When the fitness test program is selected, an age setting will flash in the Incline display and the letters "AGE" will appear in the Time dis-

play. You must enter your age to use the fitness test program. If you have already entered your age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your age, press the Enter Age buttons to enter your age. Four seconds after the buttons are pressed, the age setting will disappear from the display. Your age will then be saved in memory.

The fitness test program consists of seven 4- minute segments and is followed by a 2-minute cool-down segment. One speed setting and one incline setting are pro-

grammed for each seg-

ment. The speed setting	Current Segment
for the first segment will	u_, 00()0000@000(

of the program display.
(The incline settings are

not shown in the program display.) The speed set- tings for the remaining seven segments will be shown in the seven columns to the right.

When the first 4-minute segment of the fitness test program is completed, all speed settings will move one column to the left and the Distance/Laps dis- play will show an '%2/'indicating that the second

4-minute segment has begun. The incline will then adjust to 4% and the speed will increase to 2.5 mph. When the second 4-minute segment is com- pleted, the speed settings will again move one

column to the left and the Distance/Laps display will show an '%3." The incline will remain the

same, but the speed will then increase to 3.3%. At the beginning of each 4-minute segment, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically in- crease. The fitness test program will continue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate, and the current 4- minute segment is completed. The fitness test program will then be completed, regardless of how many segments remain.
