20HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM1. Turn on the console.See step 1 on page 16.2. Select a heart rate program.To select a heartrate program, pressone of the threeHeart Rate buttons.When a Heart Ratebutton is pressed,the indicator on thebutton will light.If the first heartrate program is se-lected, a pulse sym-bol will appear in thematrix.If the second orthird heart rateprogram is se-lected, a profile ofthe first several tar-get heart rate set-tings of the programwill appear in the matrix.3. Enter a target heart rate setting.If the first heart rate program is selected, thetarget heart rate setting for the program will flash inthe Pulse display. If desired, press the increaseand decrease buttons below the Pulse display tochange the target heart rate setting (see EXER-CISE INTENSITY on page 23). Note: The sametarget heart rate setting will be programmed for allsegments.If the second or third heart rate program is se-lected, the maximum target heart rate setting ofthe program will flash in the Pulse display. If de-sired, press the increase and decrease buttonsbelow the Pulse display to change the maximumtarget heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTEN-SITY on page 23). Note: If the maximum targetheart rate setting is changed, the intensity level ofthe entire program will change.4. Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the hand-grip pulse sensor.To use a heart rate program, you must wear thechest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sen-sor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is notnecessary to hold the handgrips continuously dur-ing the program; however, you should hold thehandgrips frequently for the program to operateproperly. Each time you hold the handgrips,keep your hands on the metal contacts for atleast 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holdingthe handgrips, the letters “PLS” will flash in thePulse display instead of your heart rate.5. Press the Start button to start the program.The first heart rate program—This program is di-vided into 100 one-minute segments. The sametarget heart rate setting is programmed for all seg-ments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercisingor select a different program before the programends.The second and third heart rate programs—These programs are divided into 30 one-minutesegments. One target heart rate setting is pro-grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-get heart rate setting may be programmed for twoor more consecutive segments.The target heart ratesetting for the firstsegment will beshown in the flash-ing Current Segmentcolumn of the ma-trix. The target heartrate settings for the next several segments will beshown in the columns to the right.When only three seconds remain in the first seg-ment of the program, both the Current Segmentcolumn and the column to the right will flash, a se-ries of tones will sound, andall target heart ratesettings will move one column to the left. The tar-get heart rate setting for the second segment willthen be shown in the flashing Current Segmentcolumn.Current Segment
