The right display—This display will show the dis-
tance that you have walked or run, the number of
1/4-mile laps you have completed, the speed of
the walking belt, and the approximate numbers of
calories and fat calories you have burned (see
FAT BURNING on page 29). Note: For a more ac-
curate reading on the number of calories burned,
enter your weight by pressing the + and – buttons
beside the Enter button. When your weight is
shown, press the Enter button. Your weight will be
saved in memory.
The right display will also show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the
optional chest pulse sensor. In addition, during
heart rate programs the right display will show a
heart rate bar that shows your heart rate as a per-
centage of your estimated maximum heart rate
(see step 3 on page 17 for an explanation of your
estimated maximum heart rate). For example, if
four to six segments of the bar appear, your heart
rate is between 60% and 70% of your estimated
maximum heart rate.
Note: The console can display speed and dis-
tance in either miles or kilometers. The letters
“MPH” or “Km/H” will appear in the right display to
show which unit of measurement is selected. To
change the unit of measurement, see THE IN-
FORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE on page 24.
For simplicity, all instructions in this section
refer to miles.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and
the optional chest pulse sensor at the same time,
the console will
not display your
heart rate accu-
rately. Before
using the hand-
grip pulse sen-
sor, remove the
clear plastic film
from the metal
contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor. In addi-
tion, make sure that your hands are clean.
To use the handgrip pulse sensor, stand on the
foot rails and hold the pulse sensor with your
palms resting on the metal contacts;
avoid mov-
ing your hands. When your pulse is detected, the
heart-shaped indicator in the right display will
flash each time your heart beats, one or two
dashes (– –) will appear, and then your heart rate
will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate
reading, continue to hold the contacts for
about 15 seconds.
Note: The pulse bar is intended to be used only
for heart rate measurement.
Do not use the
pulse bar as a handlebar. Always hold the
handrails for support when you are not mea-
suring your heart rate.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan, press the button below the fan.
To turn on the fan at high speed, press the button
a second time. To turn off the fan, press the but-
ton 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 from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest
setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting
when the treadmill is folded to the storage posi-
tion or the treadmill will be damaged. Next, re-
move the key from the console and put it in a se-
cure place.
Note: If the displays on the console
remain lit after the key is removed, the console
is in the “demo” mode. See page 24 and turn off
the demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill,
switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off”
position and unplug the power cord.
