6. Follow your progress with the display.
When the
manual
mode is se-
lected, the
upper part of
the display
will show a
track that represents 1/4 mile (400 meters). As you
walk or run, indicators will appear in succession
around the track until the entire track appears. The
track will then disappear and the indicators will
again begin to appear in succession.
The left side of the dis-
play will show the
elapsed time, the dis-
tance that you have
walked or run, and the
incline level of the tread-
mill. Press the Display button repeatedly to view the
desired workout information. Note: When a heart
rate, weight loss, or classic workout is selected, the
display will show the time remaining in the workout
instead of the elapsed time.
The right side of the dis-
play will show the ap-
proximate number of
calories you have
burned, the speed of the
walking belt, and your
pace in minutes per mile. The right side of the dis-
play will also show your heart rate when you use
the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest
pulse sensor. Press the Display button repeatedly
to view the desired workout information.
To reset the display, press the Stop button, remove
the key, and then reinsert the key.
7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and
the optional chest pulse sensor at the same
time, the console will not display your heart
rate accurately. For information on the optional
chest pulse sensor, see page 20.
Before using the
handgrip pulse
sensor, remove
the sheets of
clear plastic from
the metal con-
tacts. In addition,
make sure that
your hands are
clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and place your hands on the metal contacts—
avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is de-
tected, the heart symbol in the display will begin to
flash each time your heart beats, one or two dashes
will appear, and then your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, con-
tinue to hold the contacts for at least 15 sec-
onds.
8. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan features high and low speed settings.
Press the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan
speed or to turn off the fan. Note: If the fan is on
when the walking belt is stopped, the fan will turn
off automatically after a few minutes.
9. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest
setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting
or you may damage the treadmill when you fold
it to the storage position. Next, remove the key
from the console and put it in a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch
the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and
unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do
not do this, the treadmillʼs electrical compo-
nents may wear prematurely.
