the Speed increase button, or one of the ten num-
bered buttons.
If the Start button or
the Speed increase
button is pressed, the
walking belt will begin
to move at 1 mph. As
you exercise, change
the speed of the walking belt as desired by press-
ing the Speed increase and decrease buttons.
Each time a button is pressed, the speed setting
will change in increments of 0.1 mph; if a button is
held down, the speed setting will change in incre-
ments of 0.5 mph. Note: After the buttons are
pressed, it may take a moment for the walking belt
to reach the selected speed setting.
If one of the ten numbered buttons is pressed, the
walking belt will gradually increase in speed until it
reaches the selected speed setting.
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.
The time will begin to flash in the left display. To

sired incline level is reached.
Follow your progress with the three displays.

The left display—The
left display will show
the elapsed time and
the distance that you
have walked or run
during your workout.
The display will change from one mode to the
other every few seconds.
Note: The console can display distance and
speed in either miles or kilometers, as shown by
the letters MPH or Km/H in the right display. To
change the unit of measurement, see THE IN-
FORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE on page 12.
For simplicity, all instructions in this section
refer to miles.
The center display—
The center display will
show the approximate
number of calories you
have burned during
your workout. Note: If
you set a calorie goal, the display will show the
number of calories remaining to be burned. When
only one calorie remains, the center display will
flash and the console will emit a series of tones.
When you reach your calorie goal, the walking
belt will automatically slow to a stop.
The right display—The right display will show the
speed of the walking belt. The display will also
show your heart rate when you use the pulse
sensor.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
7
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and place your left thumb on the pulse sen-
sor (see the drawing at the top of page 10). Do
not press too hard, or the circulation in your
thumb will be restricted and your pulse may
not be detected. When your pulse is detected, a
heart-shaped indicator in the right display will
flash each time your heart beats, one or two
dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will
be shown. For the most accurate heart rate
reading, hold your thumb on the pulse sensor
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 pulse sensor. Remember to
stand still while measuring your heart rate.
When you are finished, remove the key.

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 setting
or the treadmill will become damaged when it is
folded to the storage position. Next, remove the
key from the console and put it in a secure place.
Note: If the displays remain lit, the console is in the
"demo" mode. See page 12 and turn off the demo
mode.
Switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the "off" posi-
tion and unplug the power cord.
