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 age-predicted maximum heart
rate (see step 3 on page 17 for an explanation of
your age-predicted maximum heart rate). For ex-
ample, if four to six segments of the bar appear,
your heart rate is between 60% and 70% of your
age-predicted 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 19.
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 sen-
sor at the same
time, the con-
sole will not dis-
play your heart
rate accurately. Before using the handgrip pulse
sensor, remove the sheets of clear plastic from
the metal contacts. In addition, make sure that
your hands are clean.
To use the handgrip pulse sensor,
stand on the
foot rails
and hold the handgrip pulse sensor with
your palms resting on the metal contacts;
avoid
moving 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 handgrip pulse sensor is intended to be
used only for heart rate measurement.
Do not
use the handgrip pulse sensor as a handlebar.
Always hold the handrails for support when
you are not measuring 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: If the fan is on when the
walking belt is stopped, the fan will automatically
turn off after a few minutes.
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 become damaged.
Next,
remove the key from the console and put it in a se-
cure place.
Note: If the displays remain lit after
the key is removed, the console is in the
“demo” mode. See page 19 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.
