HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM

Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near target heart rate settings during your workout. 

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.  

Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 14.

Select a heart rate program.

To select a heart rate program, press the Quick
Programs button numbered 1 or 2. 

If heart rate program 1 is selected,

a profile of

the target heart rate settings of the program will
scroll across the matrix.  

If heart rate pro-
gram 2 is se-
lected,

a pulse

graphic will appear
in the matrix. Each
time a heartbeat is
detected while you
are using the
chest pulse sensor or the handgrip pulse sensor,
a peak will appear in the pulse graphic. 

Enter a target heart rate setting.

If heart rate pro-
gram 1 is se-
lected,

the maxi-

mum target heart
rate setting of the
program will flash
in the Heart Rate
display. If desired, press the increase and de-
crease buttons above the Set Heart Rate indicator
to change the maximum target heart rate setting

(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 20)

. If you

change the maximum target heart rate setting, the
profile in the matrix will change to show the new
target heart rate settings. 

If heart rate program 2 is selected,

the target

heart rate setting for the entire program will flash
in the Heart Rate display. If desired, press the in-
crease and decrease buttons above the Set Heart
Rate indicator to change the target heart rate set-
ting 

(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 20)

. 

Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the
handgrip pulse sensor.

To use a heart rate program, you must wear the
chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not
necessary to hold the handgrips continuously dur-
ing the program; however, you should hold the
handgrips frequently 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 hold-

ing the handgrips, the letters PLS will flash in the
Heart Rate display instead of your heart rate.

Press the Start button to start the program.

Heart rate program 1

is divided into 30 one-

minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments. 

The target heart
rate setting for the
first segment will
be shown in the
flashing Current
Segment column of
the matrix. The tar-
get heart rate set-
tings for the next
twelve 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 

all target heart rate

settings will move one column to the left.

The tar-

get heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.

Heart rate program 2

is divided into 40 one-

minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-
ent program before the program ends.
