After you have moved the speed control to the

RESET position, slowly slide it to the right until the

walking belt begins to move at slow speed.

Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin ex-

ercising. 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.

Follow your progress with the monitor display.

The monitor display offers

six modes that provide in-

stant exercise feedback.

Press the display button to

select the desired mode.

The modes are described

below:

Speed—This mode shows your speed, in kilome-

tres or miles per hour.

Time—This mode shows the length of time you

have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for

ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.

Distance—This mode shows the total number of

kilometres or miles you have walked or run.

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.

If desired, press the ON/RESET button to reset

the display at any time.

Measure your heart rate, if desired.

When you are not

using the pulse

sensor, a “P” will

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 pres-

sure 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 de-

tected.

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 then your heart rate will be shown. Hold your

thumb on the pulse 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 pulse sensor and allow the dis-

play to reset. Press down again on the pulse sen-

sor as described above. Try the pulse sensor sev-

eral times until you become familiar with it.

Remember to stand still whilst measuring your

heart rate.

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 a few minutes after the key is removed.

Note: Any time that the walking belt is stopped

and the console buttons are not pressed for a

few minutes, the displays will automatically

turn off in order to conserve the batteries.

HOW TO SELECT KILOMETRES AND MILES

The console can display speed and distance in either

kilometres or miles. To change the unit of measure-

ment, first

UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.

Next, re-

move the six screws attaching the console to the con-

sole base. Lift the console a few inches, being careful

not to pull on the wires, and turn the console over.

Locate the small switch on the back of the console.

Move the switch upward or downward to select kilome-

tres or miles. Re-attach the console to the console

base.

After changing the unit of measurement, re-

move one of the batteries from the console for

about five seconds and then reinsert it. This will

reset the console.
