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 program is completed, the letter “C” will be shown in the CALORIES display, in- dicating 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, and your fitness level will be

shown in the TIME display. There are ten fitness

levels—fitness level 10

 

 

(FL:10) is the highest.

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 display will show a fitness level of 0 (FL:00). (See

GUIDELINES FOR OBTAINING ACCURATE PULSE READINGS on pages 8 and 9.)

The FITNESS TEST 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 MAN- UAL 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 11.)

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.

When the information mode is selected, the symbol shown in drawing A should appear in the CALORIES display. This symbol indicates that the console is set for an infrared (cordless) pulse sensor. IMPORTANT: If the symbol shown in drawing B appears, the cord- less pulse sensor will not function. If necessary, press the WEIGHT decrease button until the symbol shown in drawing A appears.
