5 Follow your progress with the LED track and the four displays. The LED Track-The LED track represents a distance of 1/4 mile (400 m). As you exercise, the indicators around the track will light one at a time until you have completed 1/4 mile. A new lap will then begin. Distance/laps display-This display Arrow shows the distance that you have walked or run and the number of laps you have completed Distance Laps (one lap equals 1/4 mile or 400 m). The display will alternate between one number and the other every seven seconds, as shown by the arrows in the display. Time/pace display- This display shows the elapsed time and your current pace (pace is measured in minutes per mile). The display Time Pace will alternate between one number and the other every seven seconds, as shown by the arrows in the display. Speed display-This display shows the speed of the walking belt, in miles per hour or kilometres per hour. The letters "MPH" or "KPH" will appear to show which unit of measurement is selected. To change the unit of measurement, hold down the start/stop button whilst inserting the key into the console. An "E," for english miles, or an "M," for metric kilometres, will appear in the distance/ laps display. Press the speed L button to change the unit of measurement. Remove and then reinsert the key. Cals/fat cals/pulse display-This display shows the approximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURN- Cals Fat Cals ING on page 22). Every seven seconds, the dis- play will change from one number to the other, as shown by the arrows in the display. This display will also show your heart rate when the pulse sen- sor is used (see step 6). 6 Measure your heart rate, if desired. Stand on the foot rails and Pulse Sensor 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 de- tected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the cals/fat cals/pulse display flashes steadily and a "P" appears in the display. 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 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 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 sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Remember to stand still whilst measuring your pulse. 11
