Reset the speed control and start the walking
2
belt.
Slide the speed control to the RESET position.
(Note: Each time the walking belt is stopped,
the speed control must be moved to the RESET
position before the walking belt can be
restarted.) Next, slowly slide the speed control to
the right until the walking belt begins to move at
slow speed. Carefully step onto the walking belt
and begin walking. As you exercise, change the
speed of the walking belt as desired with the speed
control.
To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails
and slide the speed control to the RESET position.
Note: During the first few minutes that you use the
treadmill, inspect the alignment of the walking belt,
and align it if necessary (see page 13).
Adjust the incline of the treadmill as desired.
3
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the top
or bottom of the incline control until the desired in-
cline level is reached.
Follow your progress with the LED track and
4
the three displays.
The LED Track—The
LED track represents a
distance of 1/4 mile. As
you exercise, the indi-
cators around the track
will light in sequence
until you have com-
pleted 1/4 mile. A new lap will then begin.
TIME/DISTANCE dis-
play—This display
shows the elapsed time
and the distance that
you have walked or run,
in miles. Every few sec-
onds, the display will change from one number to
the other, as shown by the arrows in the display.
CALS/FAT CALS/
PULSE display—This
display shows the ap-
proximate numbers of
calories and fat calories
you have burned. (See
FAT BURNING on page
14.) Every few seconds, the display will change
from one number to the other.
SPEED display—This
display shows the
speed of the walking
belt, in miles per hour.
To reset the displays at any time, press the
ON/RESET button.
Measure your heart rate, if desired.
5
To measure your
heart rate, stand on
the foot rails and
place your thumb on
the pulse sensor as
shown. The pulse
sensor is pressure ac-
tivated—fully press it
down. Do not press
too hard, or the cir-
culation in your
thumb will be re-
stricted, and your
pulse will not be detected. Next, raise your thumb
slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the
CALS/FAT CALS/PULSE display flashes steadily.
Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds,
three dashes will appear in the display and then
your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on
the pulse sensor for another 15 seconds for the
most accurate reading.
If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or
too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift
your thumb off the pulse sensor and allow the dis-
play to reset. Then, press down on the pulse sensor
as described above. Make sure that your thumb is
positioned as shown, and that you are applying the
proper amount of pressure. Remember to stand still
while measuring your heart rate.
When you are finished exercising, stop the
6
walking belt and remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails, slide the speed control to
the RESET position, and adjust the incline of the
treadmill to the lowest level. The incline must be
at the lowest level when the treadmill is raised
to the storage position. Remove the key from the
console. The displays will turn off about five min-
utes after the key is removed. Note: To conserve
the batteries, the displays will automatically
turn off any time that the walking belt is
stopped and the ON/RESET button is not
pressed for five minutes.
