4.Change the incline of the treadmill as desired. To change the incline of the treadmill, press the Incline increase and decrease buttons or one of the numbered Quick Incline buttons. Each time you press the Incline increase or decrease button, the incline will change by 0.5 percent. If you press one of the numbered Quick Incline buttons, the treadmill will adjust to the selected incline setting. Note: After you press the buttons, it may take a moment for the treadmill to reach the selected incline setting.
5.Follow your progress with the displays. When the
manual mode is se- lected, the
upper dis-Track play will
show a track
that represents 1/4 mile (400 meters). As you walk or run, indicators will appear in succession around the track until the entire track appears. The track will then disappear and the indicators will again begin to appear in succession.
The left side of the lower display will show the elapsed time, the dis- tance that you have walked or run, and the in- cline level of the tread-
mill. Press the Display button to view the time or the distance. Note: When a preset workout is se- lected, the display will show the time remaining in the workout instead of the elapsed time.
The right side of the lower display will show the approximate number of calories you have burned, the speed of the walking belt, and your
pace in minutes per mile. Press the Display button to view the speed or the pace. The right side of the display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor.
To reset the display, press the Stop button, remove the key, and then reinsert the key.
6.Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and the optional chest pulse sensor at the same
time, the console will not display your heart rate accurately. For information about the optional chest pulse sensor, see page 20.
Before using the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the sheets of clear plastic from the metal con- tacts. In addition, make sure that your hands are clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your hands on the metal contacts— avoid moving your hands. Hold the contacts for approximately ten seconds. When your pulse is de- tected, the heart symbol in the display will begin to flash each time your heart beats, one or two dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate read- ing, continue to hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan features high, low, and auto speed set- tings. Press the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan speed or to turn off the fan. When the auto mode is selected, the speed of the fan will auto- matically increase and decrease as the speed of the walking belt increases and decreases. Note: If the fan is on when the walking belt is stopped, the fan will turn off automatically after a few minutes. The auto mode can be selected only while the walking belt is moving.
8. 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 set- ting or you may damage the treadmill when you fold it to the storage position. Next, remove 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” position and unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do this, the treadmillʼs electrical compo- nents may wear prematurely.
