The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls incline. CAUTION! The target value used in H-1 and H-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal. Target Heart Rate 19 ET6 / ET8 / ET10 How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: 1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. 2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable. 3. Position the transmitter with the Polar logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest. 4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles. 5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 black square areas on the reverse side of the belt and either side of transmitter). It..s also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After ..warming up.., this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn..t affect performance. 6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver .. to achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon. Erratic Operation: Caution! Do not use this treadmill for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem. Areas to look for on interference: (1) Treadmill not properly grounded - A must! (2) Microwave ovens, T.V...s, small appliances, etc. (3) Fluorescent lights. (4) Some household security systems. (5) Perimeter fence for a pet. (6) The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference. (7) If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer. WARNING! DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL’S DISPLAY! Special Operations of Heart Rate Functions: All Spirit treadmills that are factory equipped with a Heart Rate Control system have many distinct features both in the Heart Rate Control program and during heart rate monitoring. This section will give you a more detailed background to use your treadmill in the most effective manner. Using a Heart Rate Transmitter (sold separately) Heart Rate Control Heart Rate Control How the Heart Rate Control Program Works: Heart Rate Control (HRC) uses your treadmill's speed and incline systems to adjust your heart rate. Increases and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed alone. The HRC program automatically changes the speed and elevation gradually to achieve the programmed target heart rate. Heart rate Auto-Pilot feature (ET8 / ET10 only) This unique feature allows the user to instantly enter the Heart Rate Control mode at any time with the press of a button. The HR2 program button also doubles as the Auto-Pilot button. During any program the user may press the Auto-Pilot button to enter the HRC program. Your current heart rate (the heart rate you are at when you press Auto-Pilot) will be maintained automatically by the Auto-Pilot program. You may press the elevation/incline up or down buttons to change your target heart rate while in the Auto-Pilot mode. Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program: You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (H-1) program or the Cardiovascular (H-2) program. Weight Control attempts to maintain your heart rate at 70% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Cardiovascular attempts to maintain your heart rate at 90% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is based upon a formula that subtracts your age from 220. Your age input is performed during the setup mode. CAUTION! The target value used in H-1 and H-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal. Heart Rate Control programming CAUTION! Intended for wireless transmitter c...
