Select one of the custom programs.

To select ei-

ther of the

custom pro-

grams,

press the

Program

Select but-

ton repeat-

edly. The

word “CUSTOM” will appear in the display. As

each custom program is selected, the maximum

speed setting of the program and the maximum

incline setting of the program will flash in the dis-

play for a few seconds. The display will also show

how long the program will last. The matrix in the

lower part of the display will show the first seven

speed settings of the program.

Note: If only three

columns of indicators appear in the matrix,

see HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM PROGRAM

on page 16.

Press the Start button or the Speed + button to

start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-

mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and

incline settings that you programmed previously.

Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Each custom program is divided into several one-

minute segments. One speed setting and one in-

cline setting are programmed for each segment.

(The same speed setting and/or incline setting

may be programmed for two or more consecutive

segments.) The speed setting for the first segment

will be

shown in the

flashing

Current

Segment

column of

the matrix.

(The incline

settings are not shown in the matrix.) The speed

settings for the next four segments will be shown

in the columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, both the Current Segment

column and the column to the right will flash, a se-

ries of tones will sound, and the speed setting and

the incline setting will flash in the display. When

the first segment ends,

all speed settings will

move one column to the left

. The speed setting for

the second segment will then be shown in the

flashing Current Segment column, and the tread-

mill will automatically adjust to the second speed

and incline settings that you programmed previ-

ously.

The program will continue in this way until the

speed setting for the last segment is shown in the

Current Segment column and the last segment

ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If desired, you can redefine to the program while

using it.

To change the speed or incline setting

for the current segment,

simply press the Speed

or Incline buttons. When the current segment ends,

the new setting will be saved in memory.

To in-

crease the length of the program,

first wait until

the program is completed. Then, press the Start but-

ton and program speed and incline settings for as

many additional segments as desired. When you

have added as many segments as desired, press

the Stop button twice.

To decrease the length of

the program,

press the Stop button twice at any

time before the program is completed.

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop

button. The time will begin to flash in the display.

To restart the program, press the Start button or

the Speed + button. The walking belt will begin to

move at 1 mph. When the next segment of the pro-

gram begins, the treadmill will automatically adjust

to the speed and incline settings for the next seg-

ment.

Follow your progress with the display.

See step 5 on page 11.
