(See HOW TO PLUG IN
THE POWER CORD on
page 7.) In addition, make
sure that the on/off switch,
located near the power
cord, is in the on position. 

When you are ready to begin exercising, 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 below to operate the console.

Insert the key into the console.

A moment after the key is
inserted, the four displays
and the manual indicator
will light. In addition, a
number will appear in the
CD display for five sec-
onds. This number indicates the current volume set-
ting of the CD player.

Select the manual mode.

When the key is inserted,
the manual mode will au-
tomatically be selected.
If you have selected the
CD program mode,
press the SELECT
MODE button to select the manual mode.

Press the SPEED 

button to start the walking

belt.

A moment after the but-
ton is pressed, the walk-
ing belt will begin to
move at 1.0 mph. Hold
the handrails and begin
walking. 

As you exercise, change the speed of the walking
belt as desired by pressing the SPEED buttons.
Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the
speed will change by 0.1 mph. If the buttons are
held down, the speed will change in increments of
0.5 mph. The speed range is 0.5 mph to 10.0 mph.

To stop the walking belt, press the STOP button.
The four displays will pause and the TIME/PACE
display will begin to flash. To restart the walking
belt, press the SPEED 

button. To stop the walk-

ing belt and reset the displays, press the STOP
button, remove the key, and then reinsert the key.

Adjust the incline as desired.

To vary the intensity of
your exercise, change
the incline of the tread-
mill as desired by press-
ing the INCLINE buttons.
Each time one of the
buttons is pressed, the
incline will change by 0.5%. The incline range is
1.5% to 10%. Note: When one of the INCLINE but-
tons is pressed, the INCLINE/DISTANCE 
display will show the incline setting for seven 
seconds. After the buttons are pressed, it may
take a moment for the treadmill to reach the se-
lected incline setting.  

Follow your progress with the four displays.
