HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM PROGRAM

Custom programs are workout programs that you create. The programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill, and can be up to 40 minutes long. The programs are stored in the consoleÕs memory, and can be changed as many times as desired. Follow the steps below to create a custom program.

1Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11.

2Select one of the custom programs.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will automatically be selected, as shown by the MANUAL indicator. To select one

of the custom programs,

press the USER 1 or USER 2 button. The letters ÒCP1Ó or ÒCP2Ó will appear in the CALS./

FAT CALS./PULSE

display to show which program you have selected. The TIME/PACE display will show how long the program is set to last. (The program can be set to last for a different length of time, as explained later.) Note: If the walking belt is moving when a custom program is selected, the walking belt will slow to a stop. In addition, if the incline of the treadmill is higher than 1.5%, it will automatically decrease to 1.5%.

3Put on the chest pulse sensor, if desired.

If you want to wear the chest pulse sensor, see HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR on page 7.

4Enter your weight, if desired.

If your weight is entered into the console, the console will more accurately measure the calories and fat calories you burn. To enter your weight, see step 4 on page 12.

5Press the START button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the walking belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

6Press the RECORD button and program the desired speed and incline settings.

When the RECORD button is pressed, the indicator on the button will light. Speed and incline settings can be programmed only when the indicator on the button is lit.

Each custom program is divided into one-minute periods. One speed setting and one incline setting can be programmed for each period. To program speed and incline settings for the first one-minute period of the program, simply adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill as desired with the SPEED and INCLINE buttons.

When the first one-minute period of the program is completed, the current speed and incline settings will be stored in the consoleÕs memory. Program speed and incline settings for the second one- minute period in the same way. Repeat this procedure until you have programmed speed and incline settings for as many one-minute periods as desired. Custom programs can have up to forty periods.

Note: To stop the program for a moment, press the STOP/PAUSE button. All displays will pause and the TIME/PACE display will begin to flash. To restart the program, press the START button.

Hold down

the STOP/PAUSE button for two

seconds.

 

 

 

When you have programmed speed and incline settings for as many one-minute periods as desired, hold down the STOP/PAUSE button for two seconds. The speed and incline settings that you have programmed and the length of the program will be stored in the consoleÕs memory. To use the program again, see HOW TO USE A CUSTOM PROGRAM at the right.

8When the program is completed, remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails. Make sure that the incline of the treadmill is set at 1.5%. Remove the key from the console. Store the key in a secure place. In addition, press the on/off switch to the off position. (See the drawing on page 11.)
