1 Insert the key fully into the console. Inserting the key will not turn on the displays. The displays will turn on when the ON/RESET button is pressed or when the walking belt is started. Note: If you just installed batteries, the displays will be on. 2 Reset the console and start the walking belt. Slide the speed control to the RESET position. Note: Each time the walking belt is stopped, the speed control must be moved to the RESET position before the walking belt can be restarted. Next, slowly slide the speed control until the walking belt begins to move at slow speed. Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin exercising. Change the speed of the walking belt as desired by moving the speed control. To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and slide the speed control to the RESET position. 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). 3 Adjust the incline of the treadmill as desired. To change the incline of the treadmill, press the top or bottom of the incline control until the desired incline level is reached. 4 Follow your progress with the four displays. TIME display-This display shows the elapsed time. DISTANCE display- This display shows the distance that you have walked or run, in miles. SPEED display-This display shows the speed of the walking belt, in miles per hour. CALORIES/ FAT CALORIES/ PULSE display- This display shows the approximate num- bers of calories and Mode Arrows fat calories you have burned. (See FAT BURNING on page 14.) Every few seconds, the display will change from one number to the other, as shown by the mode arrows. This display also shows your pulse when the pulse sensor is used (see step 4). The displays can be reset, if desired, by pressing the ON/RESET button. 5 Measure your pulse if desired. To measure your pulse, stand on the Pulse Sensor foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pressure ac- tivated-fully press it down. Do not press too hard, or the circu- lation in your thumb will be restricted, and your pulse will not be Pulse Indicator detected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three dashes will appear in the display and your pulse will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading. If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or too low, or if your pulse is not displayed, lift your thumb off the sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down again on the sensor as described above. Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown, and that you are applying the proper amount of pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Remember to stand still while measuring your pulse. 6 Turn off the power. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four minutes. If the walking belt is stationary and the console buttons are not pressed for four minutes, the power will turn off automatically. Remove the key from the console and unplug the power cord. 9
