Inserting the key will
not turn on the dis-
plays. The displays will
turn on when the
ON/RESET button is
pressed or when the
walking belt is started.
Note: If you just installed batteries, the displays
will already be on.
Reset the speed control and start the walking
2
belt.
Slide the speed control fully to the left to the reset
position. Note: Each time the walking belt is
stopped, the speed control must be moved to
the reset position before the walking belt can
be restarted.
Next, slowly slide the speed control to the right
until the walking belt begins to move at slow
speed. Carefully step onto the walking belt and
begin exercising. Change the speed of the walking
belt as desired by sliding the speed control.
To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails
and slide the speed control to the reset position.
During the first few minutes that the treadmill is
used, observe the alignment of the walking belt,
and align it if necessary (see page 13).
Adjust the incline of the treadmill as desired.

To change the in-
cline of the treadmill,
press the increase
or decrease button
until the desired in-
cline level is
reached.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.

TIME/DISTANCE
display—This display
shows the elapsed time
and the distance that
you have walked or run,
in kilometers or miles.
Every few seconds, the
display will change from one number to the other,
as shown by the indicator in the display.
CALS/FAT CALS/
SPEED display—This
display shows the ap-
proximate numbers of
calories and fat calories
you have burned. (See
FAT BURNING on page
14.) In addition, the display shows the speed of
the walking belt, in kilometers per hour or miles
per hour. Every few seconds, the display will
change from one number to the next, as shown by
the indicator in the display.
To reset the displays at
any time, press the
ON/RESET button.
Note: The displays can
show distance and
speed in either kilome-
ters or miles. To change from one measure-
ment to the other, press and hold the
ON/RESET button for five seconds.
Measure your heart rate, if desired.
5
To measure your heart
rate, stand on the foot
rails and place your
thumb on the pulse
sensor as shown. The
pulse sensor is pres-
sure activated—fully
press it down. Do not
press too hard, or the
circulation in your
thumb will be re-
stricted, and your
pulse will not be detected. Next, raise your
thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in
the CALS/FAT CALS/SPEED display flashes
steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few
seconds, three dashes will appear in the display
and then your heart rate will be shown. Hold your
thumb on the sensor for another 15 seconds for
the most accurate reading.
