5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
r
ails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor
(see the drawing on page 13). Do not press too
h
ard, or the circulation in your thumb will be re-
stricted and your pulse may not be detected.
When your pulse is detected, the small heart sym-
bol in the lower right display will flash, one or two
dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-
ing, hold your thumb on the pulse sensor for at
least 15 seconds.
If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or
too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift
your thumb for a few seconds, and then reposition
your thumb on the pulse sensor. Remember to
stand still while measuring your heart rate.
6. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, re-
move the key from the console, and put it in a secure
place. When you are finished using the treadmill,
switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” posi-
tion and unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If
you do not do this, the treadmillʼs electrical
components may wear prematurely.
HOW TO USE A SPEED PROGRAM
1. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 13.
2. Select one of the four speed programs.
To select a speed pro-
gram, press the
Program Select button
repeatedly; “P- 1,” “P-
2,” “P- 3,” or “P- 4” will
appear in the upper dis-
play for a few seconds to show which program is
selected. The maximum speed setting of the se-
lected program will also flash in one of the displays
for a few seconds.
Each program consists of 30 one-minute periods.
One speed setting is programmed for each period.
Note: The same speed setting may be pro-
g
rammed for two or more consecutive periods. The
profiles printed on the console show how the
s
peed of the walking belt will change during the
programs.
3. Press the Start button or the speed + button to
start the program.
When you press either button, the treadmill will au-
tomatically adjust to the speed setting that is pro-
grammed for the first period of the program. Hold
the handrails and begin walking.
When the first period ends, a series of tones will
sound. If a different speed setting is programmed
for the second period, the speed setting will flash in
one of the displays to alert you, and then the speed
of the walking belt will change. The program will
continue until all 30 periods are completed. The
walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed setting is too high or too low during the
program, you can manually override the setting by
pressing the speed buttons. However, when the
next period begins, the speed of the walking
belt will change if a different speed setting is
programmed for the next period.
To stop the program, press the Stop button. The
time will begin to flash in one of the displays. To
restart the program, press the Start button or the
speed + button. The walking belt will begin to move
at 1 mph. When the next period begins, the speed
of the walking belt will change if a different speed
setting is programmed for the next period.

plays.
