Each program is divided into eight equal time periods, called segments. The speed of the walking belt will change
automatically at the beginning of each segment, A speed setting should now be programmed for each of the eight
segments, using the eight programmable speed controls on the left side of the console. The control on the far left
is for the first segment, and the control on the right is for the eighth segment. Move the controls up or down to
program the desired speed settings. If the WALK mode was selected, refer to the scale above the WALK indica­
tor to program speed settings; if the RUN mode was selected, refer to the scale above the RUN indicator. A sam­
ple program is shown at the left. This program will begin with a slow speed setting. The speed will then increase
during the second, third and fourth segments, and gradually decrease during the sixth, seventh and eighth seg­
ments. An infinite variety of speed settings can be programmed.
Next, press the TIME SET buttons to set the length of time you want the program to last. Each time one of the but­
tons is pressed, the length of time, shown in the TIME display, will change by 4 minutes. The buttons can be held
down to set the length of time rapidly. The program can be set to last for a minimum of 4 minutes, up to a maxi­
mum of 96 minutes.
To start the program, press the START button. The first segment indicator will begin to flash, and after a pause the
walking belt will begin to move at the speed setting.of the first programmable speed control. The TIME display will
show the time remaining in the program. After one-eighth of the length of time you set has elapsed, the second
segment indicator will begin to flash, and the walking belt will change to the speed setting of the second program­
mable speed control. The program will continue in this manner until the length of time you set has elapsed. The
walking belt will then slow to a stop.
While the program is in progress, the speed of the walking belt can be changed during the current segment, if
desired, by moving the programmable speed control located below the flashing segment indicator. The walking belt
can be stopped white the program is in progress by pressing the MODE button or by removing the safety key from
the console. The console will then be in the same condition as if the program had been completed. After the pro­
gram is completed, the console can be switched to the manual mode by repeatedly pressing the MODE button.
CHANGING THE INCLINE
To vary the intensity of your exercise, the incline of the treadmill can
be changed using the foot incline knob on the right foot rail. Before
changing the incline, stop the walking belt. To increase the
incline, stand with your left foot towards the back of the left foot
rail. Using your right foot, press down the foot incline knob until the
desired incline is reached. To decrease the incline, stand with your
left foot towards the front of the left foot rail, and press down the
foot incline knob until the desired incline is reached.
LCD DISPLAY OPERATION
The four LCD displays provide continuous exercise feedback. The four displays are described below:
CALORIES—This display shows the approximate number of nutritional Calories that you have burned.
DISTANCE—This display shows the total distance that you have walked or run, up to 99.9 miles.
SPEED—This display shows the speed of the walking belt.
TIME—When the console is in the manual mode, this display will show the total time that the walking belt has been
moving. (If the treadmill is run for longer than 99 minutes and 59 seconds, the display will reset to zero and the
treadmill will slow to a stop.) If desired, a time goal can be set. To set a time goal, you must first stop the walking
belt. Next, press the TIME SET increase or decrease button. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the time
goal will change by 1 minute. The buttons can be held down to set a time goal rapidly. While the walking belt is
moving, the display will count down the time goal. When no time remains, the walking belt will slow to a stop. When
the console Is in the WALK mode or the RUN mode, the TIME display will show the time remaining in the program.
Note: The CALORIES, DISTANCE and TIME displays can be reset by removing and re-inserting the safety key.
