HOW TO USE PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS
1Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 10.
2Select one of the performance programs.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected and the manual indicator will light. To se- lect one of the performance programs, press the Program Select button repeatedly until one of the four performance program indicators lights.
The profiles on the console show how the speed and incline of the treadmill will change during the performance programs. The numbers at the left end of the profiles show the maximum speed and incline settings for the programs. For example, the first profile shows that the treadmill will reach a maximum incline of 6% and a maximum speed of 4 mph during the first program.
When a perfor- mance program is selected, the pro- gram display will show a simplified profile of the pro- gram.
3Put on the heart rate monitor if desired.
For the Pulse display to show your heart rate, the heart rate monitor must be worn. To put on the heart rate monitor, see HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR on page 6.
4Press the Start button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread- mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each program is divided into several time periods of different lengths. (The Time/Segment Time dis- play shows both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current period.)
One speed setting and one incline
setting are pro- grammed for each period. The speed setting for the first period will be shown
in the flashing Current Period col-
umn of the program
display. (The incline settings are not shown in the program display.) The speed settings for the next seven periods will be shown in the seven columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period of the program, both the Current Period column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all speed settings will move one column to the left. The speed setting for the second period will then be shown in the flashing Current Period column and the treadmill will auto- matically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the second period.
The program will continue in this way until the speed setting for the last period is shown in the Current Period column and the Time/Segment Time display counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
Note: Each time a period ends and the speed set- tings move one column to the left, if all of the indi- cators in the Current Period column are lit, all speed settings will move downward so that only the highest indicators in the columns will appear in the program display. When the speed settings move to the left again and not all of the indicators in the Current Period column are lit, the speed settings will move back up.
If the speed or incline setting for the current period is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Speed or Incline but- tons on the console. Every few times one of the Speed buttons is pressed, an additional indicator will light or darken in the Current Period column. If any of the columns to the right of the Current Period column have the same number of lit indica- tors as the Current Period column, an additional in- dicator will light or darken in those columns as well. Note: If you manually adjust the speed setting so that all of the indicators in the Current Period column are lit, the speed settings in the program display will not move downward as described above.
