PROGRAMMODE OPERATION
When the console is in the program mode, the console willautomatically control either the speed of the walking
belt or the incline of the treadmill, according to programs you create. To create a program, first press the MODE
button repeatedly to select the WALK, RUN or INCLINE mode. An indicator will light to show which mode you
have selected. If the WALK mode is selected, the console will control the speed of the walking belt during the pro-
gram, and the speed range will be about 1 to 5 miles per hour; if the RUN mode is selected, console will control
the speed of the walking belt during the program, and the speed range will be about 2 to 10 miles per hour; if the
incline mode is selected, the console will control the incline of the treadmill during the program, and the incline
range will be 2% to 12%.
Each program is divided into eight equal time periods, called segments. The speed or incline of the treadmill will
change automatically at the beginning of each segment. If the WALK or RUN mode was selected, a speed setting
should now be programmed for each of the eight segments. If the INCLINE mode was selected, an incline setting
should now be programmed for each of the eight segments. Settings are programmed using the eight program-
mable controls on the left side of the console. The control on the far left is for the first segment, and the control on
the far right is for the eighth segment. Move the controls up or down to program the desired speed or incline set-
tings. A sample program is shown on page 8. This program will begin with a low speed or incline setting. The
speed or incline setting will then increase during the second and third segments, decrease during the fourth seg-
ment, increase during the fifth and sixth segments, and decrease during the seventh and eighth segments. An
infinite variety of settings can be programmed. Note: Do not set adjacent programmable controls too far
apart; if the speed changes too rapidly, you may lose your balance and fall.
Next, press the TIME SET buttons to set the length of time you want the program to last. The length of time will
be shown in the TIME display. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the length of time will change by 4 min-
utes. The buttons can be held down to set the desired length of time rapidly. The program can be set to last for a
minimum of 4 minutes, up to a maximum of 96 minutes.
To start the program, press the PROGRAM START button. The first segment indicator will begin to flash, and the
treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed or incline setting of the first programmable control. (If the WALK or
RUN mode was selected, the incline of the treadmill can be controlled during the program by pressing the
INCLINE buttons. The speed of the walking belt can be adjusted, if desired, by moving the programmable control
below the flashing segment indicator. If the INCLINE mode was selected, the speed of the walking belt can be
controlled during the program by moving the manual speed control. First, move the speed control button to the
"reset" position, and then slide the control to the right to adjust the speed.The incline of the treadmill can be
adjusted, if desired, by moving the programmable control below the flashing segment indicator. ) Hold the
handrails, step carefully onto the walking belt and begin exercising. The time rem'aining in the program will be
shown in the TIME display. When one-eighth of the total length of time you set has elapsed, the second segment
indicator will begin to flash, and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed or incline setting of the second
programmable control. The program will continue in this manner until no time remains in the TIME display. The
walking belt will then slow to a stop and the program will be completed.
If you wish to stop the program before the program has been completed, press the MODE button. The console
will then be in the same condition as if the program had been completed. After the program is completed, the
console can be switched to a different mode by repeatedly pressing the MODE button.
LCD DISPLAY OPERATION
TIME display--When the console is in the manual mode, this display will show the total time that the walking belt
has been moving. (If the treadmill is run for longer than 99 minutes and 59 seconds, the display will reset to zero
and the treadmill will slow to a stop.) If desired, a time goal can be set. To set a time goal, first make sure that the
walking belt is stopped. Next, press the TIME SET buttons to set the length of time you plan to exercise. Each
time one of the buttons is pressed, the time goal will change by 1 minute. The buttons can be held down to set a
time goal rapidly. While the walking belt is moving, the display will count down the time goal. When no time
remains, the walking belt will slow to a stop. When the console is in the WALK, RUN or INCLINE mode, the dis-
play will show the time remaining in the program.
DISTANCE/CALORIES display--Press the MODE button below the DISTANCE/CALORIES display to select the
desired mode. An indicator will light to show which mode you have selected. When the DISTANCE mode is
selected, this display will show the total distance that you have walked or run, in miles. When the CALORIES
mode is selected, the display will show the approximate number of nutritional Calories that you have burned.
