NordicTrack Apex 5100 Treadmill English Manual - Page 12

Heart Rate/Calories- When you are not using the handgrip pulse sensor, the main display will show the approximate number of calories you have burned. When you are using the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate (see step 6). Speed/Pace-The right side of the main display shows the speed of the walking belt and your current pace (pace is measured in minutes per mile). Every seven seconds, the display will change from one number to the other. Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of measurement is selected, hold down the Stop button while inserting the key into the console. An "E" for English miles or an "M" for metric kilometers will appear in the right side of the main display. Press the Speed + button to change the unit of measurement. When the desired unit of measurement is selected, remove the key and then reinsert it. Note: For simplicity, all instructions in this manual refer to miles. To reset the main display, press the Stop button, remove the key, and then reinsert the key. 6 Measure your heart rate, if desired. To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your hands on the metal contacts on the handrail. Your palms must be resting on the front contacts, and your fingers must be touching the rear contacts-avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the Heart Rate indicator will flash, three dashes (- - -) will appear in the main 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. 7 When you are finished exercising, stop the walking belt and remove the key. Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest level. The incline must be at the lowest level when the treadmill is raised to the storage position or the treadmill will be damaged. Next, remove the key from the console and put it in a secure place. Note: If the displays and indicators on the console remain lit after the key is removed, the console is in the "demo" mode. Refer to page 24 and turn off the demo mode. When you are finished using the treadmill, move the on/off switch near the power cord to the off position and unplug the power cord. HOW TO USE PRESET PROGRAMS 1 Insert the key fully into the console. See GETTING STARTED on page 10. 2 Select the desired preset program. The console offers twenty-seven preset programs- nine programs that focus on weight loss, nine programs designed for aerobic exercise, and nine programs for high-performance conditioning. When the key is inserted, the manual mode will automatically be selected. To select one of the preset programs, first press the Select Workout Goal button repeatedly until the words "WEIGHT LOSS," "AEROBIC," or "PERFORMANCE" appear in the main display. Next, press the Select Course button repeatedly to select one of the weight loss, aerobic, or performance programs. For example, if the words "WEIGHT LOSS" appear in the main display, you can select the Riverside Trail, Mountain Trail, Nature Path, Power Hike, Waterfall Canyon, Moose Tracks, Boulder Trek, Evergreen Path, or Meadow Trail program. 12
