Distance

—The center

section of the main dis-
play will show the dis-
tance that you have
walked or run.

Calories

—This section

of the main display will
show the approximate
number of calories you
have burned.

Pulse/% Max

—When

you are using the hand-
grip pulse sensor or the
optional chest pulse
sensor, this section of
the main display will
show your heart rate (see step 6 on this page).
When a pulse-driven program is selected, the dis-
play will show your heart rate and the 

correspond-

ing percentage

of your 

estimated maximum heart

rate

. (See step 5 on page 16 for an explanation of

your estimated maximum heart rate.) The display
will change from one number to the other every
seven seconds.

Speed

—The right end

of the main display will
show the speed of the
walking belt. 

Note: The console can
display speed and dis-
tance in either miles or
kilometers. To find
which unit of measure-
ment is selected, 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 on the right end of
the main 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. 

Note: For simplicity, all

instructions in this manual refer to miles.

To reset the displayed time, distance, and calories
at any time, press the RESET button.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you use the
handgrip pulse
sensor and the op-
tional chest pulse
sensor at the same
time, the console
will not display your
heart rate accu-
rately. 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 measure your heart rate, 

stand on the foot

rails

and hold the handgrip pulse sensor with both

hands. Your palms must be resting on the upper
contacts and your fingers must be touching the
lower contacts—

avoid moving your hands

.

When your pulse is detected, the words ACQUIR-
ING PULSE will appear in the main display and
then your heart rate will be shown. 

For the most

accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold
the contacts for at least 15 seconds.

When you are finished exercising, stop the
walking belt and remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails and press the STOP
button. Next, remove the key from the console and
put the key in a secure place. 

Note: If the dis-

plays and indicators on the console remain lit
after the key is removed, the console is in the
“demo” mode. See page 21 and turn off the
demo mode.

When the treadmill is not in use, switch the on/off
switch near the power cord to the “off” position and
unplug the power cord.
