Measure your heart rate, if desired.
To measure
your heart rate,
stand on the
foot rails and
place your
hands on the
metal contacts
on the pulse
sensor. Your
palms must be
resting on the
upper contacts,
and your fingers
must be touching the lower contactsÑavoid mov-
ing your hands. When your pulse is detected, the
heart-shaped indicator will flash steadily and
three dashes (Ñ Ñ Ñ) will appear in the CALO-
RIES/PULSE display. After a few seconds, your
heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, continue to hold the con-
tacts for about 15 seconds.
When you are finished exercising, press the
STOP button and remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails, press the STOP button,
and remove the key from the console. Keep the
key in a secure place. Note: If the displays and
various indicators on the console remain lit
when the key is removed, the console is in the
ÒdemoÓ mode. Refer to page 11 and turn off the
demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill, unplug
the power cord and move the on/off switch to the
off position.
HOW TO USE THE WORKOUT PROGRAMS
Insert the key into the console.
A moment after the key is inserted, the four dis-
plays and various indicators on the console will
light.
Press the PROGRAM button to select a work-
out program.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be
selected, as shown by the MANUAL CONTROL
indicator. To select one of the workout programs,
press the PROGRAM button repeatedly until one
of the four program indicators lights.
Each workout program will automatically control
the speed and incline of the treadmill to give you
an effective workout. The graphs on the left side
of the console show how the speed and incline
will change during each programÑthe red lines
show how the speed will change and the white
lines show how the incline will change. The num-
bers at the right end of each graph show the maxi-
mum speed and incline that the treadmill will
reach during the program. The scale below the
graphs shows how long each program will last.
Refer to the upper graph. This graph shows that
when the first program is selected, the speed and
incline will gradually increase during the first half
of the program and then gradually decrease dur-
ing the last half. The speed will reach a maximum
of 4 mph and the incline will reach a maximum of
8% during the program. The scale shows that the
program will last for twenty minutes.
