Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the
incline buttons. Each time one of the buttons is
pressed, the incline will change by 0.5%. The but-
tons can be held down to change the incline rapidly.
Note: In the incline display, the first indicator will
light when the incline is set at 1.5%. The second
indicator will light when the incline is set at 2% or
2.5%, the third indicator will light when the incline
is set at 3% or 3.5%, and so forth. After the incline
buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the
treadmill to reach the selected incline setting.
Follow your progress with the LED track and
the four displays.
The LED TrackÑ
The LED track rep-
resents a distance
of 1/4 mile. As you
exercise, the indi-
cators around the
track will light one
at a time until you
have completed 1/4 mile. A new lap will then begin.
DISTANCE/LAPS
displayÑThis display
shows the distance that
you have walked or run
and the number of laps
you have completed (one
lap equals 1/4 mile). The display will alternate
between one number and the other every seven
seconds, as shown by the arrows in the display.
TIME/PACE displayÑ
This display shows the
elapsed time and your cur-
rent pace (pace is mea-
sured in minutes per mile).
Your pace will be shown
for a few seconds each time the speed is adjusted.
SPEED displayÑThis
display shows the speed
of the walking belt, in
miles per hour or kilome-
ters per hour. The letters
ÒMPHÓ or ÒKPHÓ will ap-
pear to show which unit of measurement is selected.
To change the unit of
measurement, hold down
the STOP/RESET button
while inserting the key
into the console. An ÒE,Ó
for english miles, or an
ÒM,Ó for metric kilometers, will appear in the DIS-
TANCE/LAPS display. Press the SPEED
button
to change the unit of measurement. Remove and
then reinsert the key.
CALS/FAT CALS/
PULSE displayÑThis
display shows the ap-
proximate numbers of
calories and fat calories
you have burned (see
FAT BURNING on page 14). Every seven sec-
onds, the display will change from one number to
the other, as shown by the arrows in the display.
This display will also show your heart rate when
the pulse sensor is used (see step 5).
Measure your pulse, if desired.
Stand on the
foot rails and
place your
thumb on the
pulse sensor as
shown. The
pulse sensor is
pressure-
activatedÑfully
press it down.
Do not press
too hard, or the
circulation in
your thumb will
be restricted, and your pulse will not be de-
tected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the
heart-shaped indicator in the CALS/FAT CALS/
PULSE display flashes steadily and a ÒPÓ appears
in the display. Hold your thumb at this level. After a
few seconds, three dashes will appear in the dis-
play and your heart rate will be shown. Hold your
thumb on the sensor for another 15 seconds for
the most accurate reading.
