HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
All four of the preset programs automatically control
the speed and incline of the treadmill to guide you
through an effective workout. During an incline based
program, the incline of the treadmill will adjust fre-
quently; during a speed based program, the speed of
the walking belt will change frequently.
Insert the key into the console.

To select a
preset pro-
gram, press
the Incline
Based
Programs
button or the
Speed Based
Programs
button once or twice; "P 1," "P 2," "P 3," or "P 4"
will appear in the display for a few seconds. When
a preset program is selected, the maximum speed
setting and the maximum incline setting of the
program will flash in the displays for a few sec-
onds and a profile of the speed settings of the pro-
gram will scroll across the matrix. The display will
also show how long the program will last.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
4
button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into 30 or 50 one-minute
periods. One speed setting and one incline setting
are programmed for each period. Note: The same
speed setting and/or incline setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive periods.
The speed
setting for
the first pe-
riod will be
shown in the
flashing
Current
Period column of the matrix in the display. (The in-
cline settings are not shown in the matrix.) The
speed settings for the next four periods will be
shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period
of the program, both the Current Period column
and the column to the right will flash and a series
of tones will sound. If the speed and/or incline of
the treadmill is about to change, the speed setting
and/or the incline setting will flash in the display to
alert you.
When the first period is completed, all speed set-
tings will move one column to the left . The speed
setting for the second period will then be shown in
the flashing Current Period column and the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the speed and in-
cline settings for the second period. Note: If all five
of the indicators in the Current Period column are
lit, the speed settings may move downward so that
only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last period is shown in the
Current Period column and the last period ends.
The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting for the current period
is too high or too low, you can manually override
the setting by pressing the Speed or Incline but-
tons. Every few times a Speed button is pressed,
an additional indicator will appear or disappear in
the Current Period column; if any of the columns
to the right of the Current Period column have the
same number of lit indicators as the Current
Period column, an additional indicator may appear
or disappear in those columns as well. Important:
When the current period of the program ends,
the treadmill will automatically adjust to the
speed and incline settings for the next period.
