PROGRAMMODE OPERATION

When the console is in the program mode, the console will automatically control either the speed of the walking belt or the incline of the treadmill, according to programs you create. To create a program, first press the MODE button repeatedly to select the WALK, RUN or INCLINE mode. An indicator will light to show which mode you have selected. If the WALK mode is selected, the console will control the speed of the walking belt during the pro- gram, and the speed range will be about 1 to 5 miles per hour; if the RUN mode is selected, console will control the speed of the walking belt during the program, and the speed range will be about 2 to 10 miles per hour; if the incline mode is selected, the console will control the incline of the treadmill during the program, and the incline range will be 2% to 12%.

Each program is divided into eight equal time periods, called segments. The speed or incline of the treadmill will change automatically at the beginning of each segment. If the WALK or RUN mode was selected, a speed setting should now be programmed for each of the eight segments. If the INCLINE mode was selected, an incline setting should now be programmed for each of the eight segments. Settings are programmed using the eight program- mable controls on the left side of the console. The control on the far left is for the first segment, and the control on the far right is for the eighth segment. Move the controls up or down to program the desired speed or incline set- tings. A sample program is shown on page 8. This program will begin with a low speed or incline setting. The speed or incline setting will then increase during the second and third segments, decrease during the fourth seg- ment, increase during the fifth and sixth segments, and decrease during the seventh and eighth segments. An infinite variety of settings can be programmed. Note: Do not set adjacent programmable controls too far apart; if the speed changes too rapidly, you may lose your balance and fall.

Next, press the TIME SET buttons to set the length of time you want the program to last. The length of time will be shown in the TIME display. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the length of time will change by 4 min- utes. The buttons can be held down to set the desired length of time rapidly. The program can be set to last for a minimum of 4 minutes, up to a maximum of 96 minutes.

To start the program, press the PROGRAM START button. The first segment indicator will begin to flash, and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed or incline setting of the first programmable control. (If the WALK or RUN mode was selected, the incline of the treadmill can be controlled during the program by pressing the INCLINE buttons. The speed of the walking belt can be adjusted, if desired, by moving the programmable control below the flashing segment indicator. If the INCLINE mode was selected, the speed of the walking belt can be controlled during the program by moving the manual speed control. First, move the speed control button to the "reset" position, and then slide the control to the right to adjust the speed.The incline of the treadmill can be adjusted, if desired, by moving the programmable control below the flashing segment indicator. ) Hold the handrails, step carefully onto the walking belt and begin exercising. The time rem'ainingin the program will be shown in the TIME display. When one-eighth of the total length of time you set has elapsed, the second segment indicator will begin to flash, and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed or incline setting of the second programmable control. The program will continue in this manner until no time remains in the TIME display. The walking belt will then slow to a stop and the program will be completed.

If you wish to stop the program before the program has been completed, press the MODE button. The console will then be in the same condition as if the program had been completed. After the program is completed, the console can be switched to a different mode by repeatedly pressing the MODE button.

LCD DISPLAY OPERATION

(If the treadmill is run for longer than 99 minutes and 59 seconds, the display will reset to zero and the treadmill will slow to a stop.) If desired, a time goal can be set. To set a time goal, first make sure that the walking belt is stopped. Next, press the TIME SET buttons to set the length of time you plan to exercise. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the time goal will change by 1 minute. The buttons can be held down to set a time goal rapidly. While the walking belt is moving, the display will count down the time goal. When no time remains, the walking belt will slow to a stop.
