This treadmill can monitor your heart rat e u sing either t he chest stra p provided with the treadmill or the metal grips on the hand rails (called con tact heart rate or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits your he art rate to the tr e admill vi a radio, and the CHR pads connect to a speci al computer circuit to extract your hear t rate.
C ontac t Hear t Rat e CHAPTER ONE : B ASIC O PERATION Con tac t Hear t R a te ( CHR) The contact heart rat e (CH R) system lets you monitor your he art rate without wearing a strap. Gently grasp the contact heart ra te p ads a s shown. When t he s ystem dete cts your hands , the Heart Rate label will start f lashing in time with your heart beat .
1. Ex erci se w it h smooth body motions . 2. Br eathe smo othly and r egul ar ly , and a void talking . ( T alk ing will cause unr epresentative heart ra te spikes of 5 to 10 bpm.) 3. Grip the pads ligh tly , not tig h tly . 4. Mak e sur e your hands are clean, f r ee of b oth dirt and hand lotions .
A N ot e on CHR A cc u racy CHR monitoring may be a bit less accurate than a chest str ap, since the hear t rate signals are much stronger at the c he st.
Each workout has a four -minute warm up and a two-minute c ool down. Spe ed or grade changes st a y in ef f ect until the next change is requeste d by the pr o gram. Changing the default workout time adds or removes seg men ts ; it does not stretch or compr ess the workout profile.
Z er o-grade walking or r unning inter vals are in one-minute seg ments . Grade changes are per manen t ; sp eed changes af fect t he current one-min ute segment only . Z er o-grade gradually increase s spe ed t hen decreas es sp eed, changing once per m inute .
