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
hands on the
metal contacts
on the handrail.
Your palms
must be resting
on the upper
contacts, and
your fingers must
be touching the
lower contactsÑ
avoid moving
your hands. When your heart rate is detected, the
heart-shaped indicator in the CALS/FAT CALS/
PULSE display will flash steadily and a ÒPÓ will ap-
pear in the display. After a few seconds, three
dashes will appear in the display and your heart
rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart
rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for
about 15 seconds.
Try the sensor several times until you become
familiar with it. Remember to stand still while mea-
suring your pulse.
