CAUTION:

Before operating the 

console, read the following precautions.

¥ Do not stand on the walking belt when turning

on the power. 

¥ Always wear the clip (see the drawing above)

while using the treadmill. When the key is re-
moved from the console, the walking belt will
stop.

¥ Adjust the speed in small increments.

¥ The training zones marked beside the speed

control are general guidelines only. See page
14 for more information.

¥ To reduce the possibility of electric shock,

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

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The console requires 

two "AA" batteries

(not in-

cluded). Alkaline batteries are recommended. To in-
stall batteries, open the battery cover as shown below.
Press two batteries into the battery compartment, with
the negative (Ð) ends of the batteries touching the

springs. Close the battery cover, push up on the tab,
and then push the tab forward as shown. 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 (see the drawing above), and
slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothing. 

Test

the clip by carefully taking a few steps backward
until the key is pulled from the console. If the key
is not pulled from the console, adjust the position
of the clip as needed. 

Follow the steps on page 9 to operate the console.
