Contact must be maintained with all 4 sensors to obtain a heart rate reading. Fours dashes will appear in the TOP RIGHT DISPLAY window indicating that your heart rate is being acquired. This may take 20 to 30 seconds depending on the person.

NOTE: Contact heart rate is disabled if you have activated the chest strap receiver prior to starting a workout. As with the wireless chest straps there is a small percentage of people that this feature may not function for.

HEART RATE PERFORMANCE REVIEW

If you use the heart zone monitor feature C1, while wearing your wireless chest strap, and acquired your heart rate prior to beginning your workout, you will receive the HR performance review at the end of your workout. This will be a graphic representation of your heart rate through out your workout. This graph will be displayed in the profile window. If you spent less then 10 % of your total workout time in any one zone, that zone will not be displayed.

HEART RATE WORKOUTS

TRAIN LESS AND BENEFIT MORE FROM YOUR WORKOUTS

To maximize the benefits from your workouts, you must maintain a sufficiently high heart rate. Target heart rate training takes the guesswork out of exercising. It provides you with the means to train within safe and effective ranges, all the while maximizing your exercise time and effort.

The PaceMaster Silver XT has integrated heart rate control programs, which act as your personal trainer. You set your target based on your individual fitness goal (weight management or cardiovascular improvement), the workout time, maximum SPM, maximum resistance and the elliptical does the rest.

TIP: Based on the age entered, your PaceMaster elliptical automatically calculates your theoretical maximum heart rate and the Heart Rate Zone bar indicates which portion of your heart rate training zone (fat burn or aerobic) you are currently training. The fat burn zone is between 55% and 69% of your theoretical maximum heart rate. The aerobic zone is between 70% and 85% of your theoretical maximum heart rate.

The PaceMaster Silver XT uses the Runners World standard formula to calculate your theoretical maximum heart rate. The formula is 205 minus ½ your age. For example, if you are 40 years old, your theoretical maximum is 185 beats per minute (bpm). When your heart rate is between 102 and 128 bpm, you are training in the fat burn zone for weight management. When your heart rate is between 130 to 157 bpm, you are training in the aerobic training zone for cardiovascular improvement. The safest and most recommended method of determining your maximum heart rate is to have a physician administer a stress test.

THE WIRELESS CHEST STRAP TRANSMITTER

The PaceMaster Silver XT elliptical comes equipped with a WIRELESS CHEST STRAP TRANSMITTER, which, when worn,

measures pulse (number of heart beats per minute) and relays the information by way of RF to a receiver built into the ellipticals computer. This system is extremely accurate to within one beat per minute.

This chest strap must be worn to activate the HeartSmart™ Pulse Monitoring. The Heart Rate Control workouts are nonoperational unless the chest strap is worn.

PUTTING ON THE CHEST STRAP

To properly wear your chest strap, adjust the strap to fit snugly and comfortably around your chest with the electrodes (the grooved areas) directly over your sternum, as pictured to the right. For best results, the strap should be worn against skin. Moisture is necessary for the transmitter to function properly. Usually, perspiration is sufficient, but you may need to moisten the electrodes with water.

HEART RATE WORKOUTS

Your PaceMaster Silver XT elliptical offers the following Heart Rate Control workouts: C1 - Target HRC: Choose your target heart rate between 55% and 85% of your theoretical maximum.

C2 - Fat Burn HRC: Choose one of five levels in the fat burn training zone, between 55% and 69% of your theoretical maximum. C3 - Cardio HRC: Choose one of five levels in the aerobic training zone, between 70% and 85% of your theoretical maximum. C4 - Interval HRC: The elliptical automatically alternates between a rest and work heart rate, the difference between the rest heart rate and the work heart rate is approximately 20%.

NOTE: To avoid any undue cardiovascular stress, The PAUSE feature is limited to 30 seconds.

EXCLUSIVE PACEMASTER FEATURES

Exercise Preview

You can see exactly what you will accomplish prior to beginning a Timed Workout (Manual), Fat Burn Workout, or Interval workout. An EXERCISE PREVIEW predicts the total distance, caloric expenditure and Aerobic Points to be earned based on the time, Target SPM and resistance you chose. After you have selected a workout, or have set the target spm, workout time and resistance parameters for a Timed Workout (Manual), the predicted calories, Aerobic points, and distance will be displayed in the RESULTS window. Press the Results SELECT button to change the displayed result. Note that any adjustments to target spm, workout time and resistance parameters will change those figures.

Aerobic Points

One of the main reasons people stop exercising is because they don’t see the physical changes they expected. Results, however, can only be realized when you are training properly. For this reason, the Aerobic Point System has been incorporated into the design of PaceMaster ellipticals since 1968.

The Aerobic Point System was developed by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the Father of Aerobics and renowned founder of The Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas, TX, to measure the aerobic benefit of the workout. Dr. Cooper’s formula compares the energy costs of aerobic activity from the mathematical relationships between the oxygen expenditures assigned to each exercise at a given intensity and duration. This formula is built into the PaceMaster computer to automatically calculate the number of AEROBIC POINTS you earn for each workout

Dr. Cooper states in his book, The Aerobics Program For Total Well Being; “The main idea of this system is that, in order to stay in good shape and move toward a goal of total well-being, a person must earn a certain number of points each week by doing a certain amount of aerobic exercise.” His research has determined that a man should work up to a minimum of 32 points per week and a woman should work up to a minimum of 27 points per week. The number of weekly points you earn correlates with your level of fitness. The fitness categories are:

Average Points per Week

Classification Men Women

Very Poor Less than 10 Less than 8 Poor 10-20 8-15 Fair 21-31 16-26 Good 32-50 27-40 Excellent 51-74 41-64 Superior 75+ 65+

If you have not been on a regular exercise program, it is highly

recommended that you gradually work up to your desired fitness category

and then develop a maintenance program. You can see the number of AEROBIC POINTS you will earn prior to beginning your workout by pressing the Results SELECT button until

Aerobic Points indicator is illuminated. To design a workout based on the number of AEROBIC POINTS you want to earn, follow the instructions below for PERSONAL ELECTRONIC TRAINER.

Q. Why is the letter “h” preceding the time displayed (i.e. h1:15)?

A. The elliptical computer displays time in minutes and seconds (MM:SS) for workout times less than 1 Hour, and in hours and

minutes (H:MM) for workout times 1 hour or greater. h1:15 represents one hour and 15 minutes.

Q. How do I find out the total hours and miles on my elliptical?

A. Unplug the power cord, then plug it back in. Within 5 seconds of power up, press the
