Enter a maximum heart rate setting.

After you have
entered your
age, the letters
PLS will appear
in the Pulse/
Calories display.
Press the + or –
button. A number will then appear in the display.
This number is the maximum heart rate setting for
the program. If Pulse program 1 is selected, the
maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to
85% of your maximum possible heart rate; if Pulse
program 2 is selected, the maximum heart rate
setting can be from 65% to 80% of your maximum
possible heart rate. 

Note: Your maximum possible heart rate is esti-
mated by subtracting your age from 220. For ex-
ample, if you are 30 years old, your maximum pos-
sible heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30
= 190). Therefore, if Pulse program 1 is selected,
the maximum heart rate setting can be from 123 to
161 beats per minute (65% of 190 is 123; 85% of
190 is 161).

If you want to change the maximum heart rate set-
ting, press the + and – buttons. The buttons can
be held down to change the setting quickly. When
the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.

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. 

Each program is divided into several time segments
of different lengths. The Time/Segment Time dis-
play will show both the time remaining in the pro-
gram and the time remaining in the current seg-
ment. One target heart rate setting is programmed
for each segment. The heart rate setting for the
first segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the program 
display. The heart rate
settings for the next five
segments will be shown
in the five 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 display
and the Distance/Incline display will flash. When
the first segment is completed, all heart rate set-
tings 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 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 no time remains in
the Time/Segment Time display. 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 Pulse/Calories dis-
play. In addition, the speed and/or incline of the
treadmill may automatically decrease until your
pulse is detected. If this occurs, refer to the instruc-
tions included with the chest pulse sensor. 

Pulse programs cannot be stopped temporarily
and then restarted. To stop the program at any
time, press the Stop button.

Follow your progress with the four displays.

Refer to step 5 on page 11.

When the program has ended, remove the key.

See step 6 on page 13.
