6 Follow your progress with the four displays.

Distance display—This display shows the total distance that you

have walked or run.

Time/pulse

display—When the manual mode is selected, this display

shows the elapsed time. When one of the

preset programs is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program. Note: This dis- play will also show your heart rate when you use

the pulse sensor (see step 7).

Speed display—This

display shows the speed of the walking belt, in miles per hour

or kilome ters per hour. An MPH or a KPH will

appear in the display to show which unit of mea- surement is selected.

To change the unit of measurement, hold down the start/stop button while inserting the key into the console. An “E” for “English” (miles per hour) or an “M” for “Metric” (kilometers per hour) will appear in

the Distance display. Press the speed ▲ button to change the unit of measurement. Remove and then

reinsert the key.

Cals./fat cals. display— This display shows the approximate numbers

of calories

and fat calo-

ries you have burned

(see FAT BURNING on

page 16 for an explana-

tion of fat calories). Every seven seconds, the dis- play will change from one number to the other. An “F” will appear in the display when the number of fat calories is shown.

7 Measure your heart rate, if desired.

Stand on the foot rails and place your

hands on the metal con- tacts on the handrail. Your

palms must

be resting on

the upper contacts, and your fingers must be touch- ing the lower contacts—avoid moving your hands while measuring your heart rate. After a moment, a “P” and three dashes “– – –” will appear in the time/pulse display and your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.

8 When you are finished, remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails and remove the key from the console. Store the key in a secure place. In addi-

tion, move the on/off switch to the off position. (See the drawing on page 9.)

PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

•Make sure to stand on the foot rails and avoid moving your hands while measuring your heart rate.

Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate

readings. If the pulse sensor is not used corre

ctly,

your heart rate will not be shown.

 

•Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings.

•For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for

about 15 seconds.

•For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
