4. Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the
Incline increase and decrease buttons or one of
the Quick Touch Incline buttons numbered 0 to 15.
Each time you press the Incline increase or de-
crease button, the incline will change by 0.5 per-
cent. If you press one of the numbered Quick
Touch Incline buttons, the incline will gradually
change until it reaches the selected incline setting.
5. Select a display mode and monitor your
progress with the display.
When the manual
mode is selected,
the console offers
six display modes.
The display mode
that you select will
determine which workout information is shown.
Press the Display button repeatedly to select the
desired display mode.
As you walk or run on the treadmill, the upper dis-
play can show the following workout information:
• The elapsed time.
• The distance that you have walked or run.
• The approximate number of calories you have
burned.
• The approximate number of calories burned per
hour.
• Your exercise intensity in METs. One MET is the
amount of energy you use while resting.
• Your walking or running pace, in minutes per
mile or minutes per kilometer.
• The speed of the walking belt.
• The incline level of the treadmill.
Regardless of which display mode you select, the
speed or incline setting will appear in the display for
a few seconds each time you change the setting.
The lower left and lower right displays will show
the incline of the treadmill and the speed of the
walking belt.
As you switch between workouts and the manual
mode, the console will keep track of the total dis-
tance that you have walked or run and the approxi-
mate number of calories you have burned. You can
keep your totals even when you switch to a new
workout. To reset the console, press the Clear
button.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and
a chest pulse sensor at the same time, the con-
sole will not display your heart rate accurately.
Before using
the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the
sheets of plas-
tic from the
metal contacts.
In addition,
make sure that
your hands are
clean.
To measure your heart rate,
stand on the foot
rails and hold the contacts for approximately
ten seconds—avoid moving your hands.
When
your pulse is detected, a heart-shaped indicator or
the word PULSE will appear in the display and
your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accu-
rate heart rate reading, continue to hold the
contacts for about 15 seconds.
