HOW TO USE A CUSTOM PROGRAM
1. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
11.
2. Select one of the custom programs.
To select a custom pro-
gram, press the
Program button repeat-
edly until one of the two
Custom Program indi-
cators lights.
When a custom program is selected, the Incline
display will show the maximum incline setting of
the program and the Speed display will show the
maximum speed setting. The Time display will
show how long the program will last.
The matrix will show
the first eighteen speed
settings of the program.
Note: If only three
columns of indicators
appear in the matrix,
see HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM PROGRAM
on page 16.
3. Adjust the program settings if desired.
See step 3 on page 14.
4. Press the Start button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill
will automatically adjust to the first speed and in-
cline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each custom program
is divided into several
one-minute segments.
One speed setting and
one incline setting are
programmed for each
segment. (The same
speed setting and/or in-
cline setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.) The speed setting for the
first segment is shown in the flashing current seg-
ment column of the matrix. (The incline settings are
not shown in the matrix.) The speed settings for
the next several segments are shown in the
columns to the right.
Current Segment
17
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the current segment col-
umn and the column to the right will flash, a series
of tones will sound, and the Speed display and the
Incline display will flash. When the first segment
ends, all speed settings will move one column to
the left . The speed setting for the second segment
will then be shown in the flashing current segment
column and the treadmill will automatically adjust to
the second speed and incline settings that you pro-
grammed.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment is shown in the
current segment column and the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If desired, you can redefine the program while
using it. To change the speed or incline setting
for the current segment, simply press the Speed
or Incline increase and decrease buttons. When the
current segment ends, the new setting will be saved
in memory. To increase the length of the program,
first wait until the program is completed. Then, press
the Start button and program speed and incline set-
tings for as many additional segments as desired.
When you have added as many segments as de-
sired, press either of the Stop buttons twice. To de-
crease the length of the program, press either of
the Stop buttons twice at any time before the program
is completed.
To stop the program temporarily, press either of
the Stop buttons. The Time display will begin to
flash. To restart the program, press the Start button
or the Speed increase button. After a moment, the
walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph. When the
next segment of the program begins, the treadmill
will automatically adjust to the speed and incline
settings for the next segment.
5. Follow your progress with the matrix and the
displays.
See step 6 on page 12.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 7 on page 13.
7. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
