Follow your progress with the display.

A track representing

1/4 mile will appear in

the upper right corner

of the display. As you

walk or run on the

treadmill, the indicators

around the track will appear in succession until the

entire track appears. The track will then disappear

and the indicators will again begin to appear in

succession.

The upper left corner

of the display will

show the elapsed

time.

The lower left corner

of the display will

show the distance that

you have walked or

run and the incline

level of the treadmill.

The lower right corner

of the display will

show the speed of the

walking belt and the

approximate number

of calories that you

have burned during your workout. The lower right

corner of the display will also show your heart rate

when you use the handgrip pulse sensor.

Note: The

console can

display

speed and

distance in

either miles

or kilometers. To see which unit of measurement

is selected, select the console’s information mode

by holding down the Stop button, inserting the key

into the console, and then releasing the Stop but-

ton. An “E” for English miles or an “M” for metric

kilometers will appear in the display. Press the

Speed increase button to change the unit of mea-

surement if desired. When the information mode is

selected, the console will also show the total num-

ber of hours that the treadmill has been used and

the total distance that the walking belt has moved

since the treadmill was purchased.

Important:

If a

“d” appears in the display, the console is in the

“demo” mode. This mode is intended to be used

only when a treadmill is displayed in a store. When

the console is in the demo mode, the power cord

can be plugged in, the key can be removed from

the console, and the indicators in the display will

automatically appear in a preset sequence; the

buttons on the console will not operate.

If a “d” ap-

pears when the information mode is selected,

press the Speed decrease button so the “d”

disappears.

To exit the information mode, remove the key from

the console and then reinsert it.

To reset the display at any time, press the Stop

button, remove the key, and then reinsert the key.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

Before using

the handgrip

pulse sensor,

remove the

sheets of

clear plastic

from the metal contacts. In addition, make sure

that your hands are clean.

To measure your heart rate,

stand on the foot

rails

and place your hands on the metal con-

tacts—

avoid moving your hands

. When your

pulse is detected, the heart symbol in the display

will begin to flash each time your heart beats, one

or two dashes will appear, and then your heart

rate will be shown.

For the most accurate heart

rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for

about 15 seconds.

Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan, press the Fan button. To turn

on the fan at high speed, press the button a sec-

ond time. To turn off the fan, press the button a

third time. Note: If the fan is left on when the walk-

ing belt is stopped, the fan will automatically turn

off after a few minutes.

When you are finished exercising, 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 po-

sition or the treadmill will be damaged.

Next,

remove the key from the console and put the key

in a secure place.

When you are finished using the treadmill,

switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off”

position and unplug the power cord.
