HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you turn on the power. If you do
not do this, you may damage the console displays
or other electrical components.
Plug in the power cord (see
page 14). Next, locate the
power switch on the treadmill
frame near the power cord.
Make sure that the switch is
in the reset position.
IMPORTANT: The console may feature a display
demo mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is
displayed in a store. If the displays light as soon
as you plug in the power cord and press the power
switch into the reset position, the demo mode is
turned on. To turn off the demo mode, hold down
the Stop button for a few seconds. If the displays
remain lit, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page
20 to turn off the demo mode.
Next, stand on the
foot rails of the
treadmill. Find the
clip attached to the
key (see the draw-
ing at the right) and
slide the clip onto the
waistband of your
clothes. Then, insert
the key into the con-
sole. After a moment,
the displays will light.
IMPORTANT: In an emergency, the key can be
pulled from the console, causing the walking belt
to slow to a stop. Test the clip by carefully taking
a few steps backward; if the key is not pulled from
the console, adjust the position of the clip.
IMPORTANT: Before you use the treadmill, take
the following steps to ensure that the console
shows the correct incline level of the treadmill:
First, press the Incline increase button once. Next,
press either the Incline decrease button or the low-
est Quick Incline button to set the treadmill to its
lowest setting. When the frame stops moving, the
treadmill is ready for use.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER at the left.
2. Select the manual mode.
When the key is
inserted, the manual
mode will be selected.
If you have selected
a workout, press the
Manual Control button.
Only zeros should appear in the displays.
3. Start the walking belt.
To start the walking belt, press the Start button or
one of the numbered Quick Speed buttons.
If you press the Start button, 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 you press one of the buttons, the speed
setting will change by 0.1 mph; if you hold down
the button, the speed setting will change in incre-
ments of 0.5 mph.
If you press one of the numbered Quick Speed
buttons, the walking belt will gradually change
speed until it reaches the selected speed setting.
To select a speed setting that includes a decimal—
such as 3.5 mph—press two numbered buttons in
succession. For example, to select a speed setting
of 3.5 mph, press the 3 button and then immedi-
ately press the 5 button. Note: This will not function
if the console is set to metric units.
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.
The time will begin to flash in the display. To restart
the walking belt, press the Start button or one of
the numbered Quick Speed buttons.
