THE ProElite CONTROL PANEL
Although the ProSelect
and ProElite treadmills have many advanced features to provide versatility in meeting exercise needs, basic
operation is extremely easy. Basic operation involves setting your TIME and SPEED goals, then pressing the START button. Your
PaceMaster treadmill will gradually accelerate to the set speed, maintain that speed until the timer counts to zero, and then gradually come
to a complete stop. During exercise, the time remaining, current speed, distance traveled, your current heart rate, calories burned, and
Aerobic Points earned are displayed.
MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY
- The MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY, with its red cord and garment clip, is a safety feature. Before you begin your
workout, clip the safety cord to your clothing at waist level. This safety key provides a means of powering down the treadmill in an
emergency situation. The safety key is also the ON/OFF switch. PaceMaster treadmills will not operate unless the MAGNETIC SAFETY
KEY is engaged. To turn on your treadmill, insert the MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY into the recess on the control panel. During exercise, an
emergency stop can be made at any time by pulling on the cord to release the key from its slot
.
TIP
:
Using the key to stop your PaceMaster treadmill is an emergency procedure only!
To end your exercise routine, press the
STOP button or allow the timer to count down to zero. Once the treadmill has come to a complete stop, remove the MAGNETIC SAFETY
KEY. When not in use, store the MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY
in a safe place to prevent unauthorized use.

treadmills. For details, refer to the WARM UP AND COOL DOWN section in this manual.
TIME + AND – BUTTONS
– Prior to beginning your workout, these buttons are used to set your desired exercise time. Each press of the
TIME + button adds 1 minute to the clock. While in a manual program, you can increase or decrease the remaining time in one-minute
increments by pressing the TIME + or
--
button.
TIME DISPLAY WINDOW –
If you have chosen warm up and/or cool down, time will be displayed as a 5-minute countdown for the warm up
phase, a countdown for the main exercise phase and then a 5-minute countdown for the cool down phase. In Quick Start, the TIME
DISPLAY WINDOW shows elapsed time. Time is displayed in minutes and seconds until it reaches 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Then time
is displayed in hours and minutes.

1:15 represents one hour and 15 minutes.
DISTANCE DISPLAY WINDOW –
Prior to beginning a program, this window displays the total distance you will exercise based on the time
and speed entered. During your program, the DISTANCE DISPLAY WINDOW shows the distance thus far.
DATA DISPLAY WINDOW –
While selecting a preset workout, the program and level number will appear in the DATA display window.
Once the program and level is selected, your PaceMaster treadmill
calculates calorie expenditure, based on the weight you entered, and the
intensity of your workout. When calories are displayed, the CALORIES indicator light will be illuminated.
Aerobic Points is a system of measuring the aerobic benefit of the workout. You can see how many Aerobic Points you have earned at any
