COMPUTER OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Treadmill Features:
Pause/Stop/Reset:
STEP 1: When the treadmill is running the pause feature may be utilized by pressing the red Stop
key once. This will slowly decelerate the tread-belt to a stop. The incline will go to zero percent.
The Time, Distance and Calorie readings will hold while the unit is in the pause mode. After 5
minutes the display will reset and return to the start up screen.
STEP 2: To resume your exercise when in Pause mode, press the Start key. The speed and incline
will return to their previous settings.
• Pressing the Stop key twice will end the program and a workout summary will be displayed. If
the Stop button is pressed a third time, the console will return to the idle mode (start up) screen. If
the Stop button is held down for more than 3 seconds the console will reset.
Incline:
• Incline may be adjusted anytime after the belt starts moving.
• Press and hold the Adjust ▲▼ keys (console or hand rail) to achieve desired level of effort. You
may also choose a more rapid increase / decrease by selecting desired key, 2 through 12, on
left hand side of console (incline).
• The display will indicate incline numbers as percent of gradient (the same as gradient of a road)
as adjustments are made.
Dot Matrix Center Display (Manual Operation):
Ten rows of tri-color dots indicate each level of a workout. The dots are only to show an
approximate level (speed/incline) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only
an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the Speed / Incline
dot matrix window will build a profile "picture" as values are changed during a workout. There are
twenty-four columns, which indicate time. The 24 columns are divided into 1/24th of the total time
of the program. When the time is counting up from zero (as in quick start) each column represents
1 minute.
Next to the Dot Matrix window are three LED lights labeled: Track, Speed and Incline, along with a
display button. When the Track LED is lit the dot matrix displays the Track profile, when the Speed
LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Speed profile and when the Incline LED is lit the Dot Matrix
displays the Incline profile. You may change the Dot Matrix profile view by pressing the Display
button. After scrolling through the three profiles the Dot matrix will automatically scroll through
the three displays showing each one for four seconds. The LED associated with each profile will
blink while that view is displayed. One more press of the Display button will return you to the Track
profile.
