Follow the steps below to operate the console. 1 Insert the key fully 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 and start the walking belt. Slide the speed control fully to the left 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 slide the speed control to the right 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. During the first few minutes that the treadmill is used, inspect the alignment of the walking belt, and align it if necessary (see page 13). 3 Monitor your progress with the two displays. TIME/DISTANCE display-This display Indicator shows the elapsed time and the distance that you have walked or run, in kilometers or miles. Every few seconds, the display will change from one number to the other, as shown by the indicator in the display. CALS/FAT CALS/ SPEED display-This Indicator display shows the ap- proximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 14). In addition, the display shows the speed of the walking belt, in kilometers per hour or miles per hour. Every few seconds, the display will change from one number to the next, as shown by the indicator in the display. To reset the displays at any time, press the ON/RESET button. Note: The displays can show distance and speed in kilometers or miles. To change from one measurement to the other, press and hold the ON/RESET button for five seconds. 4 Measure your heart rate, if desired. To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your Pulse Sensor 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 re- stricted, and your pulse will not be de- tected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the CALS/FAT CALS/ SPEED 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 sensor for an- other 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. Try the sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Remember to stand still whilst measuring your heart rate. 9
