Follow your progress with the LED track and
4
the four displays.
The LED
TrackÑThe LED
track represents
a distance of 1/4
mile. As you ex-
ercise, the indica-
tors around the
track will light one
at a time until you
have completed 1/4 mile. A new lap will then begin.
DISTANCE/LAPS
displayÑThis display
shows the distance that
you have walked and
the number of laps you
have completed. The
display will change from one number to the other
every seven seconds. An ÒLÓ will appear in the dis-
play when the number of laps is shown. Note: If the
KPH indicator beside the SPEED display is lit, the
distance will be displayed in kilometers; if the indi-
cator is not lit, the distance will be displayed in miles.
SPEED displayÑThis
display shows the speed
of the walking belt, in
miles per hour or kilome-
ters per hour. If the KPH
indicator is lit, the speed
will be displayed in kilometers per hour. Note: To
change the unit of measurement, hold down the
START/RESET button for about seven seconds.
CALS/FAT CALS/
PULSE displayÑThis
display shows the ap-
proximate numbers of
calories and fat calo-
ries you have burned.
(See BURNING FAT on page 14 for an explanation
of fat calories.) Every seven seconds, the display
will change from one number to the other. The FAT
indicator will light when the number of fat calories is
shown. Note: This display also shows your pulse
when the pulse sensor is used.
TIME displayÑThis
display shows the total
time that you have
walked since the display
was reset.
Note: If the walking belt is stopped and no
console buttons are pressed for five minutes,
the displays will automatically turn off. To light
the displays, press the START/RESET button.
To reset the displays,
press the START/
RESET button. The dis-

moment and then light.
Measure your pulse, if desired.

Stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the
pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pres-
sure-activatedÑfully press it down. (Do not press
too hard, or the
circulation in
your thumb will
be restricted,
and your pulse
will not be de-
tected.) Next,
raise your thumb
slightly until the
heart-shaped
indicator by the
CALS/FAT CALS/
PULSE display
flashes steadily.
Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds,
three dashes will appear in the display and your
pulse will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor
for another 15 seconds for the most accurate read-
ing. If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or
too low, or if your pulse is not displayed, lift your
thumb off the sensor and allow the display to reset.
Press down again on the sensor as described above.
Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown,
and that you are applying the proper amount of pres-
sure to the pulse sensor. Try the sensor several
times until you become familiar with it. Remember to
stand still while measuring your pulse.
