The FITNESS TEST program is designed to measure

the relative fitness level you have achieved. For the

best results, the program should be used at a time

when your energy level is high; the program should not

be used if you have already exercised during the day.

The FITNESS TEST program consists of seven 4-

minute periods, and is followed by a 2-minute cool-

down period. The speed and/or incline of the treadmill

will automatically increase at the beginning of each

period. Follow the steps below to use the program.

Insert the key fully into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11.

Select the FITNESS TEST program.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will

automatically be selected, as shown by the MANUAL

indicator. Press the

PROGRAM SELECT

button repeatedly until

the FITNESS TEST indi-

cator lights. The letters

²AGE³ will begin to flash

in the SPEED/INCLINE

display. Note: If the walking belt is moving when

the FITNESS TEST program is selected, the walk-

ing belt will slow to a stop. In addition, if the incline

of the treadmill is higher than 1.5%, it will automati-

cally decrease to 1.5%.

Put on the chest pulse sensor.

You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use

the FITNESS TEST program.

See HOW TO USE

THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR on page 7. Note:

The program can be started without your heart rate

being detected; however, the program will automat-

ically stop if your heart rate is not detected 4

minutes after the program is started.

Enter your age.

You must enter your age into the console to use

the FITNESS TEST program.

To enter your age,

see step 5 on page 15.

If you have already

entered your age, you must press one of the

SET AGE buttons to verify the age setting.

Press the START button to start the program.

When the START button

is pressed, the TIME/

PACE display will begin

counting up and the

DISTANCE/LAPS

display will show an

²L 1³ (level 1), indicating that the first 4-minute

period of the FITNESS TEST program has begun.

The incline of the treadmill will automatically adjust

to 3%, and the walking belt will begin to move at

1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

When the first 4-minute period of the program is

completed, the DISTANCE/LAPS display will show

an ²L 2,³ indicating that the second 4-minute period

has begun. The incline will increase to 4%, and the

speed will increase to 2.5 mph. At the beginning of

each 4-minute period, the speed and/or incline of

the treadmill will automatically increase. The

FITNESS TEST will continue in this manner

until

your heart rate reaches 70% of your theoretical

maximum heart rate, and the current 4-minute

period is completed. The FITNESS TEST will then

end, regardless of how many periods remain.

When the FITNESS

TEST is completed, the

letter ²C³ will be shown

in the DISTANCE/

LAPS display, indicating

that the cool-down

period has begun. The TIME/PACE display will then

begin counting down. When only ten seconds

remain in the cool-down period, the incline of the

treadmill will automatically decrease to 1.5%.
