ProForm PFTL54806.0 User Manual page 15

The left side of the display
will show the elapsed
time, the distance that
you have walked or run,
and the incline level of the
treadmill. Note: When a
program is selected, the display will show the time
remaining in the program instead of the elapsed
time.
The right side of the dis-
play will show the ap-
proximate number of
calories you have
burned while walking or
running, the speed of the
walking belt, and your pace in minutes per mile.
The right side of the display will also show your
heart rate when you use the thumb pulse sensor or
the optional chest pulse sensor.
Note: The console can display speed and dis-
tance in either miles or kilometers. To find out
which unit of measurement is selected or to
change the unit of measurement, see THE IN-
FORMATION MODE on page 17. Note: For sim-
plicity, all instructions in this section refer to
miles.
To reset the display, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you use the thumb pulse sensor and
the optional chest pulse sensor at the same
time, the console will not display your heart
rate accurately.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and place your left thumb on the pulse sen-
sor (see the drawing on page 13). 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, a heart-
shaped indicator in the right display will flash each
time your heart beats, one or two dashes will ap-
pear, 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.
Turn on the fan if desired.
7
The fan offers two speed settings. To select a
speed setting or to turn off the fan, press the Fan
button repeatedly. Note: If the fan is on when the
walking belt stops, the fan will automatically turn
off after a few minutes.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
8
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 setting
when the treadmill is folded to the storage posi-
tion or the treadmill will be damaged. Next, re-
move the key from the console and put it in a se-
cure place. Note: If the display remains lit after
the key is removed, the console is in the
"demo" mode. See page 17 and turn off the
demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill,
switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the "off"
position and unplug the power cord.
