Slide the speed control

 

down until it stops. Note:

 

Each time the walking

 

belt is stopped, the

 

speed control must be

 

moved to the lowest

 

position before the

5

walking belt can be

 

restarted.

 

3 Start the walking belt.

 

With the speed control in the lowest position, slowly slide it upward until the walking belt begins to move at slow speed. Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin walking. Change the speed

of the walking belt as desired by sliding the speed control.

To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and slide the speed control to the lowest position.

4 Follow your progress with the four displays.

Note: The console can display distance and speed in either kilometres or miles (see page 10).

TIME display

Measure your pulse, if desired.

To use the pulse sensor, stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pressure- activated—fully press it down. Do not press too hard, or

the circulation in your thumb will be restricted,

and your pulse will not be detected.

 

Next, raise

your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator

in the calories/pulse

 

 

 

display flashes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

steadily . Hold your

 

 

 

 

 

thumb at this level.

 

 

 

 

 

After 5 to 10 seconds,

 

 

 

 

 

your pulse will be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indicator

 

shown. Hold your

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thumb on the pulse

sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accu- rate reading. If the displayed pulse appears to be

too high or too low, or if your pulse is not dis- played, lift your thumb off the pulse sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down again on the sensor as described above.

Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown, and that you are applying the proper amount of pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor several times until you become familiar with it.

Remember to stand still whilst measuring your pulse.
