BATTERY INSTALLATION

The console requires two 1,5V batteries (included).
Alkaline batteries are recommended. Open the battery
cover as shown in the drawing at the upper right. Insert
two batteries into the battery compartment, making
sure that the negative (–) ends of the batteries are
touching the springs in the battery compartment.
Close the battery cover, push up on the battery cover

tab, and then push the tab forward as shown in the
inset drawing. Be sure that the tab locks into place.

STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION 

Before operating the console, make sure that the
power cord is properly plugged in. (See HOW TO
PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 7.) 

Next, step onto the foot
rails of the treadmill. Find
the clip attached to the key,
and slide the clip onto the
waistband of your clothing.

Follow the steps on page 9 to operate the console.

CAUTION:

Before operating the 

console, read the following precautions.

• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-

ing on the power. 

• Always wear the clip (see the drawing at

the lower right) while using the treadmill.
When the key is removed from the console,
the walking belt will stop.

• Adjust the speed in small increments.

• To reduce the possibility of electric shock,

keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids
on the console and use only a sealable
water bottle.

Insert the key into the power switch. 

Inserting the key will not
turn on the displays. The
displays will turn on when
the ON/RESET button is
pressed or when the walk-
ing belt is started. Note: If
you just installed batteries,
the displays will already be on.

Reset the speed control.

Slide the speed control
down to the RESET 
position. Note: Each time
the walking belt is
stopped, the speed con-
trol must be moved to the
RESET position before
the walking belt can be
restarted. 

Start the walking belt.

After you have moved the speed control to the
RESET position, slowly slide it upward until the
walking belt begins to move at slow speed.
Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin exer-
cising. Change the speed of the walking belt as de-
sired by sliding the speed control. 

To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and
slide the speed control to the RESET position.

Follow your progress with the monitor modes.

Note: The console can dis-
play distance and speed in
either kilometres or miles
(see HOW TO SELECT
KILOMETRES AND MILES
on page 10). The monitor
display offers six modes
that provide instant exercise feedback. 

Speed—This mode shows the speed of the walk-
ing belt. 

Time—This mode shows the elapsed time. Note:
If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer,
the time mode will pause.

Distance—This mode shows the total distance
you have walked or run since the key was in-
serted.

Fat Calories—This mode shows the approximate
number of fat calories you have burned. (See Fat
Burning on page 14.)

Calories—This mode shows the approximate num-
ber of calories you have burned.

Scan—This mode displays the other five modes,
for five seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

To reset the displays at any time, press the
ON/RESET button.  

Measure your pulse, if desired.

To use the pulse 
sensor, stand on the
foot rails and place your
thumb on the pulse sen-
sor as shown. The pulse
sensor is pressure-acti-
vated; fully press it
down. Do not press
too hard, or the circu-
lation in your thumb
will be restricted, and
your pulse will not be
detected. 
Next, raise
your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator
in the pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your
thumb at this level. After 5 to 10 seconds, your
pulse will be shown. Hold your thumb on the pulse
sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accu-
rate reading. If the displayed pulse appears to be
too high or too low, or if your pulse is not displayed,
lift your thumb off the pulse sensor and allow the
display to reset. Press down again on the sensor as
described above.

Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown,
and that you are applying the proper amount of
pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor
several times until you become familiar with it. Re-
member to stand still whilst measuring your pulse.

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

Step onto the foot rails, stop the walking belt and
remove the key from the console. The displays will
turn off about five minutes after the key is removed.
Note: Any time that the walking belt is stopped
and the ON/RESET button is not pressed for
five minutes, the displays will automatically
turn off in order to conserve the batteries.
