HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to
c
old temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before turning on the power. If you do not
d
o this, the console displays or other electrical
components may become damaged.
Plug in the power cord
(see page 11). Next, lo-
cate the reset/off circuit
breaker on the treadmill
frame near the power
cord. Switch the circuit
breaker to the reset po-
sition.
IMPORTANT: The console features a display demo
mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is dis-
played in a store. If the displays light as soon as
you plug in the power cord and switch the circuit
breaker to the reset position, the demo mode is
turned on. To turn off the demo mode, hold down
the Stop button for a few seconds. If the displays
remain lit, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page
18 to turn off the demo mode.
Next, stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the
clip attached to the key (see the drawing on page 12)
and slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothes.
Then, insert the key into the console. After a moment,
the displays will light. IMPORTANT: In an emergency
situation, the key can be pulled from the console,
causing the walking belt to slow to a stop. Test the
clip by carefully taking a few steps backward; if the
key is not pulled from the console, adjust the posi-
tion of the clip.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER above.

by 0.1 mph; if you hold down a button, the speed
setting will change in increments of 0.5 mph. Note:
After you press the buttons, it may take a moment for
the walking belt to reach the selected speed setting.
If you press one of the speed buttons numbered 1
through 10, the walking belt will gradually increase
in speed until it reaches the selected speed setting.
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.
The time will begin to flash in the Time/Pace dis-

cession.
