Insert the key fully into the power switch.
Note: Inserting the key
will not turn on the dis-
plays. The displays will
turn on when the
ON/RESET button is
pressed or when the
walking belt is started. If
you just installed batteries, the displays will already
be on.
Reset the console and start the walking belt.
Slide the speed control to the
RESET position. Note: Each
time the walking belt is
stopped, the speed control
must be moved to the RESET
position before the walking
belt can be restarted.
Next, slowly slide the speed
control until the walking belt be-
gins to move at slow speed.
Carefully step onto the walking
belt and begin exercising.
Change the speed of the walk-
ing belt as desired by moving
the speed control.
To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and
slide the speed control to the RESET position.
Follow your progress with the four displays.
TIME display—This
display shows the
elapsed time.
DISTANCE display
This display shows the
distance that you have
walked or run, in miles.
SPEED display—This
display shows the speed
of the walking belt, in
miles per hour.
CALORIES/FAT
CALORIES/PULSE
display—This 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 button.
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 ac-
tivated—fully press it
down. Do not press
too hard, or the circu-
lation 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 pressure
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 con-
trol 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. Remove the
key from the console.
