Step 19: Verify (TC1000 only) or Calibrate (TC3000 & TC5000) Do not use the machine for exercise purposes without completing Calibration (TC3000/5000) or Speed Sensor Verification (TC1000). It is important to calibrate (TC3000/5000) or verify speed sensor operation (TC1000) after a power outage or after any electrical repair or replacement.
Calibration (TC3000 & TC5000) Note: During calibration, observe the walking belt alignment. Belts do not need to be perfectly centered, but if they are far enough from center to cause a scraping sound, follow the Belt Alignment instructions in the Owner’s Manual.
If Calibration Fails (Screen Displays “Cal Fail” Message): This error usually indicates that the console is unable to determine the speed of the belts. Take the following steps: 1. Unplug the unit and remove the three back covers. 2. Leave plastic covers off and contact customer care for assistance immediately at 1-800-605-3369. Explanation of Calibration Display Messages (for information only): During calibration, the TIME display will show you text messages updating you as to the status of calibration.
