Insert the key fully into the power switch.
Note: The displays will
not turn on until the
on/reset button is
pressed or the walking
belt is started. (If you
just installed batteries,
the displays will
already be on.)
Reset the speed control.
Slide the speed control
down until it stops. Note:
Each time the walking
belt is stopped, the
speed control must be
moved to the lowest
position before the
walking belt can be
restarted.
Start the walking belt.
With the speed control in the lowest position,
slowly slide it upward until the walking belt begins
to move at slow speed. Carefully step onto the
walking belt and begin walking. Change the speed
of the walking belt as desired by sliding the speed
control.
To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails
and slide the speed control to the lowest position.
Follow your progress with the four displays.
Note: The console can display distance and speed
in either kilometres or miles (see page 10).
TIME display—This dis-
play shows the total time
that you have walked or
run on the treadmill.
DISTANCE display—This
display shows the total dis-
tance that you have
walked or run.
SPEED display—This dis-
play shows the speed of
the walking belt.
CALORIES/PULSE
display—This display
shows the approximate
numbers of calories
and fat calories you
have burned. (See FAT
BURNING 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.
To reset the displays,
press 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 sensor as
shown. The pulse
sensor is pressure-
activated—fully press
it down. Do not
press too hard, or
the circulation in your thumb will be restricted,
and your pulse will not be detected. Next, raise
your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator
in the 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 pulse
sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accu-
rate reading. If the displayed pulse appears to be
too high or too low, or if your pulse is not dis-
played, lift your thumb off the pulse 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
pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor
several times until you become familiar with it.
Remember to stand still whilst measuring your
pulse.
