How to Use the CardioTrack TM 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.
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.
_ Chest Strap
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.
2. Wrap the
heart rate
monitor
around your
chest and
attach the
other end of
the chest
strap to the
transmitter.
Adjust the
length of the
" chest strap, if necessary. The heart rate monitor
should be under your clothing, against your skin,
and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts
as is comfortable. Make sure that the NordicTrack
logo is facing forward and is right-side-up.
3. Pull the transmitter away lrom 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.
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The instructions on pages 11 to 17 of this user's
manual explain how the heart rate monitor is used
with the console. If the letters "PLS" 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.
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.
2. Make sure that the NordlcTrack logo on the trans-
mitter is facing forwards and is right-side-up.
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.
4,
As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
serf near the center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm's length of the console.
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.
6.
The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If [tis suspected that
magnetic interference may be causing a problem,
try relocating the treadmill.
7. If the heart rate monitor still does not function
properly, test it by having another person try it.
8. The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 9).
8
HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate moni-
tor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off when it
is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the
heart rate monitor is not dried after each use, it may
remain activated longer than necessary.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do notexpose
the heart rate monitor to temperatures above 122°
Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit
(-10 ° Celsius).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the transmitter
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
• Clean the transmitter using water and mild soap--
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The
chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.
If the heart rate monitor
does not function prop-
erly, the CR 2032 bat-
tary may need to be
replaced. To replace the
battery, locate the bat-
tery cover on the back of
the transmitter. Insert a
coin into the slot in the
cover and turn the cover counterclockwise to the
"open" position. Remove the cover.
Remove the old battery
and insert a new CR
2032 battery, making
sure that the battery is
turned so the writing is
on top. In addition, make
sure that therubber gas-
ket is in place in the
transmitter. Replace the
battery cover and turn it
to the closed position.

Operation and Adjustment
THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE TM, 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.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's 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 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.
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.
This product isfor 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.

Metal Screw
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.

Conditioning Guidelines
The following 9 steps for designing your exercise
program were developed by exercise physiologists at
NordicTrack. The actual exercise you perform is only
a part of a safe and effective training program. There
are many other aspects to developing a fife-tong
commitment to physical fitness.
U Consult your physician before beginning
any exercise program.
A medical examination or consultation with your
physician is essential.
B Establish personal fitness goals.
Set attainable, realistic goals, Reward yourself
when you meet those goals. Remember, your
goals should act as a guide for your workout
. program.
Determine your target heart rate.
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 dudng
one minute. To determine your approximate MHR,
subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only
an estimation of your MHR-_on]y clinical stress
testing can provide an actual MHR reading.
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 level--
the Fitness ]evel. 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.
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.

_1] 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, )_t minimal intensity.
B
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 isdescribed
below (refer to the drawings Jatthe right). Be sure to
move slowly as you stretch--_ever bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch--Sit with your knees bent
slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips.
Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach toward your toes as f_ras possible. Hold for
15 to 30 seconds, then relax.:jRepeat 3 times.
Stretches: Hamstrings, ba'bk;of _n_,_s, and back.
2. Calf/Achilles Stretch_W_'_h one leg in front of
the other, reach forward and place your hands
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and
your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg,
lean forward, and move your hips toward the wall.
Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. To cause further stretching of
the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well.
Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons, and ankles.
3. Hamstring Stretch--Sit with one leg extended.
Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and
rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.
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.
4. Quadriceps Stretch_With 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.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch--Sit with the soles of your
feet together and youi" knees outward. Pull your
feettoward your groin area as far as possible. Hold
for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

Get FIT with the PowerTread 2000.
Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:
frequency, intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT"
may help you to remember these three parts:
B
[]"F" stands for the frequency of your workouts.
Three to five workouts per week are recom-
mended. Exercise at least four times a week for
weight loss.
"1"refers to the intensity of your workout.
Check your heart rate at least twice during
your aerobic exercise session: once during the
session and once again at the end. Maintain a
workout intensity level within your Target Heart
Rate Zone. You can measure your heart rate using
the heart rate monitor. An alternate method is
described below:
1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. This will
make your heart rate stronger and easier to feel.
[]'q-" is for the time or duration ofyour workout.
Beginning exercisers may wish to start with 5
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.
2. Using the
index and
middle fingertips
of your right
hand, touch your
left wrist, one-
fourth inch from
your wrist joint,
at the base of
your thumb.
3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingers--let
. the beat come to your fingers. If you can't find your
pulse, use the opposite wrist and hand.
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.
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.
[]Stretch again at the end of your exercise
session.
Stretching after exercise reduces muscle soreness.
See step 5 on page 27.
Participate in strength training.
"Balanced fitness, including both strength training
and aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure a
happy life than just about anything else known to
medical science today."
--Kenneth Cooper, M.D., M.P.H., founder of The
Cooper Institute For Aerobic Research, Dallas,
Texas.
A strength-training program increases your lean
muscle mass. Lear) 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.

MoveontotheFitnessLevelonlywhenyoufeelready
andyourheartratehasmovedbelowyourtargetheart
ratezone.
TheFitness 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.
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.
°
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.
The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. At this
level you should be concerned with slowly improving
your fitness level and endurance.
You may wish to add Interval Trainingto 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.
*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 1O-minute worko_Jts;|ri'a day.
