PROBLEM: The treadmill does not count your steps accurately
SOLUTION: a. For the treadmill to count your steps accurately, correct walking form is important. As you walk, try to maintain a steady pace, a uniform stride length, and a consistent position on the treadmill. Lighter users may also find it helpful to reduce the incline of the treadmill or to increase the speed of the walking belt. IMPORTANT: Always walk at a speed that is comfortable for you. Note: The treadmill, like pedometers and other step counting devices, may not count your first few steps each time you begin walking and may occasionally not count a step while you are walking.
PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly
SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is changing, re- move the key. After a few seconds, reinsert the key. The treadmill will rise to the maximum in- cline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.
