1 Insert the key into the power switch. 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 already be on. 2 Reset the speed control. Slide the speed control down 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. 3 Start the walking belt. After you have moved the speed control to the RESET position, slowly slide it upward 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 sliding the speed control. To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and slide the speed control to the RESET position. 4 Follow your progress with the monitor modes. Note: The console can dis- play distance and speed in either kilometres or miles. (See HOW TO SELECT Arrow KILOMETRES AND MILES on page 10.) The monitor display offers six modes that provide instant exercise feedback: Speed-This mode shows the speed of the walking belt. Time-This mode shows the elapsed time. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause. Distance-This mode shows the total distance you have walked or run since the key was inserted. 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. To reset the displays at any time, press the ON/RESET button. 5 Measure your pulse, if desired. To use the pulse sensor, 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 flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After 5 to 10 seconds, your pulse will be shown. Hold your thumb on the pulse 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 pulse 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 pulse sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Remember to stand still whilst measuring your pulse. 6 When you are finished exercising, stop the walking belt and remove the key. Step onto the foot rails, stop the walking belt and remove the key from the console. The displays will turn off about five minutes after the key is removed. Note: Any time that the walking belt is stopped and the ON/RESET button is not pressed for five minutes, the displays will automatically turn off in order to conserve the batteries. 9
