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
Mode. The first column of the profile will be blinking. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust the
work level then press Mode. The second column will now be blinking. Repeat the same
process as above and press Mode. 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 Mode. 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 Mode. 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 mode. 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 mode. The Pulse window will
now be blinking. Use the Up/Down arrows to set your own Target HR and press Mode 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.
