Inserting the key will
not turn on the dis-

Note: If you just in-
stalled batteries, the displays will already be on.
Reset the speed control.
Slide the speed control
down to the RESET po-
sition. Note: Each time
the walking belt is
stopped, the speed
control must be moved
to the RESET position
before the walking belt
can be restarted.
Start the walking belt.
After you have moved the speed control to the
RESET position, slowly slide it upward until the
walking belt begins to move at slow speed.
Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin exer-
cising. Change the speed of the walking belt as de-
sired by sliding the speed control.
To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and
slide the speed control to the RESET position.
Follow your progress with the monitor displays.

CALORIES/FAT CAL-
ORIES/PULSE
display—This display
shows the approximate
numbers of calories and
fat calories you have
burned. (See FAT
CALORIES on page 14 for an explanation of fat
calories.) Every seven seconds, the display will
change from one number to the other. Arrows in the
display will indicate which number is currently
shown. Note: This display will also show your pulse
when the pulse sensor is used.
The displays can be
reset, if desired, by
pressing the ON/RESET
button.
Measure your pulse, if desired.
To use the pulse
sensor, stand on
the foot rails and
place your thumb
on the pulse sen-
sor as shown. The
pulse sensor is
pressure-activated;
fully press down
the pulse sensor. Do not press too hard, or the
circulation in your thumb will be restricted, and
your pulse will not be
detected. Next, slightly
raise your thumb until
the heart-shaped indica-
tor in the CALORIES/
FAT CALORIES/PULSE
display flashes steadily.
Hold your thumb at this
level. After 5 to 10 seconds, your pulse will be
shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for another
15 seconds for the most accurate reading. If the dis-
played pulse appears to be too high or too low, or if
your pulse is not displayed, lift your thumb off the
sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down
again on the sensor as described above.
Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown,
and that you are applying the proper amount of pres-
sure to the pulse sensor. Try the sensor several
times until you become familiar with it. Remember to
stand still while measuring your pulse.
