FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective. When
the manual mode of the console is selected, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with the
touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor
or the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 20 for in-
formation on the optional chest pulse sensor).
The console features four classic workouts and two
heart rate control workouts. Each workout automatically
controls the speed and incline of the treadmill as it
guides you through an effective workout.
In addition, the console offers two event training work-
outs—the 5K workout counts down from 5 kilometers
as you complete a 5-kilometer run, and the 10K work-
out counts down from 10 kilometers.
The console also features four weight loss workouts.
Each workout controls the speed and incline of the
treadmill to help you burn unwanted pounds.
Whether you select the manual mode or a workout,
you can listen to your favorite workout music or audio
books with the consoleʼs premium stereo sound system.

ual mode, see page 14. To use a heart rate workout,

IMPORTANT: If there are sheets of clear plastic on

age to the walking platform, wear clean athletic
shoes while using the treadmill. The first time you
use the treadmill, observe the alignment of the
walking belt, and center the walking belt if neces-
sary (see page 24).
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers. To find out which unit of
measurement is selected or to change the unit of mea-
surement, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page
