As you walk or run on the treadmill, the display can show the following workout information:

•The elapsed time.

•The distance that you have walked or run.

•The approximate number of calories you have burned.

•The incline level of the treadmill.

•The speed of the walking belt.

Regardless of which display mode you select, the speed or incline setting will appear in the display for a few seconds each time you change the setting. In addition, your heart rate will appear in the display each time you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor.

To reset the console, press the Stop button, re- move the key, and then reinsert the key.

6.Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and the optional chest pulse sensor at the same time, the display will not show your heart rate accurately. See page 19 for information on the op- tional chest pulse sensor.

bar. In addition, make sure that your hands are clean.

To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on the metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, a heart symbol will flash in the display each time your heart beats and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accu- rate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.

7.When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console.

Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting or you may damage the treadmill when you fold it to the storage position. Next, remove the key from the console and put it in a secure place. When you are finished using the treadmill, switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do this, the treadmillʼs electrical compo- nents may wear prematurely.
