4. Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the
I
ncline increase or decrease button. Each time you
press the Incline increase or decrease button, the
i
ncline will change by 0.5%. Note: After you press
an incline button, it may take a moment for the
treadmill to reach the selected incline setting.
5. Select a display mode and monitor your
progress with the display.
When the manual mode is selected, the console
offers two display modes. Press the Display button
repeatedly to select the desired display mode.
As you walk or run on the treadmill, the display can
show the following workout information:
A 1/4-mile (400 meter) track.
The number of laps you have completed.
The elapsed time.
The distance that you have walked or run.
The approximate number of calories you have
burned.
The incline level of the treadmill.
The speed of the walking belt.
Regardless of which display mode you select, the
speed or incline setting will appear in the display
for a few seconds each time you change the set-
ting. In addition, your heart rate will appear in the
display each time you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor or the optional chest pulse sensor.
To reset the console, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and
t
he optional chest pulse sensor at the same
time, the display will not show your heart rate
a
ccurately. See page 19 for information on the op-
tional chest pulse sensor.
Before using the
handgrip pulse
sensor, remove
the sheets of
clear plastic from
the metal con-
tacts on the pulse
bar. In addition,
make sure that
your hands are clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on the
metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When
your pulse is detected, a heart symbol will flash in
the display each time your heart beats and then
your heart rate will be shown. For the most accu-
rate heart rate reading, continue to hold the
contacts for about 15 seconds.
7. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
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 set-
ting or you may damage the treadmill when you
fold it to the storage position. Next, remove the
key from the console and put it in a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch
the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and
unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do
not do this, the treadmillʼs electrical compo-
nents may wear prematurely.
