properly plugged in (see page 7).
Next, step onto the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the
clip attached to the key (see the drawing above), and
slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothes. Fully
insert the key into the console. Test the clip by care-
fully taking a few steps backward until the key is
pulled from the console. If the key is not pulled

The monitor display offers
Pulse
Sensor six modes that provide in-
stant exercise feedback.
Press the display button to
select the desired mode.
The modes are described
below:
Speed—This mode shows your speed, in kilome-
tres or miles per hour.
Time—This mode shows the length of time you
have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for
ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.
Distance—This mode shows the total number of
kilometres or miles you have walked or run.
Fat Calories —This mode shows the approximate
number of fat calories you have burned. (See Fat
Burning on page 14.)
Calories—This mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Scan—This mode displays the other five modes,
for five seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
If desired, press the ON/RESET button to reset
the display at any time.
Measure your heart rate, if desired.

When you are not
using the pulse
sensor, a "P" will
appear in the
pulse display. To
measure your
heart rate, stand
on the foot rails
and place your
thumb on the
pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pres-
sure activated—fully press it down. Do not press
too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will
be restricted, and your pulse will not be de-
tected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the
heart-shaped indicator in the 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. Press down again on the pulse sen-
Arrow
sor as described above. Try the pulse sensor sev-
eral times until you become familiar with it.
Remember to stand still whilst measuring your
heart rate.
When you are finished exercising, stop the
5
walking belt and remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails, stop the walking belt, and
remove the key from the console. The displays will
turn off a few minutes after the key is removed.
Note: Any time that the walking belt is stopped
and the console buttons are not pressed for a
few minutes, the displays will automatically
turn off in order to conserve the batteries.
HOW TO SELECT KILOMETRES AND MILES
The console can display speed and distance in either
kilometres or miles. To change the unit of measure-
ment, first UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Next, re-
move the six screws attaching the console to the con-
sole base. Lift the console a few inches, being careful
not to pull on the wires, and turn the console over.
Locate the small switch on the back of the console.
Move the switch upward or downward to select kilome-
tres or miles. Re-attach the console to the console
base. After changing the unit of measurement, re-
move one of the batteries from the console for
about five seconds and then reinsert it. This will
reset the console.
