Follow your progress with the track and the

displays.

The track—The track

represents a distance of

1/4 mile. As you walk or

run on the treadmill, the

indicators around the

track will light in succes-

sion until the entire track is lit. The track will then

darken and the indicators will again begin to light

in succession. The center of the track will show

the number of laps that you have completed.

The Fat Calories/

Calories/Pulse

display—This display

shows the approximate

numbers of 

fat calories

and 

calories you have

burned (see FAT BURNING on page 17). The dis-

play will change from one number to the other

every few seconds. The display will also show

your heart rate when you use the pulse sensor

(see step 5).

The Time/Distance

display—This display

shows the elapsed time

and the distance that

you have walked or run.

The display will change

from one number to the other every few seconds.

When the Stop button is pressed, the elapsed time

will flash. 

The Speed display—

This display shows the

speed of the walking

belt.  

Note: The console can

display speed and dis-

tance in either miles or

kilometers. An “MPH” or

a “Km/H” will appear in

the Speed display to

show which unit of measurement is selected. To

change the unit of measurement, first hold down

the Stop button, insert the key into the console,

and continue to hold the Stop button for a moment.

An “E” for English miles or an “M” for metric kilo-

meters will appear in the Speed display. Press the

Speed increase button to change the unit of mea-

surement. When the desired unit of measurement

is selected, remove the key and then reinsert it. 

To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-

move the key, and then reinsert the key.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

To measure your heart

rate, stand on the foot

rails and place your

thumb on the pulse sen-

sor. Do not press too

hard, or the circulation

in your thumb will be re-

stricted and your pulse will not be detected.

After a few seconds, the heart-shaped indicator in

the Fat Calories/Calories/Pulse display will begin

to flash, one or two dashes (– –) will appear, and

then your heart rate will be shown. Hold your

thumb on the pulse sensor for about 15 seconds

for the most accurate reading. 

If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high

or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift

your thumb off the pulse sensor for a few seconds.

Then, place your thumb on the pulse sensor as de-

scribed above. Remember to stand still while mea-

suring your heart rate.

Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan, press

the Fan button. To turn

on the fan at high speed,

press the button a second

time. To turn off the fan,

press the button a third

time. Note: If the fan is left on when the walking

belt is stopped, the fan will automatically turn off

after a few minutes.

When you are finished exercising, remove the

key.

Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and

adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest

level. The incline must be at the lowest level

when the treadmill is raised to the storage po-

sition or the treadmill will be damaged. Next,

remove the key from the console and put the key

in a secure place.  

When you are finished using the treadmill,

move the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off”

position and unplug the power cord.
