HOW TO USE SPEED AND INCLINE PROGRAMS
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
10.
Select one of the speed and incline programs.
To select a
speed and in-
cline program,
press one of the
twelve speed
and incline pro-
gram buttons.
The indicator on
the button that you press will light. When a speed
and incline program is selected, the Speed display
will flash the maximum speed setting of the pro-
gram for a few seconds, and the Distance/Incline
display will flash the maximum incline setting. The
Pace/Time display will show how long the pro-
gram will last.
The matrix will show
the first seven speed
settings of the program.
Note: The diagrams on
the speed and incline
program buttons show
how the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill will change during the speed
and incline programs. For example, the diagram
on the upper left button shows that the speed will
gradually increase during the first half of the pro-
gram and then gradually decrease during the last
half; the incline will remain constant.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One speed setting and
one incline setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same speed setting and/or in-
cline setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.
The speed setting for the
first segment is shown in
the flashing Current
Segment column of the
matrix. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in
the matrix.) The speed
settings for the next
seven segments are
shown in the seven columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and a
series of tones will sound. If the speed and/or in-
cline of the treadmill is about to change, the Speed
display and/or the Distance/Incline display will
flash to alert you. When the first segment ends,
all
speed settings will move one column to the left.
The speed setting for the second segment will then
be shown in the flashing Current Segment column
and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the
speed and incline settings for the second segment.
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment
column are lit after the speed settings have moved
to the left,
the speed settings may move downward
so that only the highest indicators appear in the
matrix. If some of the indicators in the Current
Segment column are not lit when the speed set-
tings move to the left again, the speed settings will
move back up.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Speed or
Incline buttons. Every few times a Speed button is
pressed, an additional indicator will light or darken
in the Current Segment column. (If any of the
columns to the right of the Current Segment col-
umn have the same number of lit indicators as the
Current Segment column, an additional indicator
may light or darken in those columns as well.)
Note: When the next segment of the program
begins, the treadmill will automatically adjust
to the speed and incline settings for the next
segment.
