4. Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the
I
ncline increase and decrease buttons or one of
the 1 Step 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 1 Step
Incline buttons, the incline will gradually change

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 speed of the walking belt.
• The incline level of the treadmill.
• 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 your body uses while at rest.
• Your walking or running pace, in minutes per
mile or minutes per kilometer.
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 set-
t
ing.
T
he lower right and lower left displays will show the
speed of the walking belt and incline of the tread-
mill.
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 but-
ton.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and
the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the
console will not display your heart rate accu-
rately. See page 12 for information on the chest
pulse sensor.
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
will flash in the display and your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-
ing, continue to hold the contacts for about 15
seconds.
