CALORIES/FAT CAL-
ORIES/PULSE
displayÑThis display
shows the approximate
numbers of calories and
fat calories you have
burned. (See FAT
BURNING on page 14.) Every seven seconds, the
display will change from one number to the other,
as indicated by the mode arrows. This display also
shows your pulse when the pulse sensor is used
(see step 4).
The displays can be
reset, if desired, by
pressing the ON/RESET

Measure your pulse, if desired.
To measure
your pulse,
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 detected. Next, raise your thumb
slightly until the heart-
shaped indicator in
the pulse display
flashes steadily.
Hold your thumb at
this level. After a few
seconds, three
dashes will appear in
the display and your pulse will be shown. Hold your
thumb on the sensor for another 15 seconds for the
most accurate reading.
If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or too
low, or if your pulse is not displayed, lift your thumb
off the 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 pres-
sure to the pulse sensor. Try the sensor several
times until you become familiar with it. Remember to
stand still while measuring your pulse.
Adjust the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline,
press the top or bottom of
the incline control until the
desired incline level is
reached.
Turn off the power.
To turn off the power, simply wait for about four
minutes. If the walking belt is stationary and the
console buttons are not pressed for four minutes,
the power will turn off automatically.
