To Turn On The Power; To Personalize Console Settings - NordicTrack COMMERCIAL 1500 User Manual

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 turning 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 11). Next, locate the
reset/off circuit breaker on
the treadmill frame near the
power cord. Make sure that
the circuit breaker is in the
"reset" position.
IMPORTANT: The console features a display demo
mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is dis-
played in a store. If the displays light as soon as
you plug in the power cord and switch the reset/off
circuit breaker to 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 HOW TO PERSONALIZE
CONSOLE SETTINGS at the right to turn off the
demo mode.
Next, stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Locate the
clip attached to the key (see the drawing on page 12),
and slide the clip securely onto the waistband of your
clothes. Then, insert the key into the console. After a
moment, the displays will light. IMPORTANT: In an
emergency situation, 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: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on
the face of the console, remove the plastic. To pre-
vent damage to the walking platform, wear clean
athletic shoes while using the treadmill. The first
time the treadmill is used, observe the alignment
of the walking belt, and center the walking belt if
necessary (see page 26).
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of mea-
surement is selected, see HOW TO PERSONALIZE
CONSOLE SETTINGS at the right. For simplicity, all
instructions in this manual refer to miles.
HOW TO PERSONALIZE CONSOLE SETTINGS
The console features a settings mode that allows you
to view the total time and total distance the walking
belt has moved, select a system of measurement for
the console, turn on and turn off the display demo
mode, view the audio trainer setting, adjust the volume
and contrast settings, and select an audio equalizer
setting.
Reset
To select the console settings mode, first remove the
Position
key from the console. Then, hold down the Stop button
while reinserting the key into the console.
When the settings mode is selected, the top of the dis-
play will show the total number of hours that the tread-
mill has been used and the total number of miles or
kilometers that the walking belt has moved.
The display will show the word ENGLISH for miles or
the word METRIC for kilometers to indicate which sys-
tem of measurement is selected. To change the sys-
tem of measurement, press the Speed increase but-
ton.
The console features a display demo mode, designed
to be used if the treadmill is displayed in a store. While
the demo mode is turned on, the console will function
normally when you plug in the power cord, switch the
reset/off circuit breaker to the reset position, and insert
the key into the console. However, when you remove
the key, the displays will remain lit, although the but-
tons will not function. Press the Speed decrease but-
ton to select OFF (to turn off the demo mode), PRO-
GRAMS (to display previews of various workouts),
ROAD (to display an animation of a runner on a road),
or VISUAL EQ (to display a visual equalizer).
