HOW TO USE SPEED AND INCLINE PROGRAMS 1 Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 10. 2 Select one of the speed and incline programs. To select a speed and incline program, press one of the twelve speed and incline program buttons. The indicator on the button that you press will light. When a speed and incline program is selected, the Speed display will flash the maximum speed setting of the program for a few seconds, and the Distance/Incline display will flash the maximum incline setting. The Pace/Time display will show how long the program will last. The matrix will show the first seven speed settings of the program. Note: The diagrams on the speed and incline program buttons show how the speed and incline of the treadmill will change during the speed and incline programs. For example, the diagram on the upper left button shows that the speed will gradually increase during the first half of the program and then gradually decrease during the last half; the incline will remain constant. 3 Press the Start button or the Speed increase button to start the program. 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. Each program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. One speed setting and one incline setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same speed setting and/or incline setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. The speed setting for the first segment is shown in Current Segment the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. (The incline set- tings are not shown in the matrix.) The speed settings for the next seven segments are shown in the seven columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. If the speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change, the Speed display and/or the Distance/Incline display will flash to alert you. When the first segment ends, all speed settings will move one column to the left. The speed setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the second segment. Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the speed settings have moved to the left, the speed settings may move downward so that only the highest indicators appear in the matrix. If some of the indicators in the Current Segment column are not lit when the speed settings move to the left again, the speed settings will move back up. The program will continue in this way until the speed setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column and the last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop. If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low at any time during the program, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Speed or Incline buttons. Every few times a Speed button is pressed, an additional indicator will light or darken in the Current Segment column. (If any of the columns to the right of the Current Segment column have the same number of lit indicators as the Current Segment column, an additional indicator may light or darken in those columns as well.) Note: When the next segment of the program begins, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the next segment. 12
