5. Follow your progress with the display.
The console offers several display options. The dis-
play option you select will determine which workout
information is shown. Press the Display button re-
peatedly to select the desired display option.
As you walk or run on the treadmill, the display can
show the following workout information:
• The elapsed time.
• The distance you have walked or run.
• The approximate number of calories you have
burned.
• The approximate number of calories burned per
hour.
• Your exercise intensity in mets. One met is the
amount of energy you use while sitting.
• The speed of the walking belt.
• The incline level of the treadmill.
• Your pace in minutes per kilometer or minutes per
mile.
• Your heart rate.
Note: Regardless of which display mode you select,
the speed or incline setting will appear in the dis-
play for a few seconds each time you change the
setting. In addition, your heart rate will appear in the
display each time you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor or the chest pulse sensor (see step 6).
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either the
handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor
(see page 12 for information about the chest pulse
sensor). Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor
and wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time,
the console will not display your heart rate accu-
rately.
Before using the handgrip pulse sensor, remove
the sheets of clear 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
hold the metal
contacts on the
handrail—
avoid moving
your hands.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-
ing, continue to hold the contacts for about 15
seconds.
7. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest
setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting
when you fold the treadmill to the storage posi-
tion or you may damage the treadmill. Next, re-
move the key from the console and put it in a secure
place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch
the reset/off circuit breaker to the "off" position and
unplug the power cord. Important: If you do not
do this, the electrical components of the tread-
mill may wear prematurely.
