4.Change the incline of the treadmill as desired. To change the incline of the treadmill, press the Incline increase and decrease buttons. Each time you press the Incline increase and decrease button, the incline will change by 0.5%. Note: After you press an Incline button, it may take a moment for the treadmill to reach the selected incline setting.
5.Select a display mode and monitor your progress with the display.
As you walk or run on the treadmill, the display can show the following workout information:
•The elapsed time.
•The distance that you have walked or run.
•The speed of the walking belt.
•The approximate number of calories you have burned.
•The date.
•A
•The incline level of the treadmill.
•Your heart rate. Note: Your heart rate will be shown only when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see step 6).
•An animation of a runner.
When the manual mode is selected, the console offers three display modes. Press the Display but- ton repeatedly to select the desired display mode. Regardless of which display mode you select, the speed or incline setting will appear in the display for a few seconds each time you change the set- ting. In addition, your heart rate will appear in the display each time you use the handgrip pulse sen- sor or the optional chest pulse sensor.
To reset the console, press the Stop button, re- move 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 on the optional chest pulse sensor, see page 22.
Before using the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the sheets of clear plastic from the metal con-
tacts on the pulse Contacts bar. In addition,
make sure that your hands are clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on the metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, a heart symbol will flash in the display and then your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, con- tinue to hold the contacts for about 15 sec- onds.
7.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.
