display. The words ENTER AGE and the current
age setting will then be shown (see step 4 below).

program, the matrix
will show a moving
graphic that repre-
sents your heart rate.
Each time a heart-

When the button is pressed, the main display will
show the words LEVEL 1, indicating that the first
four-minute level of the fitness test program has
begun. The incline of the treadmill will automati-
cally adjust to 3% and the walking belt will begin
to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and begin
walking.
The fitness test program is divided into seven,
four-minute levels. One speed setting and one in-
cline setting are programmed for each level.
At the end of each minute of the program, a tone
will sound; when the first four-minute level is com-
pleted, a tone will sound and the main display will
show the words LEVEL 2, indicating that the sec-
ond four-minute level has begun. The incline will
then change to 4% and the speed of the walking
belt will increase to 2.5 mph.
At the beginning of each four-minute level, the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati-
cally increase. The fitness test program will con-
tinue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70%
of your estimated maximum heart rate and the cur-
rent four-minute level is completed. The fitness
test program will then end, regardless of how
many levels remain.
When the fitness test program is completed, the
words COOL DOWN will be shown in the main dis-
play and a two-minute cool-down period will begin.
The speed and incline will then decrease.
When the cool-down period is completed, the
walking belt will slow to a stop and your fitness
level will be shown in the main display. There are
ten fitness levels; fitness level 10 is the highest.
