NordicTrack CMX500 - Manual (Page 11)

TIME/INCLINE
display—When the man-
ual mode or an iFIT.com
program is selected, this
display will show the
elapsed time and the in-
cline level of the treadmill. Every seven seconds,
the display will change from one number to the
other, as shown by the arrows in the display.
When a personal trainer program is selected, the
display will show the time remaining in the program.
CALS./FAT CALS./
PULSE display—This
display shows the ap-
proximate numbers of
calories and fat calories
you have burned (see
FAT BURNING on page 22). Every seven sec-
onds, the display will change from one number to
the other, as shown by the arrows in the display.
The display will also show your heart rate when
the pulse sensor is used (see step 6 on this page).
SPEED/MIN-MILE dis-
play—This display
shows the speed of the
walking belt and your
current pace (pace is
measured in minutes per
mile). Every seven seconds, the display will
change from one number to the other, as shown
by the arrows in the display.
To change the unit of
measurement, hold down
the STOP button while
inserting the key into the
console. An “E,” for
English miles, or an “M,”
for metric kilometers, will appear in the
SPEED/MIN-MILE display. Press the SPEED
▲ ▲
button to change the unit of measurement. When
the desired unit of measurement is selected, re-
move the key and then reinsert it.
Measure your heart rate, if desired.
Note: When using the pulse sensor, make sure
that your hands are clean. The pulse sensor
should also be kept clean with a damp cloth and
mild detergent.
To measure your
heart rate, stand
on the foot rails
and place both
thumbs on the
pulse sensors as
shown. Do not
press too hard,
or the circula-
tion in your
thumbs will be
restricted and
your pulse will
not be detected.
Next, wait until the heart-shaped indicator in the
CALS./FAT CALS./PULSE display flashes
steadily. After a few seconds, three dashes will
appear in the display and then your heart rate will
be shown. Hold your thumbs on the sensor for an-
other 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 thumbs off the sensors and allow the display
to reset. Then, place your thumbs on the sensors
as described above. Try the pulse sensor several
times until you become familiar with it. Remember
to stand still while measuring your heart rate.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
key.
Step onto the foot rails, press the STOP button,
and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest
level. The incline must be at the lowest level
when the treadmill is raised to the storage po-
sition or the treadmill will be damaged. Next,
remove the key from the console and put the key
in a secure place. Note: If the displays and vari-
ous indicators on the console remain lit after
the key is removed, the console is in the
“demo” mode. Refer to page 18 and turn off the
demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill, move
the on/off switch near the power cord to the off
position.
