5.Follow your progress with the display.
The console offers several display options. The dis- play option you select will determine which workout information is shown. Press the Display button re- peatedly to select the desired display option.
As you walk or run on the treadmill, the display can show the following workout information:
•The elapsed time.
•The distance you have walked or run.
•The approximate number of calories you have burned.
•The approximate number of calories burned per hour.
•Your exercise intensity in mets.
•The speed of the walking belt.
•The incline level of the treadmill.
•Your pace in minutes per mile or minutes per kilo- meter.
•Your heart rate.
Note: Regardless of which display mode you select, the speed or incline setting will appear in the dis- play 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 sen- sor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see step 6).
6.Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 19 for information about the op- tional chest pulse sensor). Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the optional chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not display your heart rate accurately.
Before using the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the sheets of clear plastic from the metal contacts. In addition, make sure that your hands are clean.

When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate read- ing, 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 when you fold the treadmill to the storage posi- tion or you may damage the treadmill. Next, re- move 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 electrical components of the tread- mill may wear prematurely.
