To select a heart rate program, press the Custom
& Heart Rate Control Programs button repeatedly;
“P-13,” “P-14,” “P-15,” or “P-16,” will appear in the
priority display for a few seconds.
If heart rate program 13 is selected,
a pulse
symbol will scroll across the matrix (see the draw-
ing above).
If heart rate program
14, 15, or 16 is se-
lected,
a profile of the
target heart rate set-
tings of the program
will scroll across the
matrix.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If heart rate program
13 is selected,
the tar-
get heart rate setting for
the entire program will
flash in the priority dis-
play. If desired, press
the increase and de-
crease buttons beside the Custom & Heart Rate
Control Programs button to change the target
heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on
page 24).
If heart rate program 14, 15, or 16 is selected,
the maximum target heart rate setting of the pro-
gram will flash in the priority display. If desired,
press the increase and decrease buttons beside
the Custom & Heart Rate Control Programs button
to change the maximum target heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24).
Note:
If the maximum target heart rate setting is
changed, the intensity level of the entire program
will change.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
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.
Heart rate program 13 is divided into 100 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. (For a
shorter workout, simply stop the program before it
ends.) Heart rate programs 14, 15, and 16 are di-
vided into either 20 or 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 con-
secutive segments.
If heart rate program
14, 15, or 16 is se-
lected, the target heart
rate setting for the first
segment will be shown
in the flashing 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.
