Start the walking belt.
After you have moved the speed control to the
RESET position, slowly slide it to the right until the
walking belt begins to move at slow speed.
Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin ex-
ercising. Change the speed of the walking belt as
desired by sliding the speed control. To stop the
walking belt, step onto the foot rails and slide the
speed control to the RESET position.
Follow your progress with the monitor display.
The monitor display offers
six modes that provide in-
stant exercise feedback:
Speed—This mode shows your speed, in kilome-
tres or miles per hour.
Time—This mode shows the length of time you
have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for
ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.
Distance—This mode shows the total number of
kilometres or miles.
Fat Calories —This mode shows the approximate
number of fat calories you have burned. (See Fat
Burning on page 14.)
Calories—This mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Scan—This mode displays the other five modes,
for five seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
If desired, the display can be reset by pressing the
On/Reset button.
Measure your pulse, if desired.
When you are not
using the pulse
sensor, a “P” will
appear in the
pulse display. To
measure your
pulse, stand on the
foot rails and place
your thumb on the
pulse sensor as
shown. The pulse sensor is pressure activated—
fully press it down. Do not press too hard, or the
circulation in your thumb will be restricted, and
your pulse will not be detected. Next, raise your
thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in
the pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your
thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three
dashes will appear in the display and your pulse
will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for
another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading.
If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or too
low, or if your pulse is not displayed, lift your thumb
off the sensor and allow the display to reset. Press
down again on the sensor as described above.
Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown,
and that you are applying the proper amount of
pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the sensor sev-
eral times until you become familiar with it.
Remember to stand still while measuring your
pulse.
When you are finished exercising, stop the
walking belt and remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails, stop the walking belt, and
remove the key from the console. The displays will
turn off about five minutes after the key is removed.
Note: Any time that the walking belt is stopped
and the console buttons are not pressed for
five minutes, the displays will automatically
turn off in order to conserve the batteries.
HOW TO SELECT KILOMETRES AND MILES
The console can display distance and speed in either
kilometres or miles. To change the unit of measure-
ment, first UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Next, re-
move the six screws attaching the console to the con-
sole base. Lift the console a few inches, being careful
not to pull on the wires, and turn the console over.
Locate the small switch on the back of the console.
Move the switch upward or downward to select kilome-
tres or miles. Re-attach the console to the console
base. After changing the unit of measurement, re-
move one of the batteries from the console for
about five seconds and then reinsert it. This will
reset the console.
