HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
Plug in the power cord (see page 9). Make sure
the circuit breaker is in the reset position (see
page 24)
Stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the clip
attached to the key (see the drawing on page 9)
and slide the clip onto the waistband of your
clothes. Next, insert the key into the console. After
a moment, the displays and various indicators will
light. Test the clip by carefully taking a few
steps backward until the key is pulled from the
console. If the key is not pulled from the con-
sole, adjust the position of the clip.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER above.
Select the manual mode.
When the key is in-
serted, the manual
mode will be selected
and the Manual Control
indicator will light. If a
program has been
selected, press the Program button repeatedly to
reselect the manual mode.
Press the Start button or the Speed
button to
start the walking belt.
A moment after the but-
ton is pressed, the
walking belt will begin to
move at 1 mph. Hold the
handrails and begin
walking. As you exer-
cise, change the speed of the walking belt as de-
sired by pressing the Speed
and
buttons.
Each time a button is pressed, the speed setting
will change by 0.1 mph; if a button is held down,
the speed setting will change in increments of 0.5
mph. To change the speed setting quickly, press
the Quick Speed buttons. Note: The console can
display speed and distance in either miles or
kilometers. For simplicity, all instructions in
this section refer to miles.
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.
The Time/Incline/Segment Time display will begin
to flash. To restart the walking belt, press the Start
button or the Speed
button.
Note: During the first few minutes that the treadmill
is used, inspect the alignment of the walking belt,
and align it if necessary (see page 25).
Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of
the treadmill, press the
Incline buttons. Each time
a button is pressed, the
incline will change by
0.5%. Note: After the but-
tons are pressed, it may take a moment for the
treadmill to reach the selected incline setting.
Follow your progress with the displays.
The program display
When the manual mode
or the iFIT.com mode is
selected, the program
display will show a track
representing 1/4 mile. As
you exercise, the indica-
tors around the track will light in sequence until you
have completed 1/4 mile. A new lap will then
begin.
Calories/Fat Calories/
Heart Rate display
This display shows the
approximate numbers of
calories and fat calories
you have burned (see
FAT BURNING on page 26). The display will
change from one number to the other every few
seconds, as shown by the indicators beside the
display. The display will also show your heart rate
when you use the thumb pulse sensor (see step 6
on page 12) or the optional chest pulse sensor
(see page 21).
