GETTING STARTED

Attach the clip to the waistband of your clothes.

Stand on the foot rails
of the treadmill. Find
the clip attached to the
key and slide the clip
onto the waistband of
your clothes. Next, in-
sert the key into the
console. Test the clip by carefully taking a few
steps backward until the key is pulled from the
console. If the key is not pulled from the con-
sole, adjust the position of the clip as needed.
Then, remove the key from the console.

Plug in the power cord.

See HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on
page 8.

Move the on/off switch to the on position.

Locate the on/off switch
on the treadmill near the
power cord. Move the
on/off switch to the on
position.

Insert the key fully into the console.

Stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Attach the
clip securely to the waistband of your clothes.
Next, insert the key into the console. After a
moment, various displays and indicators on the
console will light. Note: When the key is inserted,
the treadmill incline system may automatically
calibrate itself—the treadmill will rise to the highest
incline level and then return to the lowest incline
level. During calibration, the left side of the main
display will show two dashes (– –) and the time
indicator below the display will flash.

Enter your weight.

Although you can use the console without entering
your weight, the console will count the calories
you burn more accurately if you enter your weight.
To enter your weight, press either of the Enter
Weight buttons. The words “ENTER WEIGHT”

and the current weight setting will appear in the
main display. Press the Enter Weight buttons
again to enter your weight. The buttons can be
held down to enter your weight quickly. Four sec-
onds after the buttons are last pressed, the weight
setting will disappear from the display. Your weight
will then be saved in memory.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 11. To use a preset program,
see page 12. To create and use a custom program,
see pages 14 and 15. To use the fitness test program,

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 below)

while operating the treadmill.

• Adjust the speed in small increments in

order 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 program. If you are
taking medication regularly, consult your
physician to find whether the medication will
affect your exercise hart rate.

• Using hand weights and not holding the

handrails may compromise your ability to
maintain your balance. Hand weights should
be used only by experienced users.

• 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.
