PROGRAMMABLE MODE OPERATION
In the programmable mode, the console will automati­
cally control either the speed of the walking belt or the
incline of the treadmill, according to programs you cre­
ate. Follow the four steps below to create a program.
1. Select the WALK, RUN or INCLINE Mode
Press №e MODE button repeatedly to select the WALK,
RUN or INCLINE mode. An Indicator will light to show
which mode you have selected.
If you select the WALK mode, the console will auto­
matically control the speed of the walking belt during
the program, and the speed range will be about 1 to 5
mph; if you select the RUN mode, the console will
automatically control the speed of №e walking belt, and
the speed range will be about 2 to 10 mph; if you
select the incline mode, the console will automatically
control the incline of the treadmill, and the incline range
will be 2% to 12%. Note: If you select the WALK or
RUN mode, the incline can be manually controlled dur­
ing the program by pressing the INCLINE buttons. If
you select the INCLINE mode, the speed can be con­
trolled by moving the manual speed control.
2. Program Eight Speed or Incline Settings
The program is divided into eight equal time periods,
called
segments. If you selected the WALK or RUN
mode, you should now program a different speed set­
ting for each of the segments, if you selected the
INCLINE mode, you should program a different incline
setting for each of the segments. The settings can be
programmed using the eight programmable controls on
the left side of the console {see the drawing below).
The programmable control numbered 1 is for the first
segment, the control numbered 2 is for the second
segment, the control numbered 3 is for the third seg­
ment, and so forth. Move each programmable control
up or down to program the desired speed or indine
setting. A sample program is shown above. This pro­
gram will begin with a low speed or incline setting. The
setting will then increase during the second and third
segments, decrease during the fourth segment.
increase during the fifth and sixth segments, and de­
crease during the seventh and eighth segments. An
infinite variety of settings can be programmed.
Note: The program should begin and end with low
settings to provide warm-up and cool-down peri­
ods. Do not set adjacent programmable controls
too far apart; If the speed changes too rapidly, you
may lose your balance and fall.
3. Set the Program Time
Press the TIME SET buttons to set the length of time
that you want tiie program to last. The length of time is
shown in the TIME display. Each time one of the but­
tons is pressed, the length of time will change by 4
minutes. The buttons can be held down to set the
length of time rapidly. The program can be set for a
minimum of 4 minutes, up to a maximum of 96 minutes.
4. Press the PROGRAM START Buttort
To start the program, press the PROGRAM START
button. The first segment indicator will begin to flash,
and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed
or incline setting of the first programmable control. (If
you selected the INCLINE mode, move the manual
speed control to the “resef position. Then, slide the
control to the right until the walking belt begins to
move.) Hold the handrails, step carefully onto the walk­
ing belt and begin exercising. The time remaining in
the program will be shown in the TIME display. When
one-eighth of the total length of time you set has
elapsed, the second segment indicator will begin to
flash, and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the
speed or incline setting of the second programmable
control. The program will continue in this manner until
the eighth segment indicator is flashing, and no time
remains in the TIME display. The walking belt wilt then
slow to a stop and the program will be completed.
Note: If you selected the WALK or RUN mode, the
incline of the treadmill can be controlled during the pro­
gram by pressing the INCLINE buttons. The speed of
the walking belt can be adjusted, if desired, by moving
the programmable control below the flashing segment
indicator. If you selected the INCLINE mode, the
speed of the walking belt can be controlled during the
program by moving the manual speed control. The
incline of the treadmill can be adjusted, if desired, by
moving the programmable control below the flashing
segment indicator.
If you wish to stop the program before the program has
been completed, press the MODE button. The console
will then be in the same state as if the program had
been completed. After the program is completed, the .
console can be switched to a different mode by repeat­
edly pressing the MODE button.
