Pulse Sensor

DISTANCE/LAPS

display—This display shows the total dis- tance that you have walked and the num-

ber of laps you have

completed (one lap equals 1/4 mile). The display will alternate between one number and the other every seven seconds. The LAPS indicator will light when the number of laps is shown.

• TIME/PACE dis- play—This display shows the elapsed time and your current pace (pace is mea-

sured in minutes per

mile ). The display will alternate between one number and the other every seven seconds. The PACE indicator will light when your pace is shown. Note: When a workout program is se- lected, the display will show the time remaining in the program.

SPEED display—

This display shows

the speed of the walking belt, in miles per hour or kilome-

ters per hour. The

KPH indicator will light when the speed is shown in kilometers per hour.

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 CALS/FAT CALS/PULSE dis-

play. Press the SPEED

button to change the

unit of measurement. Remove and then reinsert

the key.

 

• CALS/FAT CALS/

 

PULSE display—

 

This display shows

the approximate

and fat calories

you

have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 14).

Every seven seconds, the display will change from one number to the other. The FAT indicator will light when the number of fat calories is shown. Note: This display will also show your heart rate when the pulse sensor is used (see step 7).

steadily and a “P” appears

in the display. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three dashes will appear in the dis- play and then your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for another 15 seconds

for the most accurate reading.

If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high

or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift your thumb 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. Try the sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Remember to stand still while measuring your pulse.
