HOW TO USE PERSONAL TRAINER PROGRAMS
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
11.
Select one of the personal trainer programs.
When the key
is inserted, the
manual mode
will be se-
lected. To se-
lect a personal
trainer pro-
gram, press the Program button repeatedly until
one of the four personal trainer program indicators
lights. When a personal trainer program is se-
lected, the Time/Incline/Segment Time display will
flash the maximum incline setting for the program
for six seconds, and the Speed/Min-mile display
will flash the maximum speed setting.
The four profiles on the right side of the console
show how the speed and incline of the treadmill
will change during the programs. The numbers
beside the profiles show the maximum speed and
incline settings for the programs.
The program display
will show the first four
speed settings for the
program. The Time/
Incline/Segment Time
display will show how
long the program will
last.
Press the Start button or the Speed
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 for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. (The Time/Incline/
Segment Time display will show both the time re-
maining in the program and the time remaining in
the current segment.) One speed setting and one
incline setting are programmed for each segment.
(The same speed setting and/or incline setting may
be programmed for con-
secutive segments.) The
speed setting for the
first segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the program dis-
play. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in the program display.) The
speed settings for the next four segments will be
shown in the four columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and a
tone will sound. In addition, if the speed and/or
incline of the treadmill is about to change, the
Speed/Min-mile display and/or the Time/Incline/
Segment Time display will flash to alert you, and
three tones will sound. When the first segment is
completed, all speed settings will move one col-
umn to the left. The speed setting for the second
segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column and the treadmill will au-
tomatically adjust to the speed and incline settings
for the second segment. Note: If all of the indica-
tors in the Current Segment column are lit after the
speed settings have moved to the left, the speed
settings will move downward so that only the high-
est indicators appear in the LED matrix. If some of
the indicators in the Current Segment column are
not lit when the speed settings move to the left
again, the speed settings will move back up.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and no time remains in
the Time/Incline/Segment Time display. The walk-
ing belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting for the current
segment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Speed or
Incline buttons. Every few times one of the Speed
buttons is pressed, an additional indicator will light
or darken in the Current Segment column. If any of
the columns to the right of the Current Segment
column have the same number of lit indicators as
the Current Segment column, an additional indica-
tor may light or darken in those columns as well.
Important: When the current segment of the
program ends, the treadmill will automatically
adjust to the speed and incline settings for the
next segment.
