5. Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the
Incline increase or decrease button or one of the
Quick % Grade buttons. Each time you press the
Incline increase or decrease button, the incline will
change by 0.5%. If you press one of the Quick %
Grade buttons, the incline will gradually adjust to
the selected incline setting.
6. Follow your progress with the display.
The display features five modes:
• Speed—This mode displays the speed of the
walking belt.
• Time—This mode displays the elapsed time.
Note: When a workout is selected, the display
will show the time remaining in the workout in-
stead of the elapsed time.
• Distance—This mode displays the distance you
have walked or run.
• Calories—This mode displays the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
• Scan—This mode displays the speed, time, dis-
tance, and calories modes, for a few seconds
each, in a repeating cycle.
Each time the key is inserted into the console, the
Scan mode will be selected. The SCAN mode indi-
cator will appear in the display, and a second
mode indicator will show which mode is currently
displayed. Note: If you have selected a different
mode, press the Display button repeatedly to rese-
lect the Scan mode.
To select the Speed, Time, Distance, or Calories
mode for continuous display, press the Display but-
ton repeatedly. The mode indicators will show
which mode is selected. Make sure that the SCAN
mode indicator does not appear.
Each time the incline changes, the display will
show the incline setting for several seconds. The
display will also show your heart rate when you
use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 7).
To reset the display, press the Stop button, remove
the key, and then reinsert the key.
7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Before using the
handgrip pulse
sensor, remove
the sheets of clear
plastic from the
metal contacts on
the pulse bar. In
addition, make
sure that your
hands are clean.
To measure your heart rate, 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, a heart symbol in the dis-
play will flash each time your heart beats and then
your heart rate will be shown. For the most accu-
rate heart rate reading, continue to hold the
contacts for about 15 seconds.
8. When you are finished exercising, remove the
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 set-
ting or you may damage the treadmill when you
fold it to the storage position. Next, remove the
key from the console and put it in a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch
the reset/off circuit breaker to the "off" position and
unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do
not do this, the treadmillʼs electrical compo-
nents may wear prematurely.
