5. Follow your progress with the displays.
The matrix
—When you
select the manual
mode, the matrix will
display a track that rep-
resents 1/4 mile (400
meters). As you exer-
cise, the indicators
around the track will appear in succession until the
entire track appears. The track will then disappear
and the indicators will again begin to appear in
succession.
The Time display
—
The Time display will
show the elapsed time.
Note: When a workout
is selected, the display
will show the time re-
maining in the workout instead of the elapsed time.
The Distance/Incline
display
—The
Distance/Incline display
can show the distance
that you have walked or
run. The display will
also show the incline of the treadmill for several
seconds each time the incline changes.
The Calories/Pulse
display
—The
Calories/Pulse display
can show the approxi-
mate number of calories
you have burned. The
display will also show your heart rate when you
use the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse
sensor.
The Speed display
—
The Speed display will
show the speed of the
walking belt.
To reset the console, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and
the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the
console will not display your heart rate accu-
rately.
See page 13 for information about the chest
pulse sensor.
Before using
the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the
sheets of clear
plastic from the
metal contacts.
In addition,
make sure that
your hands are
clean.
To measure your heart rate,
stand on the foot
rails
and hold the metal contacts on the handrail
for approximately ten seconds—
avoid moving
your hands.
When your pulse is detected, several
dashes will appear in the display and then your
heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate
heart rate reading, continue to hold the con-
tacts for about 15 seconds.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan features high and low speed settings.
Press the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan
speed or to turn off the fan. Note: If the fan is on
when the walking belt is stopped, the fan will turn
off automatically after a few minutes.
8. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest
setting. The incline must be at the lowest set-
ting when you fold the treadmill to the storage
position, or you may damage the treadmill.
Next, remove the key from the console and put it in
a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch
the reset/off circuit breaker to the off position and
unplug the power cord.
IMPORTANT: If you do
not do this, the treadmillʼs electrical compo-
nents may wear prematurely.
