, the incline will 

decrease. If you increase

the incline, the speed will 

decrease; if you de-

crease the incline, the speed will increase. The

INCLINE TRAINER 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 cannot be de-

creased any further.

If your pulse is not detected during the program,

the letters PLS will flash in the main display and

the incline and speed of the INCLINE TRAINER

may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-

tected. If this occurs, refer to the instructions in-

cluded with your chest pulse sensor. 

To stop the program at any time, press the STOP

button. Pulse-driven programs should not be

stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a

pulse-driven program again, reselect the program

and start it at the beginning.

Follow your progress with the main display.

Refer to step 5 on page 15.

When the program is completed, remove the

key.

Refer to step 6 on page 18.
