Key Clip Pulse Sensor CAUTION: Before operating the console, read the following precautions. • Do not stand on the walking belt when turning on the power. • Always wear the clip (see the drawing above) whilst operating the treadmill. When the key is removed from the console, the walking belt will stop. • Adjust the speed in small increments. • To reduce the possibility of electric shock, keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the console and use only a sealable water bottle. STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION Before operating the console, make sure that the power cord is properly plugged in. (See HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 7.) In addition, make sure that batteries are installed in the console. (See step 5 on page 6.) Step onto the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the clip attached to the key (see the drawing above), and slide the clip securely onto the waistband of your clothes. Test the clip by carefully taking a few steps backward until the key is pulled from the console. If the key is not pulled from the console, adjust the position of the clip as needed. Then, remove the key from the console. Follow the steps below to operate the console. 1 Insert the key fully into the power switch. Note: Inserting the key will not turn on the displays. The displays will turn on when the display button is pressed or when the walking belt is started. If you just installed batteries, the displays will already be on. 2 Reset the console and start the walking belt. Move 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 move 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 move the speed control to the RESET position. 8 3 Adjust the incline of the treadmill as desired. To change the incline, press the top or bottom of the incline control until the desired incline level is reached. 4 Follow your progress with the monitor display. The monitor display offers six modes that provide instant exercise feedback: Speed-This mode shows the speed of the walking belt, in miles per hour or kilometres per hour. Time-This mode shows the length of time you have exercised. Note: If the walking belt is stopped for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause. Distance-This mode shows the distance that you have walked or run, in miles or kilometers. Fat Calories-This mode shows the approximate number of fat calories you have burned. (See FAT BURNING on page 14.) Calories-This mode shows the approximate number of calories you have burned. Scan-This mode displays the other five modes, for five seconds each, in a repeating cycle. When the power is turned on, the scan mode will be selected. One mode arrow will appear by the scan symbol and a second Mode Arrows mode arrow will show which mode is currently displayed. If desired, the speed, time, distance, fat calories, or calories mode can be individually selected. Press the mode button repeatedly until a mode arrow appears by the desired mode symbol. Make sure that there is not a mode arrow by the scan symbol. To reset the display, press the display button. 5 Measure your heart rate, if desired. When you are not using the pulse sensor, a "P" will Pulse Sensor appear in the pulse display. To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pressure activated- fully press it down. Do not press too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will be restricted, and your pulse will not be detected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the pulse display Indicator flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three dashes will appear in the display and your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for another 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 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. Try the sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Remember to stand still whilst measuring your pulse. 6 When you are finished, remove the key. Step onto the foot rails, press the stop button, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest setting. Next, remove the key from the console. Keep the key in a secure place. 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. 9
