Slide the speed control to the RESET position.

(Note: Each time the walking belt is stopped, the speed control must be moved to the RESET position before the walking belt can be restarted.) Next, slowly slide the speed control to the right until the walking belt begins to move at slow speed. Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin walking. As you exercise, change the speed of the walking belt as desired with the speed control.

To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and slide the speed control to the RESET position.

Note: During the first few minutes that you use the treadmill, inspect the alignment of the walking belt, and align it if necessary (see page 13).

3 Adjust the incline of the treadmill as desired.

To change the incline of the treadmill, press the top or bottom of the incline control until the desired in- cline level is reached.

4 Follow your progress with the LED track and the three displays.

The LED Track—The

LED track represents a distance of 1/4 mile. As

you exercise, the indi- cators around the track will light in sequence

until you have com-

pleted 1/4 mile. A new lap will then begin.

TIME/DISTANCE dis-

play—This display shows the elapsed time and the distance that

you have walked or run, in miles. Every few sec-

onds, the display will change from one number to the other, as shown by the arrows in the display.

CALS/FAT CALS/ PULSE display—This display shows the ap- proximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned. (See

FAT BURNING on page

14.) Every few seconds, the display will change from one number to the other.

SPEED display—This display shows the speed of the walking belt, in miles per hour.

To reset the displays at any time, press the ON/RESET button.

5 Measure your heart rate, if desired.

To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pressure ac-

tivated—fully press it down. Do not press too hard, or the cir- culation in your thumb will be re- stricted, and your

pulse will not be detected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the CALS/FAT CALS/PULSE display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three dashes will appear in the display and then your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on the pulse sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading.

If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift your thumb off the pulse sensor and allow the dis- play to reset. Then, press down on the pulse sensor as described above. Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown, and that you are applying the proper amount of pressure. Remember to stand still while measuring your heart rate.

6 When you are finished exercising, stop the walking belt and remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails, slide the speed control to the RESET position, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest level. The incline must be at the lowest level when the treadmill is raised to the storage position. Remove the key from the console. The displays will turn off about five min- utes after the key is removed. Note: To conserve the batteries, the displays will automatically turn off any time that the walking belt is stopped and the ON/RESET button is not pressed for five minutes.
