Measure your heart rate if desired.
Before using
the handgrip
pulse sensor,
r
emove the
sheets of clear
plastic from the
metal contacts.
In addition,
make sure that
your hands are clean.
To measure your heart rate,
stand on the foot
rails and place your hands on the metal con-
tacts—
avoid moving your hands. When your
pulse is detected, the heart symbol in the display
will begin to flash each time your heart beats, one
or two dashes will appear, and then your heart
rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart
rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for
about 15 seconds.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
key.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest
setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting
when the treadmill is folded to the storage posi-
tion, or the treadmill will be damaged. Next, re-
move the key from the console and put it in a se-
cure place. Note: If the display remains lit after
the key is removed, the console is in the
“demo” mode. See page 17 and turn off the
demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill,
switch the on/off switch to the “off” position
and unplug the power cord.

elect a preset program.
To select one of the five
preset programs, press
the Program Select but-
ton repeatedly until
“P–1,” “P–2,” “P–3,”
“P–4,” or “P–5” appears
in the display. When a preset program is selected,
the maximum incline setting of the program and
the maximum speed setting of the program will
flash in the display for a few seconds. The display
will then show how long the program will last. A
profile of the
speed settings of the program will
scroll across the matrix in the upper right corner of
the display.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into 30 one-minute peri-
ods. One speed setting and one incline setting are
programmed for each period. Note: The same
speed setting and/or incline setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive periods.
The speed setting for
the first period will be
shown in the flashing
Current Period column
of the matrix in the dis-
play. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in the matrix.) The speed set-
tings for the next few periods will be shown in the
columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period
of the program, both the Current Period column
and the column to the right will flash and a series
of tones will sound. If the speed and/or incline of
the treadmill is about to change, the speed setting
and/or the incline setting will flash in the display to
alert you.
