Once you have selected one of the Heart Rate control Programs, Program 7, 8, 9 or 10,
confirm by pressing the controller. You will see the target heart rate flashing on a figure,
this is the default value. (this figure will vary from 90 to 120 beats per minute,
pending which program you select) Using the chart on page 21, you can determine a
guideline target heart rate. Please note this is only a guide, and we advise you consult
your GP first to seek their advice.
1) Choose your target heart rate by turning the controller either to increase “+” or to
decrease “-“. Once you have found the correct figure, select by pressing the controller
(Settings between 50 to 190 beat per minute)
2) Next you will be required to set the length of time of the program. The default time
is 20 minutes, but you can set from 15 to 99 minutes.
3) Use the plus + or minus - buttons or turn the controller to adjust your weight. The
default weight setting will be 68kgs (150lbs), with the range being 20 to 150kgs (50-
400lbs).
Please press the “Select” or the controller to confirm the user weight.
4) Press the “Start” button or the controller and begin your workout.
5) Use the clear button to return to the previous step of your set up procedure.
The “THR Zone” program will have a 5 minute warm up period, before the program
will start. After the warm up period, the resistance level will increase gradually to get
the user to the desired “target heart rate zone”. Once the user reaches their “target
heart rate zone” (plus or minus 5 beats) the resistance level will remain constant. If
your heart rate either falls below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance
will adjust automatically to keep you within your training zone. If your heart rate goes
above, the resistance will lowered to maintain your constant heart rate. If it falls
below, the resistance will increase to again keep you working within your zone.
The last 5 minutes of your heart rate program, you will begin a cool down period. At
this time, the program will gradually decrease in resistance, to give the user a smooth
cool down to their program.
Note: The Chest Strap Transmitter is required to use the HRC Program correctly.
