5. Follow your progress with the displays.
The matrix—When you
select the manual mode,
the matrix will display a
track that represents 1/4
mile (400 meters). As
you exercise, the indica-
tors around the track will appear in succession until
the entire track appears. The track will then disap-
pear and the indicators will again begin to appear
in succession.
The Calorie/Incline
display—The
Calorie/Incline display
can show the approxi-
mate number of calories
you have burned. The
display will also show the incline of the treadmill for
several seconds each time the incline changes.
The Time display—The
Time display will show
the elapsed time. Note:
When a workout is se-
lected, the display will
show the time remaining
in the workout instead of the elapsed time.
The Distance display—
The Distance display
can show the distance
that you have walked or
run.
The Speed/Pulse dis-
play—The Speed/Pulse
display can show the
speed of the walking
belt. The display will
also show your heart
rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or
the optional chest pulse sensor.
As you exercise, the workout intensity level bar will
indicate the approximate intensity level of your ex-
ercise.
To reset the console, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and
the optional chest pulse sensor at the same
time, the console will not display your heart
rate accurately. See page 26 for information
about the optional chest pulse sensor.
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. Hold the contacts for
approximately ten seconds. When your pulse is
detected, your heart rate will be shown. For the
most accurate heart rate reading, continue to
hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.
7. 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.
8. 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 treadmillʼs electrical compo-
nents may wear prematurely.
