When the START/

PAUSE button is pressed, the TIME dis-

play will begin counting up. The CALORIES dis-

play will show “L 1” (level 1), indicating that

the first 4-minute period of the FITNESS TEST pro- gram has begun. The incline of the treadmill will au- tomatically adjust to 3.0%, and the walking belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and carefully begin walking.

When the TIME display reaches 4 minutes, the CALORIES display will show “L 2,” indicating that the second 4-minute period has begun. The incline will increase to 4%, and the speed will increase to

2.5mph. At the beginning of each 4-minute period, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will auto- matically increase. The FITNESS TEST will continue in this manner until your pulse reaches 70% of your maximum heart rate, and the current 4-minute period is completed. The FITNESS TEST will then be com- pleted, regardless of how many periods remain.

When the FITNESS TEST is completed, the letter “C” will be shown in the CALORIES display, indicat- ing that the cool-down period has begun. The TIME display will count down from 2 minutes. When the cool-down period is completed, the walking belt will slow to a stop. Note: During the last ten seconds of the cool-down period, the treadmill will auto- matically adjust to the lowest incline level. Keep your feet and objects from beneath the treadmill. After the program is completed, your fitness level will be shown in the TIME display. There are ten fit- ness levels—fitness

level 10 (FL:10) is the highest. Remember, the FITNESS TEST is intended only to indi- cate your relative fit- ness level.

Note: The SPEED and INCLINE buttons will not re- spond while the FITNESS TEST program is selected. If your pulse is not de-

tected during the pro- gram, the NOT DE-

TECTED indicator will light and the letters “PLS” will flash in the

PULSE display. If your

pulse is not detected during the last thirty

seconds of any 4-minute period (after 4 minutes,

	after 8 minutes, etc.), the walking belt will slow to a
	stop, the FITNESS TEST will end, and the TIME dis-
	play will show a fitness level of 0 (FL:00). (See
	GUIDELINES FOR ACCURATE PULSE READ-
	INGS on page 8.) The FITNESS TEST program
	cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted.
	However, the program can be stopped at any time
	by pressing the STOP button. The TIME display will
	then show an estimated fitness level. If the STOP
	button is pressed a second time, the MANUAL
	mode will be selected.
	When you are finished exercising, stop the walk-
7
	ing belt and remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails, stop the walking belt, and re- move the key from the console. Store the key in a secure place. In addition, move the on/off switch to the “off” position. (See the drawing near the bottom of page 10.)

HOW TO SELECT THE INFORMATION MODE

The console features an information mode that keeps track of the total time and distance accumulated on the treadmill.

To access the information mode, hold down the STOP button while inserting the key into the console. The TIME display will show the total time accumulated on the treadmill, in hours. The DISTANCE/INCLINE display will show the total distance, in miles (if the total distance exceeds 999 miles, the thousands and ten thousands digits will be shown in the PULSE display). Note: The SPEED display will show an “E” (for English system [miles]) or “M” (for Metric system [kilometers]) (see SPEED DISPLAY on page 12).

To exit the information mode, remove the key.
