4. Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the
Inclineincrease and decrease buttons. Each time
you press a button, the incline setting will change
by 0.5 percent; if you hold down a button, the in-
cline setting will change quickly.
5. Follow your progress with the displays.
The track—The track
represents a distance of
1/4 mile (400 meters).
As you walk or run on
the treadmill, the indica-
tors around the track
will appear in succession until the entire track ap-
pears. The track will then disappear and the indica-
tors will again begin to appear in succession.
The left display—As
you exercise, this dis-
play can show the
elapsed time and the
approximate number of
calories that you have
burned. The left display will also show the incline of
the treadmill each time the incline level changes.
The display also shows your heart rate when you
use the pulse sensor (see step 6 on this page).
Note: When you use a preset workout, the left dis-
play will show the time remaining in the workout in-
stead of the elapsed time.
The right display—
This display can show
the speed of the walk-
ing belt and the dis-
tance that you have
walked or run.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor
(see the drawing on page 10). Do not press too
hard, or the circulation in your thumb will be re-
stricted and your pulse may not be detected.
When your pulse is detected, the small heart sym-
bol in the left display will flash and your heart rate
will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate
reading, hold your thumb on the pulse sensor
for at least 15 seconds.
If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or
too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift
your thumb for a few seconds, and then reposition
your thumb on the pulse sensor. Remember to
stand still while measuring your heart rate.
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, press
the power switch into the off position and unplug
the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do
this, the treadmillʼs electrical components may
wear prematurely.
