heart-rate-controlled programs (HRC1-HRC3), and a BMI calculation program (F1).
TRAINING WITH PRESET PROGRAMS (P01-P36)
The 36 preset training programs are divided into 10 segments each (S-01 to S-10).
Each segment has a set speed and running deck incline. See the Preset Program

preset training programs: P01-P36.

TRAINING WITH HEART-RATE-CONTROLLED PROGRAMS (HRC1-HRC3)
There are three heart-rate training programs which allow the user to train within
a target heart rate. During the workout, the user’s actual heart rate is compared
to the target heart rate every 30 seconds. If the heart rate is higher than the
target, the speed will automatically decrease. If it is lower than the target, the
speed will increase. These programs cannot be used with the hand sensors, they
can only be used with the included chest belt accessory. Please see HEART RATE
MEASUREMENT USING THE CHEST BELT and WARNING ABOUT PULSE & HEART
RATE MONITORS on pages 24-25. To workout using the heart-rate-controlled
program:
1. Secure the chest belt to your chest. Ensure the logo is at the front.
2. Press the Program button to toggle through the programs. Choose one of the
heart-rate programs: HRC1, HRC2, HRC3. The maximum speed varies for each
program: HRC1 = 5.6 mi/hr, HRC2 = 6.8 mi/hr, HRC3 = 8.1 mi/hr. Choose a program
what will be appropriately challenging but won’t cause overexertion.
3. The default age of “25” will flash in the display. Enter your age, from 1-99 years,
using the +/- Speed buttons. Press the Mode button to confirm your entry.
4. The system calculated target heart rate for your age will show on the display.
Please read through the heart rate information on page 24-25 for details.

b. If you want to train with a personalized heart rate, enter it using the +/- Speed
buttons, from 80-180. Press the Mode button to confirm your entry.
5. The default time of “30:00” will flash in the Time Window. Press the +/- Speed
buttons to enter your desired training time between 5:00 and 99:00 minutes.

*When the Start button is pressed, the display will show a countdown (you will hear accompanying
tones). The training time will begin upon completion of the countdown and the treadmill will begin
