Handrail Adjustments
The XT485 treadmill allows you to make speed and incline
changes on the side handrails. You can also choose to turn these off if
you frequently hold on to these rails. This is achieved by pressing the
disable button on the right side of the lower portion of the console.
Quick Speed & Incline Buttons
You are able to set your speed and incline settings quickly by using the quick keys on the con-
sole. Just press either Speed or Incline, then select either 1 or 2 digits and the treadmill will auto-
matically adjust to that value. This saves time because you don't have to press and hold or hold
a button down until reaching the desired value. The maximum value you may input for speed is
9.9 mph or kmph and incline 9.5%
Examples: Press the Quick Incline button, then 1, 0 = Incline Level 1.0
Press the Quick Incline button, then 3, 5 = Incline Level 3.5
Press the Quick Speed button, then 8, 0 = 8.0 mph or kmph
Press the Quick Speed button, then 0, 8 = 0.8 mph or kmph

MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE
There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas that
are activated when using the treadmill. These will light up during any of the programs. You can
control which muscles are activated by changing the incline and swinging your arms. The pre-set
programs will determine which lower body muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting
the incline. Generally the
following guidelines hold true:
• The upper body LED's will light any time your hands aren't in contact with the pulse
grip sensors
• The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents minimal
muscle involvement, Amber represents medium involvement, and Red represents full or heavy
activation.
ƒ 0-4.5% Elevation: even muscle distribution, all four
muscle groups will be Amber
ƒ 5-15% Elevation: Quads are Amber and Glutes, Hamstrings,
and Calves are Red

MESSAGE CENTER
The console will display Pace, Calories burned, Time (elapsed or
countdown), Distance travelled, Pulse, Speed, Incline, Program Name,
number of Laps completed, and Segment Time. There is also a Speed &
Incline profile graph that lets you see how hard you have worked and
how challenging the upcoming segments will be.
HEART RATE % PROFILE
The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a
pulse is detected. The Bar Graph, located to the right of the LCD screen,
will show your current heart rate % in relation to your projected maximum
heart rate, which is determined by your age that you entered during the
programming phase of any of the 10 programs. The significance of the bar
graph colors are as follows:
• 50-60% of maximum is Amber
• 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green
• 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red
