MANUAL SPEED MODE
After the power is turned on, the console will be in the manual mode and the treadmill belt will be
stationary. The speed of the belt can be controlled using the plus (+) and minus (-) keys in the
SPEED ADJUST display. Press the plus key untilthe belt begins to move at slow speed.
Each time the key is pressed, a tone will sound and the speed will increase. An additional bar in the
display will light every fourth time the key is pressed. (The key can be held down to adjust the speed
quickly.) The minus key functions in the same manner to decrease the speed. CAUTION: After a key
is pressed, it will take a few seconds for the belt to adjust to the new speed setting. Adjust the
speed gradually until you are familiar with the operation of the treadmill.
Step onto the treadmill belt and begin walking. Increase or decrease the speed as desired by pressing
the plus or minus keys.
When you are finished exercising, press the minus key until the belt stops. The belt can also
be stopped by pressing the STOP key. Note: The belt will take a few seconds to stop.
PROGRAMMABLE SPEED MODE
In the programmable mode, individualized workout programs can be created and stored in the
computer's memory for future sessions. Up to four different programs can be stored simultaneously.
Simply set a maximum speed for the program, select ten speed settings, and set the length of time you
want to exercise at each speed setting. With the touch of a key, the computer will then control the
speed of the treadmill automatically as you exercise.
Press one of the four USER keys to switch the console to the programmable mode_ The indicator on
the MANUAL key will extinguish, and the indicator on the USER key will light.
Set the maximum speed you want the treadmill belt to move by pressing the plus (+) or minus (-) keys in
the MAX SPEED SET display. The maximum speed must be at least 4.0 miles per hour. Each time a
key is pressed, the speed displayed will change by 0.5 miles per hour. (The speed cannot be set
quickly by holding a key down.)
A program should now be created in the PROGRAM SEGMENTS display. The display is divided into
ten segments, each with a plus (+) and minus (-) key and eight bars. The first bar in each segment
represents the minimum speed, and the eighth bar represents the maximum speed set. (If a program
has not previously been created, four bars will be lighted in each segment. Four bars represents a
speed about halfway between the minimum speed and the maximum speed set.) Press the plus or
minus keys in each segment to set the speed desired for that segment. A tone will sound each time a
key is pressed. A bar will light every fourth time a plus key is pressed, or extinguish every fourth time a
minus key is pressed. You may wish to set the first segments at low speeds for warming up, the next
segments at a combination of higher speeds, and the final segment at low speed for cooling down.
The segments can be set in an endless variety of patterns.
Set the length of time you want to exercise at each speed setting by pressing the plus (+) or minus (-)
keys in the SEGMENT TIMER display. The segments can be set for a minimum of 30 seconds, up to a
maximum of 9 minutes, 50 seconds. Each time a key is pressed, the time displayed will increase or
decrease by 10 seconds. (The keys can be held down to set the time quickly.)
After setting a maximum speed, ten program segment speeds, and the length of time each segment
will last, the program can be started by pressing the PROGRAM START key.
