HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
11.
Select one of the preset programs.
To select a preset program, press the Aerobic
Programs button repeatedly until the number of the
desired preset program (“P1” through “P26”) ap-
pears in the lower right corner of the display.
When a preset program is selected, the maximum
incline setting of the program and the maximum
speed setting of the program will flash in the dis-
play for a few seconds. The display will also show
the program time and the intensity level (“L1”
through “L10”) of the program. A profile of the
speed settings of the program will scroll across
the matrix.
Adjust the intensity level of the program if
desired.
There are ten intensity levels for each preset pro-
gram. If desired, press the increase or decrease
button next to the Aerobic Programs button to
change the intensity level of the program. If you
change the intensity level, the new maximum
speed setting of the program and the new maxi-
mum incline setting of the program will flash in the
display for a few seconds. In addition, the profile
in the matrix will change to show the new speed
settings of the program.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into several one-minute
segments. One speed setting and one incline set-
ting are programmed for each segment. Note: The
same speed setting and/or incline setting may be
programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.
The speed setting for
the first segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the matrix. (The
incline settings are not
shown in the matrix.)
The speed settings for
the next several seg-
ments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and a
series of tones will sound. If the speed and/or in-
cline of the treadmill is about to change, the speed
setting and/or the incline setting will flash in the
display to alert you.
When the first segment is completed, all speed
settings will move one column to the left . The
speed setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column
and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the
speed and incline settings for the second seg-
ment. Note: If all seven of the indicators in the
Current Segment column are lit,
the speed settings
may move downward so that only the highest indi-
cators appear in the matrix.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
