Follow your progress with the four displays.
Distance display—This
display shows the total
distance that you
have walked or run.
Time/pulse
display—When the
manual mode is
selected, this display
shows the elapsed
time. When one of the
preset programs is selected, the display will show
the time remaining in the program. Note: This dis-
play will also show your heart rate when you use
the pulse sensor (see step 7).
Speed display—This
display shows the
speed of the walking
belt, in miles per hour
or kilometers per hour.
An MPH or a KPH will
appear in the display to show which unit of mea-
surement is selected.
To change the unit of measurement, hold down the
start/stop button while inserting the key into the
console. An “E” for “English” (miles per hour) or an
“M” for “Metric” (kilometers per hour) will appear in
the Distance display. Press the speed
button to
change the unit of measurement. Remove and then
reinsert the key.
Cals./fat cals. display—
This display shows the
approximate numbers
of calories and fat calo-
ries you have burned
(see FAT BURNING on
page 16 for an explana-
tion of fat calories). Every seven seconds, the dis-
play will change from one number to the other. An
“F” will appear in the display when the number of
fat calories is shown.
Measure your heart rate, if desired.
Stand on the
foot rails and
place your
hands on the
metal con-
tacts on the
handrail. Your
palms must
be resting on
the upper contacts, and your fingers must be touch-
ing the lower contacts—avoid moving your hands
while measuring your heart rate. After a moment, a
“P” and three dashes “– – –” will appear in the
time/pulse display and your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading,
continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.
When you are finished, remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails and remove the key from the
console. Store the key in a secure place. In addi-
tion, move the on/off switch to the off position. (See
the drawing on page 9.)
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Make sure to stand on the foot rails and avoid moving
your hands while measuring your heart rate.
Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate
readings. If the pulse sensor is not used correctly,
your heart rate will not be shown.
Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for
about 15 seconds.
For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep
the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
