The Time/Distance display will begin to flash.
Note: During the first few minutes that the treadmill
is used, inspect the alignment of the walking belt,
and align it if necessary (see page 15).
Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.

Follow your progress with the three displays.
Fat Calories/Calories/
Pulse display—This
display shows the ap-
proximate numbers of fat
calories and calories you
have burned (see FAT
BURNING on page 17).
The display will change
from one number to the other every few seconds,
as shown by the mode indicators. This display will
also show your heart rate when you use the pulse
sensor (see step 5).
Time/Distance
display—This display
shows the elapsed time
and the distance that
you have walked or run.
The display will change
from one number to the
other every few seconds, as shown by the mode
indicators. Note: When the Stop button is pressed,
this display will flash.
Speed display—This
display shows the speed
of the walking belt.
Note: The console can
display speed and dis-
tance in either miles or
kilometers. To change
the unit of measure-
ment, hold down the
Stop button while in-
serting the key into the console. An “E” for English
miles or an “M” for metric kilometers will appear in
the Speed display. Press the Speed + button to
change the unit of measurement. When the de-
sired unit of measurement is selected, remove the
key and then reinsert it.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
To measure your
heart rate, stand on
the foot rails and
place your thumb
on the pulse sen-
sor.
Do not press
too hard, or the
circulation in your
thumb will be restricted and your pulse will not
be detected. After a few seconds, the heart-
shaped indicator in the Fat Calories/Calories/
Pulse display will begin to flash, and then your
heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on the
pulse sensor for about 15 seconds for the most ac-
curate 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 pulse sensor for a few seconds.
Then, place your thumb on the pulse sensor as de-
scribed above. Remember to stand still while mea-
suring your heart rate.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan, press the fan button on the left
side of the console. To turn on the fan at high
speed, press the button a second time. To turn off
the fan, press the button a third time. Note: A few
minutes after the walking belt is stopped, the fan
will automatically turn off.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
key.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
remove the key from the console. Keep the key in a
secure place. Move the reset/off circuit breaker to
the off position and unplug the power cord.
