DIAGRAM OF THE CONSOLE Monitor Display Pulse Display Display Mode Button Button Speed Control Key Pulse Sensor Clip CAUTION: Before operating the console, read the following precautions. • Do not stand on the walking belt when turning on the power. • Always wear the clip (see the drawing above) whilst operating the treadmill. When the key is removed from the console, the walking belt will stop. • Adjust the speed in small increments. • To reduce the possibility of electric shock, keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the console and use only a sealable water bottle. STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION Before operating the console, make sure that the power cord is properly plugged in. (See HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 7.) In addition, make sure that batteries are installed in the console. (See step 5 on page 6.) If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the console, remove it. Stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Next, find the clip attached to the key (see the drawing above), and slide the clip onto your waistband of your clothes. Test the clip by carefully taking a few steps backward until the key is pulled from the console. If the key is not pulled from the console, adjust the position of the clip as necessary. Follow the steps below to operate the console. 1 Insert the key fully into the power switch. Note: Inserting the key will not turn on the displays. The displays will turn on when the display button is pressed or when the walking belt is started. If you just installed batteries, the displays will already be on. 2 Reset the console and start the walking belt. Move the speed control 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 move the speed control 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 moving the speed control. To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and move the speed control to the RESET position. 8 3 Follow your progress with the monitor display. The monitor display offers six modes that provide instant exercise feedback: Speed-This mode shows your speed, in miles per hour or kilometres per hour. Time-This mode shows the length of time you have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds, the time mode will pause. Distance-This mode shows the total number of miles or kilometres 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. When the power is turned on, the scan mode will be selected. One mode indicator will appear by the scan icon and another Mode Indicators mode indicator will show which mode is currently displayed. If desired, the speed, time, distance, fat calories or calories mode can be individually selected. Press the mode button Display Button Mode Button repeatedly until the desired mode indicator appears. Make sure that there is not a mode indicator by the scan icon. To reset the display, press the display button. 4 Measure your pulse, if desired. When you are not using the pulse sensor, a "P" will Pulse Sensor appear in the pulse display. To mea- sure your pulse, stand on the foot rails and 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 detected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the heart- shaped indicator in the Indicator pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three dashes will appear in the display and your pulse will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading. If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or too low, or if your pulse 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. 5 Turn off the power. To turn off the power, simply wait for about six minutes. If the walking belt is stationary and the console buttons are not pressed for six minutes, the power will turn off automatically. 9
