4. Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the
Incline increase and decrease buttons or one of
the Quick Incline buttons. Each time you press the
Incline increase or decrease button, the incline set-
ting will change by 0.5 percent. If you press one of
the Quick Incline buttons, the incline will gradually
change until it reaches the selected incline setting.
5. Follow your progress with the displays.
When you select the
manual mode, a track
representing 1/4 mile
(400 m) will appear in
the matrix. As you walk
or run on the treadmill,
the indicators around the track will appear in suc-
cession until the entire track appears. The track will
then disappear and the indicators will again begin
to appear in succession.
The lower left display
can show the elapsed
time and the distance
that you have walked or
run during your workout.
Each time you change
the incline, the display will show the incline set-
ting for a few seconds. Note: When a workout is
selected, the display will show the time remaining
in the workout instead of the elapsed time.
The lower right display
can show the speed of
the walking belt and the
approximate number of
calories that you have
burned during your
workout. The display will also show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip heart rate monitor (see
step 6).
The upper display can
show the elapsed time,
the distance that you
have walked or run, the
approximate number
of calories you have
burned, or the speed of the walking belt. Press the
Priority Display button repeatedly until the upper
display shows the information that you are most
interested in viewing. Note: While information is
shown in the upper display, the same information
will not be shown in the lower left or lower right
display.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Before using the
handgrip heart
rate monitor, re-
move the sheets
of 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 place your hands on the metal contacts—
avoid moving your hands. 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. When you are fi nished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button,
and adjust the incline of the treadmill to zero.
The incline must be at zero when you fold the
treadmill to the storage position, or you may
damage the treadmill. Next, remove the key from
the console and put it in a secure place.
When you are fi nished using the treadmill, press
the power switch into the off position and unplug
the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do
this, the treadmill's electrical components may
wear prematurely.
