Time/Incline/Segment
Time display—When
the manual mode or the
iFIT.com mode is se-
lected, this display will
show the elapsed time
and the incline level of the treadmill. The display
will change from one number to the other every
few seconds, as shown by the indicators beside
the display. When a personal trainer program or a
heart rate program is selected, the display will
show the time remaining in the program, the time
remaining in the current segment of the program,
and the incline level. Note: Each time the incline
changes, the display will show the current incline
setting for several seconds.
Distance/Laps
display—This display
shows the distance that
you have walked or run
and the number of 1/4-
mile laps you have com-
pleted. The display will change from one number
to the other every few seconds, as shown by the
indicator beside the display.
Speed/Min-Mile
display—This display
shows the speed of the
walking belt and your
current pace (pace is
measured in minutes per
mile). The display will change from one number to
the other every few seconds, as shown by the in-
dicators beside the display. Note: Each time the
speed changes, the display will show the current
speed setting for several seconds.
Note: When the Km/H in-
dicator is lit, the console
will display speed and
distance in kilometers;
when the Km/H indicator
is not lit, the console will
display speed and distance in miles. To change
the unit of measurement, first hold down the Stop
button while inserting the key into the console. An
“E” for English miles or an “M” for metric kilometers
will appear in the display. Press the Speed
but-
ton to change the unit of measurement. When the
desired unit of measurement is selected, remove
the key and then reinsert it.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
Measure your heart rate, if desired.
Note: When using the pulse sensor, make sure
that your hands are clean. The pulse sensor
should also be kept clean with a damp cloth and
mild detergent.
To measure your
heart rate, stand
on the foot rails
and place both
thumbs on the
pulse sensors as
shown. Do not
press too hard,
or the circulation
in your thumbs will be restricted and your
pulse will not be detected. Next, wait until the
heart-shaped indicator in the Calories/Fat
Calories/Heart Rate display flashes steadily. After
a few seconds, your heart rate will be shown. Hold
your thumbs on the sensor for another 15 seconds
for the most accurate reading.
If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high
or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift
your thumbs off the sensors and allow the display
to reset. Then, place your thumbs on the sensors
as described above. Try the pulse sensor several
times until you become familiar with it. Remember
to stand still while measuring your heart rate.
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 displays and various indi-
cators on the console remain lit after the key is
removed, the console is in the “demo” mode.
See page 21 and turn off the demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill, unplug
the power cord.
