The console can dis- play speed and dis- tance in either miles or kilometers. To see which unit of measure- ment is selected, first
remove the key from the console. Next, hold down the Stop button, reinsert the key, wait until you hear a tone, and then release the Stop button. An “E” for English miles or an “M” for metric kilometers will appear in the upper display. Press the Speed increase button to change the unit of measurement if desired. When the desired unit of measurement is selected, remove the key and then reinsert it.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor (see the drawing at the top of page 13). Do not press too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will be restricted and your pulse may not be detected. When your pulse is detected, a
be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, 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.
When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting when you fold the treadmill to the storage posi- tion, or you may damage the treadmill. Next, re- move the key from the console and put it in a se- cure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do this, the treadmillʼs electrical compo- nents may wear prematurely.
