HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you turn on the power. If you do
not do this, you may damage the console display
or other electrical components.
Plug in the power cord
(see page 20). Next, locate
the power switch on the
treadmill frame near the
power cord. Press the
power switch into the reset
position.
IMPORTANT: The console features a display demo
mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is dis-
played in a store. If the demo mode is turned on,
the screen will show a demo presentation after you
plug in the power cord and press the power switch
into the reset position, before you insert the key. To
turn off the demo mode, see step 7 on page 30.
Next, stand on the
foot rails of the
treadmill. Locate the
clip attached to the
key, and slide the
clip securely onto
the waistband of
your clothes. Then,
insert the key into
the console.
Note: It
may take a minute for the console to be ready for
use. IMPORTANT: In an emergency, the key can be
pulled from the console, causing the walking belt
to slow to a stop. Test the clip by carefully taking
a few steps backward; if the key is not pulled from
the console, adjust the position of the clip.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of mea-
surement is selected, see step 4 on page 30. For
simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to miles.
HOW TO USE THE TOUCH SCREEN
The console features a tablet with a full-color touch
screen. The following information will help you become
familiar with the tablet’s advanced technology:
• The console functions similarly to other tablets. You
can slide or flick your finger against the screen to
move certain images on the screen, such as the
displays in a workout (see step 5 on page 24).
However, you cannot zoom in and out by sliding your
fingers on the screen.
• The screen is not pressure sensitive. You do not
need to press hard on the screen.
• To type information into a text box, touch the text box
to view the keyboard. To use numbers or other char-
acters on the keyboard, touch the ?123 button. To
view more characters, touch the Alt button. Touch the
Alt button again to return to the number keyboard. To
return to the letter keyboard, touch the ABC button.
To use a capital character, touch the button with an
upward-facing arrow. To use multiple capital charac-
ters, touch the arrow button again. To return to the
lowercase keyboard, touch the arrow button a third
time. To clear the last character, touch the button
with a backward-facing arrow and an X.
Use the buttons on the console to navigate the
tablet. Press the home button to return to the main
menu. Press the settings button to access the set-
tings main menu (see page 30). Press the back
button to return to the previous screen.
