FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The revolutionary PROFORM 785 TL offers an impres-
sive array of features designed to make your workouts
more enjoyable and effective.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a
touch of a button. As you exercise, the integral color
TV will show your favorite television programs while
displaying instant exercise feedbackÑyou can view
the elapsed time, speed, distance, incline, and num-
bers of calories and fat calories burned. In addition, the
console offers seven preset workout programs. Each
program is designed to automatically control either the
speed or the incline of the treadmill as it guides you
through an effective workout.
Complete instructions for operating the color TV are
found in the section beginning on page 16 of this man-
ual. To operate the console with the TV, read the in-
structions on pages 11 to 15.

erate properly, an antenna, a CATV cable, or a VCR
