ProForm 900 Treadmill User Manual page 12

The right display—This display will show the dis-
tance that you have walked or run, the number of
1/4-mile laps you have completed, the speed of
the walking belt, and the approximate numbers of
calories and fat calories you have burned (see
FAT BURNING on page 29). Note: When a pro-
gram is selected, this display will show the time
remaining in the program instead of the elapsed
time.
The right display will also show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the
chest pulse sensor. In addition, during heart rate
programs the right display will show a heart rate
bar that shows your heart rate as a percentage of
your estimated maximum heart rate (see step 3 on
page 17 for an explanation of your estimated maxi-
mum heart rate). For example, if four to six seg-
ments of the bar appear, your heart rate is between
60% and 70% of your estimated maximum heart
rate.
Heart Rate Bar
Note: The console can display speed and dis-
tance in either miles or kilometers. The letters
"MPH" or "Km/H" will appear in the right display to
show which unit of measurement is selected. To
change the unit of measurement, see THE IN-
FORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE on page 24.
For simplicity, all instructions in this section
refer to miles.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
Measure your heart rate if desired.

To use the chest
pulse sensor,
see page 8. To
use the handgrip
pulse sensor,
first make sure
that your hands
are clean. Next,
stand on the
foot rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms
on the metal contacts. Avoid moving your
hands. When your pulse is detected, the heart-
shaped indicator in the right display will flash each
time your heart beats, one or two dashes (– –) will
appear, and then your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, con-
tinue to hold the contacts for about 15 sec-
onds.
Note: The pulse bar is intended to be used only
for heart rate measurement. Do not use the
pulse bar as a handlebar. Always hold the
handrails for support when you are not mea-
suring your heart rate.
Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan, press the button below the fan.
To turn on the fan at high speed, press the button
a second time. To turn off the fan, press the but-
ton a third time. Note: A few minutes after the
walking belt is stopped, the fan will automatically
turn off.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
8
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 the treadmill is folded to the storage posi-
tion or the treadmill will be damaged. Next, re-
move the key from the console and put it in a se-
cure place. Note: If the displays on the console
remain lit after the key is removed, the console
is in the "demo" mode. See page 24 and turn off
the demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill, press
the on/off switch to the "off" position and unplug
the power cord.
