Calibration Procedure 
The TreadClimber® Models TC5300 and TC6000 must be calibrated before use. You will need to re-calibrate your 
machine in the event of a power outage or if you have replaced any electronic component on the machine. 
DO NOT STEP ON THE BELTS DURING THIS ENTIRE PROCESS.
TO CALIBRATE: 
1. Plug the machine into an outlet and turn on the power (see Page 24: Turning on the Power). 
2. Stand on the side foot support platforms or rubber floor mat, DO NOT STAND ON THE BELTS. 
3. Insert the Safety Key into the magnetic holder on the console display. 
4. The console display will show “CAL ... PRSS ... STRT”, press the START key. This will start the calibration 
procedure. 
   If the power has been turned on before and the display does not show “CAL ... PRSS ... STRT”, press the POWER 
key on the console to turn the console power off (display should be blank). Then press the ENTER and DOWN 
SPEED keys simultaneously until “CAL ... PRSS ... STRT” is displayed. 
NOTE: During the calibration procedure, the belts will start and stop and the displays will show various 
numbers that relate to calibration - DO NOT INTERRUPT CALIBRATION. 
5. At the end of the Calibration Procedure the display will show “CAL ... PASS”. Press the POWER key on the 
console to exit the Calibration Mode. 
NOTE: If your console display does not finish the calibration procedure by displaying “CAL ... PASS” contact a 
Bowflex® TreadClimber® representative listed in the Important Contact Numbers section of this manual. 
When the Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine has completed calibration, you may begin your workout.
