Each time a button is pressed, the speed setting will change by 0.1 mph; if a button is held down, the speed setting will change in increments of 0.5 mph. Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers (see SPEED DISPLAY at the right). For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to miles.

To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button. The Time/Distance display will begin to flash.

Note: During the first few minutes that the treadmill is used, inspect the alignment of the walking belt, and align it if necessary (see page 13).

After a few seconds, the heart-shaped indicator in the Fat Calories/Calories/ Pulse display will begin to flash, one or two dashes (– –) will appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on the heart rate sensor for about 15 seconds for the most accurate reading.

If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift your thumb off the heart rate sensor for a few sec- onds. Then, place your thumb on the heart rate sensor as described above. Remember to stand still while measuring your heart rate.
