5 Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.

To change the incline of the treadmill, press the Incline increase and decrease buttons or one of the twelve buttons on the left side of the console.

Each time the Incline increase or decrease button is pressed, the incline will change by 0.5%. If one of the twelve buttons on the left side of the con- sole is pressed, the incline will gradually increase until it reaches the selected incline setting.

Select a display mode and monitor your

6 progress with the display and the intensity level bar.

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 incline level of the treadmill.

•The approximate number of calories you have burned.

•The approximate number of grams of carbs you have burned.

•Your walking or running pace, in minutes per mile or minutes per kilometer.

•Your heart rate. Note: Your heart rate can be displayed only while you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor.

•In addition, the display can show a “workout history”—a graph that represents the speed settings that you select during your workout. At the beginning of each minute of your workout, an additional column will appear in the graph; as you increase or decrease the speed setting, the height of the column will increase or de- crease.

•The display can also show an animation of a runner on a road. As you increase or decrease the speed setting, the runner will run at a faster or slower speed.

When the manual mode is selected, the console offers eight display modes. The display mode that you select will determine which workout informa- tion is shown. For example, the first display mode shows only the elapsed time and the distance that you have walked or run. Press the Display button repeatedly to select the desired display mode.

Note: Regardless of which display mode you se- lect, the speed or incline setting will appear in the display for a few seconds each time you change the setting. In addition, your heart rate will appear in the display for up to 40 seconds each time you use the handgrip pulse sensor or put on the op- tional chest pulse sensor. (If you select the display mode shown below, your heart rate will be shown in place of the approximate number of grams of carbs you have burned.)

As you exercise, the intensity level bar will indicate the approximate intensity level of your exercise. For example, if half of the indicators in the bar are lit, the bar shows that your intensity level is ideal for aerobic exercise.
