COMPUTER OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
0.4 km (1/4-mile) Track:
The 0.4 km track (1/4-mile) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing dot
indicates your progress. In the center of the track there is a lap counter for reference.
Pulse Grip Feature:
The Pulse (Heart Rate) window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the
workout. You must use both left and right stainless steel sensors on the front cross bar to pick up
your pulse. Pulse values are displayed anytime the computer is receiving a Grip Pulse signal. You
may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate Control. Note: Refer to Important Safety
Instructions (page 3) concerning Pulse Grip operation. The grip sensors may not be accurate when
you are running on the treadmill.
Calorie Display:
Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout. Note: This is only a
rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which cannot be used for medical
purposes.
Auto-Pilot feature:
This unique feature allows the user to instantly enter the Heart Rate Control mode at any time with
the press of a button.
The HR2 program button also doubles as the Auto-Pilot button.
During any program the user may press the Auto-Pilot button to enter the HRC program. Your
current heart rate (the heart rate you are at when you press Auto-Pilot) will be maintained
automatically by the Auto-Pilot program. You may press the elevation/incline up or down buttons to
change your target heart rate while in the Auto-Pilot mode.
To Turn Treadmill Off:
The display will automatically turn off (blank out) after 30 minutes of inactivity. This function is called
sleep mode. In sleep mode, the treadmill will power down most everything except for a minimum of
circuitry for detecting key presses and the safety key so it will start up again if these are activated.
There is only a tiny amount of current used in sleep mode (about the same as your TV when it is
turned off) and it is perfectly fine to leave the main power switch on in sleep mode.
Of course you may also remove the safety key or turn off the main power switch to power down the
treadmill.
Optional / Speakers:
There is an Audio Input Jack on the front of the console and built-in speakers. You may plug any
low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include MP3, Ipod, portable radio, CD
player or even a TV or computer audio signal. There is an audio patch cable included and also a
headphone jack for private listening.
