•Security clip
•Password protection
•Handrails
•I/O power switch
Important: Before exercising, review the Important Safety Instructions found at the beginning of this manual.
Safety Considerations
Take time to discuss proper safety and exercise equipment etiquette with the club or facility manager. When planning to exercise on the treadmill, always:
•Hold onto a handrail while stepping onto the treadmill.
•Face the display and then straddle the running belt by placing your feet on the trim strips provided.
•Attach the security clip to your clothing before touching the keypad or entering the password.
•Step onto the running belt while it is moving at or below 1 mile per hour or 1 kilometer per hour.
Using the Security Clip
Attach the security clip to your clothing before each workout. A tug on the lanyard trips the security switch inside the display console and stops the running belt.

If the security switch trips while you are exercising, the running belt stops and the treadmill assumes you are pausing your workout. To resume exercising, take the following steps:
1.Reattach the security clip to your clothing.
2.Straddle the running belt.
3.Press SPEED ▲.
4.Enter the password (if necessary).
Note: The facility can set a limit on the amount of time you can pause during a workout. Check with the manager to find out about the pause time limit. If you exceed the time limit, the display returns to the Precor banner.
