Distance/Incline dis-

play—This display shows the distance that you have walked or run and the incline level of

the treadmill. The dis-

play will change from one number to the other every few seconds. Note: Each time the incline changes, the display will show the incline setting for several seconds.

Calories/Pulse

display—This display shows the approximate number of calories you have burned. The dis-

play will also show your

heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sen- sor or the chest pulse sensor. The display will change from one number to the other every few seconds.

Time/Pace display

When the manual mode or the iFIT.com mode is selected, this display will show the elapsed

time and your current

pace (pace is measured in minutes per mile). The display will change from one number to the other every few seconds. When a program is selected (except for the Self Select heart rate program), the display will show the time remaining in the pro- gram rather than the elapsed time.

To reset the displays, 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 console will not

display your heart rate accu-

rately. Before using the handgrip pulse sensor, make sure that your hands are clean. If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic.

To use the handgrip pulse sensor, first make sure that your hands are clean. Next, 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, two dashes (– –) will appear in the Calories/Pulse display, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.

Note: The pulse bar is intended to be used only for heart rate measurement. Do not use the pulse bar as a handlebar. Always hold the handrails for support when you are not mea- suring your heart rate.

7 Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan, press the Fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the button a sec- ond time. To turn off the fan, press the button a third time. Note: A few minutes after the walking belt is stopped, the fan will automatically turn off.

When you are finished exercising, remove the

8 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 when the treadmill is folded to the storage posi- tion or the treadmill will be damaged. Next, re- move the key from the console and put it in a se- cure place. Note: If the displays and various indi- cators on the console remain lit after the key is removed, the console is in the “demo” mode. See page 23 and turn off the demo mode.

When you are finished using the treadmill, switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and unplug the power cord.
