HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM PROGRAM

Custom programs are workout programs that you create. The programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill, and can be up to 40 minutes long. The programs are stored in the console’s memory, and can be changed as many times as desired. Follow the steps below to create a custom program.

1 Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11.

2 Select one of the custom programs.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will automatically be selected, as shown by the MANUAL indicator. To select one

of the custom programs,

press the USER 1 or USER 2 button. The letters “CP1” or “CP2”

will appear in the CALS./

FAT CALS./PULSE

display to show which program you have selected. The TIME/PACE display will show how long the program is set to last. (The program can be set to last for a different length of time, as explained later.) Note: If the walking belt is moving when a custom program is selected, the walking belt will slow to a stop. In addition, if the incline of the treadmill is higher than 1.5%, it will automatically decrease to 1.5%.

3 Put on the chest pulse sensor, if desired.

If you want to wear the chest pulse sensor, see HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR on page 7.

4 Enter your weight, if desired.

If your weight is entered into the console, the console will more accurately measure the numbers of calories and fat calories you burn. To enter your weight, see step 4 on page 12.

5 Press the START button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the walking belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

6	Press the RECORD button and program the
	desired speed and incline settings.
	When the RECORD button is pressed, the indicator
	on the button will light. Speed and incline settings
	can be programmed only when the indicator on
	the button is lit.
	Each custom program is divided into one-minute
	periods. One speed setting and one incline setting
	can be programmed for each period. To program
	speed and incline settings for the first one-minute
	period of the program, simply adjust the speed and
	incline of the treadmill as desired with the SPEED
	and INCLINE buttons.
	When the first one-minute period of the program is
	completed, the current speed and incline settings
	will be stored in the console’s memory. Program
	speed and incline settings for the second one-
	minute period in the same way. Repeat this
	procedure until you have programmed speed and
	incline settings for as many one-minute periods as
	desired. Custom programs can have up to forty
	periods.
	Note: To stop the program for a moment, press the
	STOP/PAUSE button. All displays will pause and
	the TIME/PACE display will begin to flash. To
	restart the program, press the START button.
	Hold down the STOP/PAUSE button for two
7
	seconds.
	When you have programmed speed and incline
	settings for as many one-minute periods as
	desired, hold down the STOP/PAUSE button for
	two seconds. The speed and incline settings that
	you have programmed and the length of the program
	will be stored in the console’s memory. To use the
	program again, see HOW TO USE A CUSTOM
	PROGRAM at the right.

8 When the program is completed, remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails. Make sure that the incline of the treadmill is set at 1.5%. Remove the key from the console. Store the key in a secure place. In addition, press the on/off switch to the “off” position. (See the drawing on page 11.)
