Note: Regardless of which display mode you select,
the speed or incline setting will appear in the dis-
play for a few seconds each time you change the
setting. In addition, your heart rate will appear in the
display each time you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor or the chest pulse sensor (see step 7).
As you exercise, the workout intensity level bar will
indicate the approximate intensity level of your ex-
ercise. For example, if eight of the indicators in the
bar are lit, the bar shows that your intensity level is
ideal for aerobic exercise.

7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either the
handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor
(see page 12 for information about the chest pulse
sensor). Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor
and wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time,
the console will not display your heart rate accu-
rately.
Before using the handgrip pulse sensor, remove
the sheets of clear plastic from the metal contacts.
In addition, make sure that your hands are clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and hold the metal contacts on the handrail—
avoid moving
your hands.
When your
pulse is de-
tected, your
heart rate will
be shown. For
the most ac-
curate heart
rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for
about 15 seconds.
8. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan features high and low speed settings.
Press the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan
speed or to turn off the fan. Note: If the fan is on
when the walking belt is stopped, the fan will turn
off automatically after a few minutes.
9. When you are finished exercising, remove the
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 you fold the treadmill to the storage posi-
tion or you may damage the treadmill. Next, re-
move the key from the console and put it in a secure
place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch
the reset/off circuit breaker to the "off" position and
unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do
not do this, the electrical components of the
treadmill may wear prematurely.
