Upper Display Workout Statistics:

HEART RATE, CALORIES, DISTANCE, and TIME

HEART RATE—Your heart rate appears in the HEART RATE display if you are using a chest strap (9.27 only) or the touch-sensitive handrail grips. Refer to Heart Rate Features.

CALORIES—shows the cumulative number of calories being burned.

DISTANCE—shows linear distance in either miles or kilometers. The distance is calculated based on your speed.

TIME —shows the workout time in minutes and seconds; however, when you exceed 60 minutes during a single workout, the TIME display converts to hours and minutes. For programs with a workout time limit, the TIME display shows the time remaining. When you use QuickStart or select a workout time of zero (no time limit), the TIME display shows the elapsed time.

Lower Display Workout Statistics:

INCLINE, PACE, and SPEED

INCLINE—displays the percentage of incline during your workout. The INCLINE arrow keys affect the lift and let you set an incline between 0% and 15%. The values displayed can change in 0.5% increments.

PACE—displays your target speed in minutes and seconds per mile (or kilometer). For example, the number 4:23 indicates that the pace (speed at which you are moving) is 4 minutes and 23 seconds per mile. When you press the SPEED arrow keys, the pace display changes accordingly (0.1 mile per key press).

Note: If your pace is greater than 60 minutes per mile, the display indicates hours and minutes (hr:mm).

SPEED—displays the running belt speed in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (kph). The running belt speed ranges from 0.5 and 12 mph (0.8 to 20 kph) and can be changed in 0.1 increments using the SPEED arrow keys.
