Next, wrap the chest pulse sensor around your chest and attach the other end of the chest strap to the sensor unit. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse sensor should be under your clothes, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.

Sensor

Unit

Buckle

Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

• Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag

r other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sun-

ight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to

l temperatures above 50° C (120° F) or below -10° C (15° F).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse sensor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself near the centre of the walking belt. For the con-

sole to display heart rate readings, the user must be within arm’s length of the console.

Next, pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side (the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges). Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with

• people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see page 29).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

Pulse programs 1, 2, and 3 are divided into several one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. (Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.) Pulse program 4 is divided into 40 one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, simply stop the program before it ends.

If pulse program 1, 2, or 3 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound.

OW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAM

The fitness test program measures your approximate

V of your ability to take in and utilize oxygen to generate energy for endurance activities such as running and cycling. In technical terms, VO volume of oxygen, in milliliters, that your body can use in one minute, per kilogram of body weight. A high VO max indicates a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness. Note: To learn more about VO utable book or consult your physician.

For the most accurate results, use the fitness test program when you are not feeling tired, when you have not eaten for at least two hours, and when you have not exercised for at least 24 hours. Follow the steps below to use the program.

SOLUTION:

The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly

a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. Whilst the incline is changing, re-

move the key. After a few seconds, reinsert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-

xisting health problems.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

egin to use stored

b is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.

or maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline

F of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.

or energy. If your goal

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age. The three numbers define your “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body

for en-

Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never hold your breath.

A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent postexercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
