HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER

Plug in the power cord (see HOW TO PLUG IN
THE POWER CORD on page 9).  

Locate the on/off
switch on the treadmill
near the power cord.
Move the on/off switch
to the on position. 

Stand on the foot pads of the treadmill. Find the
clip attached to the key and slide the clip onto the
waistband of your clothing. Next, insert the key
into the console. After a moment, the displays and
various indicators will light. Test the clip by care-
fully 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.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

Insert the key fully into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER above. 

Select the manual mode.

When the key is in-
serted, the manual
mode will be selected
and the Manual indica-
tor will light. If a pro-
gram has been 
selected, press the Program button repeatedly to
select the manual mode.

Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
start the walking belt.

A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move at 1 mph. Hold the handrails
and begin walking. As
you exercise, change
the speed of the walk-
ing belt as desired by
pressing the Speed
buttons. Each time a
button is pressed, the
speed setting will change by 0.1 mph; if a button
is held down, the speed setting will change in in-
crements of 0.5 mph. To change the speed setting
quickly, press the Quick Speed buttons.

To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.
The Time/Segment Time display will begin to
flash. To restart the walking belt, press the Start

button or the Speed + button. 

Note: During the first few minutes that the treadmill
is used, inspect the alignment of the walking belt
and align it if necessary (see page 23).

Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.

To change the incline of
the treadmill, press the
Incline buttons. Each time
a button is pressed, the
incline will change by
0.5%. The incline range is
1.5% to 10%. Note: After the buttons are pressed,
it may take a moment for the treadmill to reach the
selected incline setting.  

Follow your progress with the LED track and
the displays.

The LED Track—When
the manual mode or the
iFIT.com mode is se-
lected, the program dis-
play will show an LED
track representing 1/4
mile. As you exercise,
the indicators around the track will light in sequence
until you have completed 1/4 mile. A new lap will
then begin. 

Distance/Incline/
Laps display
—This dis-
play shows the distance
that you have walked, the
incline level of the tread-
mill, and the number of
1/4-mile laps you have completed. The display will
change from one number to the next every seven
seconds. The Incline indicator or the Laps indicator
will light when the incline level or the number of
laps is shown. Note: Each time the Incline buttons
are pressed, the display will show the current in-
cline setting for several seconds.

Time/Segment Time dis-
play
—When the manual
mode or the iFIT.com
mode is selected, this dis-
play will show the elapsed
time. When a personal
trainer program is selected, the display will show
both the time remaining in the program and the
time remaining in the current segment of the pro-
gram. The display will alternate between one num-
ber and the other every seven seconds. The
Segment Time indicator will light when the seg-
ment time is shown.
