Programming The Console

Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your
needs. Some of the information is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for
your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate programs to ensure the
correct predicted target heart rate zone. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct
Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count, we do want to be as close as
possible.

monitor your progress from workout to workout.
Entering A Program And Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then just
press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of
your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
Message Center. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default or saved settings
will be used.

Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the
last Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and
Weight the first time you use the treadmill, you will not have to enter it every time you work out
unless either your Age or Weight changes, or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
Each preset program has a maximum Speed and Incline level that is displayed when a desired
workout is chosen. The maximum Speed and Incline that the particular program will achieve will be
displayed in the Message Center.
To Select and Start A Preset Program
1. Press the desired program (Hill, Fat Burn, Cardio, Strength, or Interval) key. Press Enter to
select the program. The display will prompt you through the programming or you can just press
Start to begin the program with default values.
2. If Enter was pressed, the Message Center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Age (default
is 35). Entering your correct age affects the heart rate Bar Graph Display and the Heart Rate
programs. Use the + / - keys to adjust, then press Enter. Your age determines your recommended
maximum heart rate. Since the Bar Graph Display and the Heart Rate features are based on a
percentage of your maximum heart rate, it is important to enter the correct age for these features
to work properly.
3. The Message Center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Body Weight (default is 68 kgs).
Entering the correct body weight will affect the calorie count. Use the + / - keys to adjust, then
press Enter.
A note about the Calorie display: No exercise machine can give you an exact calorie count because
there are too many factors which determine exact calorie burn for a particular person. Even if someone
is the exact same body weight, age and height, their calorie burn may be very different than yours. The
Calorie display is to be used as a reference only to monitor improvement from workout to workout.
4. The Message Center will be blinking a value, indicating Time (the default value is 20 minutes).You
