CONSOLE OPERATION
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effec-
tive and enjoyable.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a
touch of a button. As you exercise, large LED displays
will provide continuous exercise feedback. The con-
sole even includes a built-in telephone that allows you
to answer or make calls without leaving the treadmill.
The console also offers four preset workout programs.
One program automatically controls the incline of the
treadmill and the other three programs control the
speed of the treadmill as they guide you through effec-
tive workouts. You can even create your own workout
programs and store them in the console’s memory for
future use.
The SOFTSTRIDER™ also features exclusive
Personal Trainer programs. Simply mail the included
personal profile to E-Coach
®
, and a personal trainer
will provide you with instructions for activating a work-
out program designed to help you reach your specific
fitness goals.
An optional pulse kit adds even more features to the
treadmill. The kit includes a state-of-the-art chest strap
pulse monitor, a receiver, and a plug-in pulse module.
After easy installation of the pulse kit, an LED
display will track your heart rate throughout your
workouts. The pulse kit also includes three additional
workout programs: the Fat Burn program for intensive
fat-burning workouts, the Aerobic program for maxi-
mum cardiovascular benefits, and the unique Fitness
Test program that measures your relative
fitness level. To purchase the optional pulse kit,
refer to the card accompanying the treadmill.
Note: If there is a thin layer of clear plastic on the face
of the console, remove it before using the console.
CAUTION:Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power or starting the walking belt.
• Always wear the clip (see H above) while
operating the treadmill. If the key is pulled
from the console, the walking belt will stop.
• The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep
the console dry, avoid spilling liquids on the
console, and use only a sealed water bottle.
