HOW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAM The fitness test program measures your VO2 max level. For the best results, the program should be used at a time when your energy level is high; the program should not be used if you have already exercised during the day. Follow the steps below to use the program. 1 Put on the chest pulse sensor. You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use the fitness test program. See the instructions on page 9. 2 Insert the key fully into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12. 3 Select the fitness test program. When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select the fitness test program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until a "P 5" appears in the Distance/Incline display. When the fitness test program is selected, the Time/Pace display will show that the program is 9 minutes long. During the fitness test program, the matrix will show a moving graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will appear. 4 Enter your gender. When the fitness test program is selected, the letters "GEn" (gender) and an "m" (male) or an "F" (female) will flash in the Calories/Pulse display. Press the + and - buttons beside the Enter button to select a gender, and then press the Enter button. 5 Enter your age. After you have entered your gender, the word "AGE" and the current age setting will flash in the Calories/Pulse display. If you have already entered your age, simply press the Enter button.

A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking. During the fitness test program, the console will automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill. When the program is completed, the walking belt will slow to a stop and your VO2 max level will appear in the Time/Pace display. Note: If your heart rate exceeds 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate during the first part of the program, if your heart rate exceeds 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate for more than a few seconds at any time during the program, or if your pulse is not detected for several seconds during the program (the letters "PLS" will flash in the Calorie/Pulse display), the fitness test will stop and a zero (0) will appear in the Time/Pace display. 7 Follow your progress with the main display.
