The program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this
time, you may change the incline or speed.
Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the 3-minute
period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program
begins.
The program automatically adjusts the incline to keep your heart
rate at the selected target. After the warm-up period, pressing
the INCLINE keys no longer affects the incline motor. Check the
SmartRate display to see if you are maintaining your preferred
zone. Check the HEART RATE display to determine your actual
heart rate. For information about understanding your target heart
rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.
You can press the SPEED keys to adjust the speed and press
the navigational arrow keys to change the target heart rate
during your exercise session. The display lets you know when
changes to either are about to occur.
Note: Changing the target heart rate or speed affects the
treadmill’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the
preferred zone. It takes time for the treadmill to readjust the
incline so that your heart rate remains on target.
If you wish to quit a heart rate program, you can make a
mid-session transfer to another program. If you try to return or
transfer mid-session to a heart rate program, messages scroll
across the display stating your options.
A cool-down period is automatically added to the end of each
program.
If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, talk to your
fitness facility manager.
