CAUTION:
Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power.
• Always wear the clip (see the drawing at the
right) while operating the treadmill.
• Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
• If you have heart problems, or if you are over
60 years of age and have been inactive, do
not use the pulse-driven programs. If you
are taking medication regularly, consult your
physician to find whether the medication will
affect your exercise heart rate.
• To reduce the possibility of electric shock,
keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids
on the console and place only a sealed water
bottle in the water bottle holder.
