OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Initially, you may want to keep both hands on the side rails until comfortable walking on your PaceMaster treadmill. Once comfortable, try
removing your hands to let them swing naturally as you would walking outdoors. Always hold on to the side rail or handle bar with one hand
when operating the buttons on the control panel.
THE FIRST STEP
Stand on the center of the treadmill belt. Attach the garment clip on the end of the magnetic safety key to your clothing at waist level. Insert
the safety key into the recess on the control panel keyboard.
SETTING YOUR WEIGHT AND AGE
Your PaceMaster treadmill calculates caloric expenditure based on the formula developed by the American College of Sports Medicine. To
ensure accuracy, your weight is required. A default weight of 150 lbs. has been set at the factory and is displayed in the INCLINE display
window. The SET WEIGHT indicator light will blink. By pressing the INCLINE up or down arrow buttons, you will increase or decrease the
weight. Adjust to the correct weight.
By purchasing the ProSelect
or
ProElite treadmill, you realize the importance of heart rate training. To calculate your theoretical maximum
heart rate and provide you with accurate training parameters and feedback, your age is required. The default age set at the factory is 39
years and is displayed in the SPEED display window. The SET AGE indicator light will blink. Pressing the SPEED + or – buttons will
increase or decrease the age. Adjust to the correct age.
Now press the ENTER/PAUSE button. Once you have entered your weight and age, these are the numbers that will appear each time the
treadmill is powered up until it is changed again.
METRIC UNITS
To select operation in Metric units (kilograms, kilometers and KPH) instead of English units (pounds, miles and MPH), insert the magnetic
safety key. While the Set Weight and Set Age indicator lights are blinking, press and hold the PACE button in the SPEED display window
unit the Metric indicator light in the left corner of the DATA display window is illuminated, then press ENTER.
THE WIRELESS CHEST STRAP TRANSMITTER
The ProSelect and ProElite treadmills come equipped with a WIRELESS CHEST STRAP TRANSMITTER,
which, when worn,
measures the electrical frequency of the heart (number of beats per minute) and relays the information by way of an electro-magnetic field to
a receiver built into the treadmill’s computer. This system is extremely accurate to within one beat per minute.
This chest strap must be worn to activate the HeartSmart
™
Pulse Monitoring System in a Quick Start, Manual, Preset Workout or Custom
program. The Heart Rate Control workouts are non-operational unless the chest strap is worn.
To properly wear your chest strap, adjust the strap to fit snugly and comfortably around your chest with the electrodes (the grooved areas)
directly over your sternum, as pictured below. For best results, the strap should be worn against skin. Moisture is necessary for the
transmitter to function properly. Usually, perspiration is sufficient, but you may need to moisten the electrodes with water.
