Nautilus® Sport Series Treadmill Owner’s Manual

HEART RATE MONITORING

Heart rate monitoring helps you monitor your level of exertion by displaying your heart

rate during exercise. There are two methods of monitoring heart rate on the Sport Series

treadmills:

• Telemetry (e.g., Polar®) belt. The wireless heart rate chest belt supplied with your

treadmill transmits the heart beat signal to the receiver in the treadmill. The display

shows the heart rate in beats per minute and uses the heart rate value in heart rate

control mode. (See Programming Instructions for more information)

• Contact heart rate (T518 Model Only). Sensors on the hand grip detect heart rate and

display it on the controller.

TELEMETRY HEART RATE

The telemetry heart rate monitoring system consists of the receiver, located in the treadmill, and a transmitter belt worn

across your chest. The monitoring function is activated as soon as you strap on the transmitter belt and step within range

of the receiver in the machine. Two electrodes on the underside of the transmitter belt sense the heart rate signal and

send it to the receiver. On the LC Display, the heart symbol on the display pulses to indicate that the display is receiving

a valid signal. On the LE-X, the far right decimal point on the top row of displays pulses to indicate that the display is

receiving a valid signal (when the HR statistic is selected and shown on the display). A microprocessor in the controller

calculates the heart rate and shows it, in beats per minute, on the display.

USING YOUR TRANSMITTER BELT

Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap. Before you put the transmitter belt on, wet the two electrode patches (the

grooved area on the reverse side of the belt). Secure the transmitter belt as high under the pectoral muscles (chest) as is

comfortable. The transmitter belt should ﬁ t snugly and comfortably, and allow normal breathing.

After the initial heart rate signal is detected, the display will enter a

validation phase in which four good heart beat signals lasting four

seconds are required before locking on telemetry heart rate signals

for the duration of the workout session.

If your heart rate is not being displayed, try the following:

• Move closer to the display.

• Tighten the elastic band on the transmitter belt.

• Adjust the belt higher or lower on your chest.

• Remoisten the electrodes.

• Test your transmitter belt with a machine that you know is working, or with a heart rate watch that you know is

working.

This treadmill is compatible with most major chest belt brands, including brands that employ coded signal technology.

Telemetry (e.g., Polar®) belt.

Pacemaker users should not use

the telemetry transmitter without

ﬁ rst consulting with their doctor.

13 HEART RATE MONITORING

HEART RATE MONITORING

MAINTAINING THE TRANSMITTER BELT

Clean the chest belt regularly with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly — residual sweat and moisture keeps the

transmitter active and will drain the battery in the transmitter. Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or

alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the electrodes permanently. The supplied chest belts use a sealed battery and

are non-replaceable. Batteries in a chest belt will last on average for 1500-2000 hours of use. Replacement belts can be

purchased from an Authorized Nautilus® Fitness Retailer.

CONTACT HEART RATE (MODEL T518 ONLY)

Through the use of stainless steel sensors built into the handle bar and using sophisticated software, heart rate can be

checked at any time during a workout. As with the wireless telemetry chest belt, the heart rate is shown on the display in

the same manner.

The contact heart rate system’s ability to detect a heart rate signal is inﬂ uenced by several factors. Movement of the

muscles of the upper body produces an electrical signal that will interfere with the detection of the heart rate signal by

the sensors. Movement of the hands while they are in contact with the sensors also produces interference. For this

reason users should avoid moving their hands while using the contact heart rate grips. For reasons of safety it is also

recommended that users not use the contact heart rate feature while walking or running. Instead, use the telemetry

chest belt method. Calluses and hand lotion act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength. Also, the EKG signal

generated by some individuals is not strong enough to be detected by the sensors. These individuals should opt for the

telemetry method of heart rate monitoring.

Contact heart rate input signals are acquired only during contact between your hands and the stainless steel sensors on

the handrails. To use the contact heart rate feature, place your hands around the handles so that your hands touch both

the top and the bottom of the sensors. After the initial contact heart rate signal is detected, the controller will enter a

validation phase requiring a good heart beat signal within 10 to 15 seconds, or until the system acquires a valid signal.

During the validation phase the display will not recognize telemetry heart rate signals. If, during exercise, the heart rate

displayed is erratic, it may be helpful to remove your hands from the handles, wipe them and place them back on the

handles.

Nautilus® Sport Series Treadmill Owner’s Manual

TREADMILL DISPLAY DEFINITIONS

The following describes the display functions and speciﬁ cations on the Sport Series treadmills.

Incline — The treadmill incline is displayed as a percentage of elevation. The Sport Series treadmills have an incline

range of 0 to 15%.

Time — The selected workout time is displayed in the center of the lower display window on the LE-X and LC displays.

In the Time Based workouts, the timer will count down to 0:00 from the preset time you have selected. In Distance

Based programs, HRC Weight Loss and HRC Cardio, the timer will count up. The timer will also count up if START is

pressed without selecting a workout program (this is a QUICK START).

Speed — The treadmill speed is displayed in miles per hour (or kilometers per hour). The Sport Series treadmills have a

speed operation range of 0.5 mph to 12 mph (0.8 kph to 19.2 kph). For safety reasons you may also limit the maximum

speed in the Management Menu.

Heart Rate — Current heart rate is displayed in beats per minute.

Percentage of Maximum Heart Rate — An approximation of maximal heart rate is calculated by subtracting the user’s

age from 220. Percentage of maximum heart rate will only be shown in HRC programs or when a user selects their name

in the My Nautilus™ menu since these are the only times the user’s age is known. My Nautilus™ software is a ﬁ tness

cartridge feature that is sold separately (see Fitness Cartridge section in the owner’s manual).

Example:

User is 40 years of age:

220 – 40 (age) = 180 — 180 Beats per minute would be the approximate maximum heart rate for a 40-year-old

user.

180 x 75%= 135 — 135 Beats per minute would be the heart rate of a 40 year old user exercising at 75% of their

maximum heart rate.

(See the Heart Training programs for more information.)

Distance — Provides a cumulative total of the equivalent distance, in miles (or kilometers if your display is set to metric

units), you have traveled.

Calories — Provides a current total of the number of calories burned during a workout. Note: This number is only

an approximation as a user’s caloric expenditure will vary signiﬁ cantly based on a person’s age, gender, weight and

metabolism.

15 DISPLAY FUNCTIONS

TREADMILL DISPLAY DEFINITIONS

Calories/Hour — Provides the rate at which calories are burned per hour at the current speed and incline. Note: This

number is only an approximation as a user’s caloric expenditure will vary signiﬁ cantly based on a person’s age, gender,

weight and metabolism.

Pace — Displays the walking/running pace in minutes per mile (or minutes per kilometer). This time displayed is the time

it will take you to complete one mile at your current rate. Pace is shown in the Time display for 4 seconds anytime speed

is modiﬁ ed using the SPEED UP/DOWN keys. For speeds less than 0.7 mph (1.0 kph), Pace is displayed in the format

000 where Pace is expressed in minutes only (no seconds). For speeds greater than or equal to 0.7 mph (1.0 kph), Pace

is displayed in the format 00:00 where Pace is expressed as minutes and seconds.

Watts — During a workout, this statistic displays the power output at the current speed and incline, displayed in watts

(746 watts = 1 hp).

METs — Gives you the relative energy cost of exercise. MET stands for multiples of the resting metabolic rate. While you

are sitting quietly, your body consumes oxygen at the rate of about 3.5 milliliters per kilogram of body mass per minute.

When you exercise, your body needs more oxygen in order to function. For example, exercising at 10 METs requires ten

times the resting rate of oxygen consumption, or about 35 milliliters per kilogram per minute.

Workout Proﬁ le — The dot-matrix area of the display shows the actual course proﬁ le of the selected exercise program.

The taller the column, the higher the incline and/or speed for that interval. The ﬂ ashing column shows your current

interval.

Nautilus® Sport Series Treadmill Owner’s Manual

TREADMILL KEY FUNCTIONS

Start Key — This key starts the walking belt with a gradual increase to the default start speed of the workout program

selected. You can also use this key to Quick-Start a workout session. This allows you to bypass entering in information

and simply starts the treadmill belt at a speed of 1.0 mph (1.6 kph).

Stop Key — During a workout, pressing the STOP Key once will stop the walking belt and bring the treadmill to the

Pause Mode. This allows you to interrupt your workout to answer a phone, get a drink of water, etc. Pressing the START

Key twice will resume your workout.

If the STOP Key is pressed twice, all workout data will be erased and treadmill will return to the Standby Mode. In this

case, all data will be reset to zero.

Pressing the STOP Key a third time will turn off all displays and treadmill will return to Sleep Mode.

Enter Key — Conﬁ rms information selections and stores the information used to calculate workout statistics.

Incline Up & Down Keys — The treadmill incline may be changed at any time during a workout. Pressing the INCLINE

UP key increases the incline and pressing the INCLINE DOWN key decreases the incline. The treadmill incline increases

or decreases in increments of 0.5%.

Speed Faster & Slower Key — The treadmill belt speed may be changed at any time during a workout. Pressing the

LE-X DISPLAY PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND SETUP

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Sport Series treadmills have a wide variety of programming options with a great amount of ﬂ exibility to allow anyone

of any ﬁ tness level to use. The program menu is comprised of six different categories of programs detailed below.

Time or Distance Goal Program — These are manually operated programs in which you have complete control

over your speed and incline.

Time Based Programs — These are programs in which you determine your desired workout time and the program’s

24 workout segments are equally divided by this time.

Interval Training Programs — These programs are also time based but with greater variation in speed and higher

inclines. These programs will be a bit more challenging.

Distance Based Program — This program has a predetermined distance allowing you to increase or decrease your

workout time depending on your speed.

Heart Rate Control Programs — These programs use your heart rate to automatically regulate your workout

intensity. (Note: Your heart rate chest strap must be worn to perform these workout programs.)

Custom Workouts — For added variety you can create and store your personal workouts.
