Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in the WORKOUT PRO- FILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline per- centage. For example, in Level 5, the lowest incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3 percent, is represented by a column with all seven rows lit.

In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes automatically to match that hill. To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad.

USING INSTAPACETM FEEDBACK

The InstaPaceTM Feedback feature enables users to monitor their pace, or rate of minutes per mile, while running on the treadmill. This feature must be enabled in the Manager’s Configuration. See Section 5, titled The Manager’s Configuration, for more information. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the MPH and pace simultaneously when the user adjusts the treadmill speed with the ARROW KEYS. If the user adjusts the speed using the NUMERIC keypad, the MES- SAGE CENTER displays the pace after the treadmill reaches the new speed.

USING ZEROUTTM SPEED CONTROL

If, during a workout, a user decreases the speed to the minimum and continues to hold the DECREASE SPEED ARROW, the speed falls to 0 MPH, which is pause mode. The minimum speed is 0.5 MPH, unless changed in the Manager’s Configuration. See section 5.2, titled Configuration Settings, for more information.
