User Program
This mode allows you to build and save your own custom program.
Press the Up or Down key until the User icon at the top of the display is blinking then press Enter.
The first column of the profile will be blinking. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust the work level then
press Enter. The second column will now be blinking. Repeat the same process as above and
press Enter. Repeat this process until all the columns are adjusted to your liking. All the settings
will be saved as a custom program.
Target HR
This program allows you to set a target heart rate and the machine will automatically adjust the
work load to safely reach the target and maintain that target.
Use the Up/Down keys to select the Target HR program and press Enter. The display will show a
number and the age icon at top will be blinking. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust the age and press
Enter. The display will now show a blinking percent number or the letters THR.
You may use the Up/Down keys to choose either 55%, 75%, 90% or THR. The percentage
choices will automatically set the target to a percent of your maximum heart rate, based on your
age. This is why it is important to adjust the age properly. The console will use a formula to
determine the correct percentage: 220 age = maximum HR. For example a 30 year old persons
Max HR is 190 BPM (220 30 = 190 BPM). If the 30 year old wants to work at 75%, their target
HR will be 142BPM.
If you want to choose to work at 75% - for example - then use the Up/Down arrows to highlight
75% and press Enter. Now the Time window will be blinking and you can program it and other data
the same as other programs. If you want to set your own custom Target HR then use the Up/Down
arrow to highlight THR and press Enter. The Pulse window will now be blinking. Use the Up/Down
arrows to set your own Target HR and press Enter to continue.
Recovery
Used to measure how fast your heart rate (HR) recovers from exercise. The faster your HR returns
to normal from exercise level, the better aerobic shape you are in. Pressing the recovery button
will start a 60 second count down. Hold the hand pulse sensors and do not exercise during the
count down. At the end of the 60 seconds a score will be displayed ranging from F1 to F6 with F1
being the highest score and F6 being the lowest.
