QUICKSTART
CAUTION: Before using the treadmill, read all these
instructions. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
• Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its
operation, on or near this equipment.
• Before beginning any fitness program, see
your physician for a thorough physical
examination. Seek advice from your physician
to learn the target heart rate appropriate for
your fitness level.
• At the beginning of a workout, straddle
the belt by placing your feet firmly on
the right and left staging platforms.
• Always face the display and use
the handrail for balance. Never
attempt to turn around on the
treadmill while the running belt
is moving.
• If you feel pain, faintness, or
dizziness, stop exercising
immediately.
Using the Safety Clip
Always attach the safety clip
to your clothing before each
workout. A tug on the lanyard
activates the safety switch inside
the display and stops the
running belt.
If the safety switch is activated
while you are exercising, the
treadmill does not retain your
workout statistics. To resume
your workout, reattach the
magnetic safety key to the
console, attach the safety clip
to your clothing, and select a
program while the banner scrolls
across the display.

Workout Tips
• Before and after a workout, gently stretch your
lower body and back to help prevent stiffness or
soreness.
• To display your heart rate, use both hands to grasp
the touch-sensitive handrail grips.
• At the beginning of a workout, take several minutes
to bring your heart rate into your target zone
(shown in Diagram A on the other side of this
card).
• Incorporate a cool-down period into your workout
to help lower your heart rate and minimize muscle
stiffness and soreness.
Beginning Your Workout with QUICKSTART
To begin exercising immediately without personalizing your exercise
session, take the following steps.
1. Turn On the treadmill, using the power switch located beneath the
front of the unit, near the power cord.
2. Step on the treadmill. Face the display and straddle the running
belt.
3. Attach the safety clip to your clothing. Make sure the magnetic
safety key is in position on the display console.
4. Hold the handrail with one hand and press QUICKSTART with the
other.
Audible beeps occur, a 3-second countdown appears, and then the
running belt starts moving. The Manual Program begins.
5. Step on to the running belt with the speed at 1 mph (1 kph), and
begin exercising.
• To increase or decrease the incline or speed, use the INCLINE or
SPEED arrow keys.
• To pause, hold onto a handrail with one hand while you press the
red STOP button with the other. Follow the display prompts.
Note: When you reach your time or distance goal, you automatically
enter a cool-down period.
6. Complete the cool-down period and a workout summary presents
your exercise session statistics. The display presents your average
heart rate, and cumulative calories, distance, and workout time.
7. Remove the safety clip from your clothing and hold on to a handrail
as you step off the treadmill.
8. To prevent unauthorized use, turn the treadmill Off.
Note: To personalize your exercise experience, refer to Workout
