The left side of the dis- play will show the elapsed time, the dis-

tance that you have walked or run, and the in-

cline level of the treadmill.

Note: When a program is selected (except for heart rate program 2), the display will show the time re- maining in the program instead of the elapsed time.

The right side of the dis- play will show the ap- proximate number of calories you have burned, the speed of the walking belt, and your

pace (in minutes per kilometer). The right side of the display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor.

Note: The console can display speed and distance in either kilometers or miles. To find which unit of measurement is selected, or to change the unit of measurement, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page 23. Note: For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to kilometers.

To reset the display, press the Stop button, remove the key, and then reinsert the key.

6. Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you

 

use the

 

handgrip

 

pulse sensor

 

and the op-

 

tional chest

Contacts

pulse sensor

 

at the same

 

time, the

 

console will not display your heart rate accurately.

Before using the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the sheets of clear plastic from the metal contacts. In addition, make sure that your hands are clean.

To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and hold the metal contacts on the handrail— avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is de- tected, the heart symbol in the right side of the dis- play will begin to flash each time your heart beats, one or two dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.

7.Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan, press the Fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the button a sec- ond time. To turn off the fan, press the button a third time. Note: If the fan is left on when the walk- ing belt is stopped, the fan will automatically turn off after a few minutes.

8.When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console.

Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting when you fold the treadmill to the storage posi- tion you will damage the treadmill. Next, remove the key from the console and put it in a secure place.

When you are finished using the treadmill, switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do this, the treamill’s electrical components may wear prematurely.
