Operating and Maintaining the P30 Console

Pausing and Resuming an Exercise Session

When you interrupt a workout, the equipment responds in one of two ways, depending on how it is powered.

Paused (Externally Powered Equipment)

When the session is paused, the belt speed is slowly reduced to zero, or the resistance is slowly reduced to the minimum. The lift motor is turned off leaving the incline or crossramp at its current position. Data entry is canceled.

When you press Pause on all non-treadmill equipment, it displays the summary screen with your workout metrics. After displaying the summary, it returns to the Welcome screen.

Pending Shutdown (Self-Powered Equipment)

On self-powered machines, the paused state is equivalent to the pending shutdown state. When you stop working out, the equipment begins a 30 second countdown.

The accumulated metrics (e.g., time, strides, distance, calories) hold their current values and do not change. Data entry may not be started.

To restart the program, begin working out again. The resistance is reset to what it was when the program was paused.

If the equipment remains inactive for more than 30 seconds, the power is lost and the equipment bypasses the workout summary screen.

Ending a Session

Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because it helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. In addition, a three to five minute cool down allows your heart rate to return to its normal, resting state.

At the end of your workout, a Summary screen displays your average heart rate during your workout and your accumulated workout metrics.
