HOW TO USE A CUSTOM PROGRAM
1. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
12.
2. Select one of the custom programs.
To select a custom pro-
gram, press the Program
Select button repeatedly
until "P11" or "P12" ap-
pears in the
Calories/Pulse display.
As each custom program is selected, the maximum
speed setting of the program and the maximum in-
cline setting of the program will flash in the dis-
plays for a few seconds. The Time/Distance dis-
play will show how long the program will last. A
profile of the speed settings of the program will
scroll across the matrix. Note: If only three
columns of indicators scroll across the matrix,
see HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM PROGRAM
on page 16.
3. Press the Start button or the 1 Step Speed in-
crease button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill
will automatically adjust to the first speed and in-
cline settings that you programmed previously.
Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each custom program is divided into several one-
minute segments. One speed setting and one in-
cline setting are programmed for each segment.
The speed set-
ting for the first
segment will be
shown in the
flashing current
segment column
of the matrix.
(The incline settings are not shown in the matrix.)
The speed settings for the following segments will
be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the current segment col-
umn and the column to the right will flash and a se-
ries of tones will sound. If the speed and/or the in-
cline of the treadmill is about to change, the speed
setting and/or the incline setting will flash in the
displays to alert you.

Current Segment
When the first segment is completed, all speed set-
tings will move one column to the left. The speed
setting for the second segment will then be shown
in the flashing current segment column and the
treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and
incline settings for the second segment.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment is shown in the
current segment column and the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If desired, you can redefine the program while
using it. To change the speed or incline setting
for the current segment, simply press the 1 Step
Speed or 1 Step Incline buttons. When the current
segment ends, the new setting will be saved in
memory. To increase the length of the program,
first wait until the program is completed. Then,
press the Start button and program speed and in-
cline settings for as many additional segments as
desired. When you have added as many segments
as desired, press the Stop button twice. To de-
crease the length of the program, press the Stop
button twice at any time before the program is
completed.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. The time will begin to flash in the
Time/Resistance display. To restart the program,
press the Start button or the 1 Step Speed in-
crease button. The walking belt will begin to move
at 1 mph. When the next segment of the program
begins, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the
speed and incline settings for the next segment.
