HOW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAM

The fitness test program is designed to measure your
relative fitness level. For the best results, the fitness
test program should be used at a time when your en-
ergy level is high; the fitness test program should not
be used if you have already exercised during the day.
Note: You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use
the fitness test program. Follow the steps below to
use the fitness test program. 

Put on the chest pulse sensor.

To put on the chest pulse sensor, refer to the in-
structions on page 8. 

Insert the key fully into the console.

See GETTING STARTED on page 11. 

Select the fitness test program.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will
automatically be selected. To select the fitness
test program, first press the Select Workout Goal
button repeatedly until the words “HEART RATE”
appear in the main display.

Next, press the Select Course button repeatedly
until the words “FITNESS TEST” appear.

When the fitness test program is selected, the
program display will show the first twenty-seven
speed settings for the program.

Enter your age.

Three seconds after the fitness test program is se-
lected, the words “ENTER AGE” and the current
age setting will appear in the main display. You
must enter your age to use the fitness test program.

If you have already entered your age, go to step 5.
If you have not entered your age, press the Enter
Age buttons to enter your age. The buttons can be
held down to enter your age quickly. Once you
have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.

Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
start the program.

When the button is
pressed, the main dis-
play will show an “L 1”
(level 1), indicating that
the first four-minute level
of the fitness test pro-
gram has begun. The incline of the treadmill will
automatically adjust to 3% and the walking belt
will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.

The fitness test program is divided into seven,
four-minute levels. Each level consists of four,
one-minute segments. One speed setting and one
incline setting are
programmed for
each segment. The
speed setting for
the first segment
will be shown in the
flashing Current
Segment column of
the program display. (The incline settings are not
shown in the program display.) The speed settings
for the next thirteen segments will be shown in the
thirteen columns to the right. 

When only three seconds remain in the first one-
minute segment of the program, both the Current
Segment column and the column to the right will
flash, a tone will sound, and all speed settings will
move one column to the left. The speed setting for
the second segment will then be shown in the
flashing Current Segment column. 

When the first four-minute level of the program is
completed, both the Current Segment column and
the column to the right will flash, a series of tones
will sound, the speed setting and/or the incline
setting will flash in the main display, and all speed
settings will move one column to the left. The
main display will then show an “L 2,” indicating
that the second four-minute level has begun. The
incline will then adjust to 4% and the speed will in-
crease to 2.5 mph.
