4. Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the
Incline increase and decrease buttons. Each time
you press a button, the incline setting will change
by 0.5 percent; if you hold down a button, the in-
cline setting will change quickly.
5. Follow your progress with the displays.
The track
—The track
represents a distance of
400 meters (1/4 mile).
As you walk or run on
the treadmill, the indica-
tors around the track
will appear in succession until the entire track ap-
pears. The track will then disappear and the indica-
tors will again begin to appear in succession.
The left display
—As
you exercise, the left
display can show the
elapsed time and the
approximate number of
calories that you have
burned. The left display will also show the incline of
the treadmill each time the incline level changes.
The display also shows your heart rate when you
use the heart rate monitor (see step 6 on this
page). Note: When you use a preset workout, the
left display will show the time remaining in the
workout instead of the elapsed time.
The right display
—
The right display can
show the speed of the
walking belt and the
distance that you have
walked or run.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
To measure your heart rate,
stand on the foot
rails
and place your thumb on the heart rate moni-
tor (see the drawing on page 10).
Do not press
too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will
be restricted and your pulse may not be de-
tected.
When your pulse is detected, the small
heart symbol in the left display will flash and your
heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate
heart rate reading, hold your thumb on the
heart rate monitor for at least 15 seconds.
If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or
too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift
your thumb for a few seconds, and then reposition
your thumb on the heart rate monitor. Remember
to stand still while measuring your heart rate.
7. 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 or you may damage the treadmill when you
fold it to the storage position.
Next, remove the
key from the console and put it in a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, press
the power switch into the off position and unplug
the power cord.
IMPORTANT: If you do not do
this, the treadmillʼs electrical components may
wear prematurely.
