How to Use the CardioTrackª Heart Rate Monitor  
3. Pull the transmitter away from your body a few  
inches and locate the two electrode areas on the  
inner side. The electrode areas are the two long,  
grooved rectangles. Using saline solution such as  
saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode  
areas. Return the transmitter to a position against  
your chest.  
IMPORTANT: If a user has an implanted  
medical device such as a pacemaker, the  
user must check with his or her physician  
prior to using the heart rate monitor.  
The unique CardioTrack heart rate monitor is specially  
designed for accuracy, comfort, and durability. To get  
the best performance from the heart rate monitor,  
please read the instructions below.  
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING  
The instructions on pages 11 to 17 of this userÕs  
manual explain how the heart rate monitor is used  
with the console. If the letters ÒPLSÓ appear in the  
PULSE display, or if the displayed heart rate is  
excessively high or low when the heart rate moni-  
tor is used, try the trouble-shooting steps below.  
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR  
The heart rate monitor consists of two components:  
the chest strap and the transmitter. Follow the steps  
below to put on the heart rate monitor.  
1. Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your  
clothing, against your skin, and as high under the  
pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.  
Note: If the heart rate monitor does not function  
when positioned as described, try moving it slightly  
lower or higher on your chest.

3. Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens  
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the  
transmitter. If heart rate readings do not appear  
until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.  
Buckle  
Transmitter  
4. As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-  
self near the center of the walking belt. For the  
console to display heart rate readings, the user  
must be within armÕs length of the console.  
1. Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on  
one end of the chest strap through the hole in one  
end of the transmitter. Press the end of the trans-  
mitter under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab  
should be flush with the front of the transmitter.  
5. The heart rate monitor is designed to work with  
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate  
reading problems may be caused by medical  
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-  
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.  
2. Wrap the  
heart rate  
monitor  
around your  
chest and  
attach the  
other end of  
the chest  
strap to the  
transmitter.

Operation and Adjustment  
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT  
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,  
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-  
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that  
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be  
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole  
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly  
grounded outlet is not available.  
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with  
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.  
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other  
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-  
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking  
belt and cause excessive wear.

Grounded Outlet Box  
Adapter  
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated  
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by  
sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.  
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can  
result from weather conditions or from other appliances  
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of  
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge  
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at  
the right).  
Surge Suppressor  
Lug  
Metal Screw  
Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores  
and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge  
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage  
surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must  
have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or  
less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.  
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for  
120 volts AC and 15 amps.  
The temporary adapter should be used only until a  
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed  
by a qualified electrician.  
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending  
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent  
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.  
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place  
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box  
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-  
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is  
grounded before using an adapter.  
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-  
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least  
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-  
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having  
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding  
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,  
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch  
of a button. As you exercise, five displays will provide  
continuous exercise feedback. Six preset programs are  
also offered: the HEART RATE program automatically  
controls the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep  
your heart rate near predetermined settings, and five  
INCLINE programs automatically control the incline of  
the treadmill as they guide you through effective work-  
outs.  
¥ Do not stand on the walking belt when  
turning on the power or starting the  
walking belt.  
¥ Always wear the clip (see the drawing

key is pulled from the console, the walking  
belt will stop.  
¥ The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments.  
To use the manual mode, follow the steps on pages  
12 and 13. To use the HEART RATE program, see  
pages 14 and 15. To use the INCLINE programs, see  
pages 16 and 17.  
¥ The heart rate monitor is not a medical  
device. Various factors may affect the accu-  
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate  
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid  
in determining heart rate trends in general.  
Note: The console can display speed and distance in  
either miles or kilometers (see Speed Display on page  
13). For simplicity, all instructions in this userÕs manual  
refer to miles.  
¥ If you have heart problems, or if you are  
over 60 years of age and have been inactive,  
do not use the HEART RATE program. If you  
are taking medication regularly, consult  
your physician to find whether the medica-  
tion will affect your exercise heart rate.  
¥ To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep  
the console dry. Use only a sealed water  
bottle.

HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE PROGRAM  
The HEART RATE  
program automati-  
cally controls the  
speed and incline of  
the treadmill to keep  
your heart rate near  
a setting that you  
choose. The pro-  
gram is 60 minutes  
in length. Follow the steps below to use the HEART  
RATE program.  
Enter your age.

Conditioning Guidelines  
Determine your target heart rate.  
3
FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET  
Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at which  
you would like your heart to work during aerobic  
exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your  
maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximum  
number of times that your heart can pump during  
one minute. To determine your approximate MHR,  
subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only  
an estimation of your MHRÑonly clinical stress  
testing can provide an actual MHR reading.  
¥ Choose high-fiber, low-fat, and low-in-sugar  
foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.  
¥ Eat at least five servings of fruits and  
vegetables each day.  
¥ Cut back on red meat consumption; eat lean  
meat, white meat, and fish.  
¥ Choose healthy snacks; bring healthy foods  
with you to work or in the car.  
Once you have determined your MHR, you can  
establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning  
exercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of  
their MHR. This level is called the Health level.  
Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the  
optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular levelÑ  
the Fitness level. Advanced exercisers, or those  
wishing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or inter-  
val training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85  
percent of the MHR for short periods of time. The  
chart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones for  
Health, Fitness, and Advanced exercisers.  
¥ Eat regular meals or mini-meals. Control your  
portion sizeÑdon't binge or overeat. Eat  
slowly.  
¥ Reduce fast food and pre-packaged meals.  
¥ Pay attention to fat content and calories.  
¥ Limit alcoholic beverages and caffeine.  
¥ Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water a  
day.  
Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice  
during an aerobic conditioning session. First, check  
your heart rate five minutes into your workout to be  
sure that you are at the proper intensity. Then,  
check it again near the end of your workout to  
verify that you have maintained your target heart  
rate for the recommended period of time.  
EXERCISE STEPS  
The following 9 steps for designing your exercise  
program were developed by exercise physiologists at

Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for  
15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for  
both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back, and  
groin.  
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS  
At least four, 30-minute workouts per week,  
along with a reduced-calorie diet, are  
recommended if you are trying to lose weight.  
However, be sure to stay within your target heart  
rate zone and exercise a maximum of 5 days per  
week for 60 minutes per workout.  
4. Inner Thigh StretchÑSit with the soles of your  
feet together and your knees outward. Pull your  
feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold  
for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.  
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
Good posture is the key to safe, comfortable  
workouts. Keep your chin up and your head  
facing forward. Align your head and shoulders  
with your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your  
back straight.  
5. Quadriceps StretchÑWith one hand against a  
wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot  
with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to  
your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 to 30  
seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.  
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
Warm up before you begin.

A warm-up routine prepares your body and mind  
for vigorous exercise. It also provides insurance  
against injury and soreness. Warm up with two to  
five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal intensity.

Stretch after your warm-up.  
A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less susceptible  
to injury. Perform the recommended stretches on a  
smooth, flat surface.  
The correct form for several stretches is described  
below (refer to the drawings at the right). Be sure to  
move slowly as you stretchÑnever bounce.

BENEFITS OF AEROBIC EXERCISE  
to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in average  
physical condition should exercise for 20 to 30  
minutes. Highly fit people, or people who want to  
lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60 minutes.  
The key to the time factor is that you maintain your  
target heart rate for the duration of the workout  
period.  
¥ Effective weight loss and management  
¥ Added protection from heart disease  
¥ Increased strength and health of bones  
¥ Higher levels of energy for greater productivity  
during the day  
Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelong  
commitment. If you can't go the full 20 minutes  
from the start, which is common, try to exercise for  
five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day.  
Recent research indicates that several short  
workouts in one day can also provide fitness  
benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increase and  
it will become easier to exercise for longer periods  
of time.

Cool down after aerobic exercise.  
Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:  
frequency, intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT"  
may help you to remember these three parts:

Keep moving! It is important that you cool down  
properly to allow your heart rate to decrease slowly  
after it has been elevated. This helps the blood  
flow from your extremities back to your heart. Keep  
your legs moving on the treadmill at a slower pace  
for at least five minutes following the aerobic  
phase.

A strength-training program increases your lean  
muscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burning  
body fat. With additional muscle mass and  
strength, you will receive the full benefits of an  
exercise program. You will also be less prone to  
injuries during the aerobic phase of your workout.  
3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingersÑlet

and your heart rate has moved below your target heart  
rate zone.  
WORKOUT TIPS  
Full-body conditioning helps take care of many  
of life's aches and pains. However, it takes time  
for your body to adapt to any new routine. Below  
are some tips that will help ease you into your  
new NordicTrack routine.  
The Fitness level usually lasts 12 to 20 weeks. (It may  
last longer, depending on your fitness goals.) At this  
level you should strive to achieve your fitness goals.  
Set realistic short- and long-term goals for yourself.  
Frequently re-evaluate your fitness goals and reward  
yourself as you are successful.  
¥ Begin and end each exercise session with the  
stretches on page 23. Stretch in a smooth,  
controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to  
30 seconds. You may experience some initial  
muscle soreness and discomfort as a result of  
exercising inactive or poorly stretched  
Move on to the Advanced Level when you have  
reached your fitness goals and your heart rate has  
moved below your target heart rate zone.  
muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretching  
routine must be performed every day.  
Work out at the Advanced level once you have reached  
your desired fitness goals. It is intended to be a mainte-  
nance program and should continue on a regular, long-  
term basis.  
¥ Be aware of your body's signals and react to  
them accordingly. At your correct exercise  
intensity, you should be able to whistle or  
maintain a normal conversation. If during  
exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, or  
nauseated, stop exercising immediately and  
consult your physician. Your heart rate may  
also be affected by such things as stress,  
caffeine, nicotine or prescription drugs.  
You may wish to add Interval Training to your mainte-  
nance program as well. Interval training will add variety  
to your workout routine and further condition your  
cardiovascular system. Interval training has been  
shown to promote higher levels of aerobic conditioning.  
It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity followed by  
active rest periods of exercise at a lower intensity.  
For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resistance,  
fast exercise* is followed by a two- to three-minute  
active rest period of low-resistance, slow exercise. The  
duration of these periods should be based more on  
how you feel rather than time. A sequence such as this  
should be repeated 5 to 20 times during your workout  
session.  
WORKOUT PROGRAMS  
The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. At this  
level you should be concerned with slowly improving  
your fitness level and endurance.  
*Estimated maximum heart rate (MHR) = 220 - your age.  
Take it slowly. Set mini-goals for yourself. You may  
want to begin your fitness routine with three or four  
short, 5- or 10-minute workouts in a day.
