4. Follow your progress with the displays.
The track—The track
represents a distance
of 1/4 mile (400 m). As
you walk or run on the
treadmill, the indicators
around the track will
appear in succession until the entire track appears.
The track will then disappear and the indicators will
again begin to appear in succession.
The left display—As
you exercise, the left
display can show the
elapsed time and the
approximate number of
calories that you have
burned. The display also shows your heart rate
when you use the heart rate monitor (see step 5 on
this page). Note: When you use a preset workout,
the left display will show the time remaining in the
workout instead of the elapsed time.
The right display—The
right display can show
the speed of the walking
belt and the distance
that you have walked or
run.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and place your thumb on the heart rate moni-
tor (see the drawing on page 10). Do not press
too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will
be restricted and your heart rate may not be
detected. When your heart rate is detected, the
small heart symbol in the left display will flash and
your heart rate will be shown. For the most accu-
rate heart rate reading, hold your thumb on the
heart rate monitor for at least 15 seconds.
If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high
or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift
your thumb for a few seconds, and then reposition
your thumb on the heart rate monitor. Remember to
stand still while measuring your heart rate.
6. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button,
remove the key from the console, and put it in a
secure place. When you are finished using the
treadmill, press the power switch into the off posi-
tion and unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If
you do not do this, the treadmill's electrical
components may wear prematurely.
