1.1 Getting to know the T280P – T280C – T320

Computer display Monitor

The computer display monitor consists of a main viewing screen, a central informational window and two additional informational windows.

Each exercise program starts from the left part of the screen and terminates when it reaches the right part of the screen. A ﬂashing dot will indicate your progression in the program.

As the speed and elevation increase, the corresponding proﬁle will move towards the top of the viewing screen. At the top of the screen, a scrolling message center displays all your exercise parameters from the start of the program.

The two informational windows will display SPEED, DISTANCE, CALORIES, ELAPSED TIME, PACE and ELEVATION.

Horizontal rectangles (dot) represent speed and elevation values.

Each tick represents either 1 mph (1.6 km/h) or 1.5% elevation change.

The minimum values start from 0,5 mph (0,8 km/h) and 0% elevation at the bottom,

and the maximum values end at 11 mph (17.60 km/h) and 15% elevation to the top of the scale.

SPEED indicates the treadmill belt speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour, ranging from 0.50 to 11.00 mph or

0.80 to 17.60 km/h.

CALORIES will indicate total of your caloric expenditure from the start of the exercise.

DISTANCE displays the total distance in miles or kilometers from the start of the exercise, ranging from 0.00 to

99.00 miles or 0.00 to 99.00 km.

ELAPSED TIME indicates the amount of time accumulated from the start of any program. The time will range from 0 to a maximum of 99 minutes.

PACE indicates how long it will take to complete one mile or one kilometer at that current speed. Pace per mile or kilometer is shown in minutes and seconds.

ELEVATION will display the slope of the running belt in terms of percentage. As an example, one percent (1%) slope is equal to one foot (or one meter) climbed for each 100 feet (or 100 meters) covered.

NOTE – The parameter like calories displays an evaluation of the real values of your exercise parameters. The evaluations are based on formal information, tests and are supported by specialists and physicians.

Keys

During an exercise, you can change the value shown on each informational window by pressing the adjacent round select key once. If you wish to have the information displayed in a scanning mode, simply hold down the round select key for three seconds and release it. You can also activate any window to scan by repeating the above sequence. To remove the scan, just press the round select key once again.

The INCREASE and DECREASE Speed keys allow you to modify the speed of the running belt during an exercise. These keys also allow you to select the programs and parameters prior to each exercise. During any exercise program, you can modify the speed of the belt by pressing or holding either the INCREASE or DECREASE Speed key. If you continuously hold down a Speed key, the speed display will change by a tenth of a mile (or kilometer) per hour (0.1 mph or 0.1 km/h). Release the Speed key when you have selected your desired exercise speed.

Notice that the treadmill belt will slowly change to your desired speed. The desired SPEED L.E.D. will be displayed ﬂashing on the display window on the left, while the actual belt speed slowly ramps up to your target speed. Once the speed has been attained the SPEED L.E.D. will stop ﬂashing.

The CLEAR/STOP key allows you to cancel a program selection for any reason. Press this key once to clear data not yet entered.

NOTE – Use the CLEAR/STOP key to stop the running belt should you encounter difﬁculty or need to stop quickly during an exercise.

NUMERIC KEYPAD: Use Numeric keys to enter exercise time, belt speed, weight, distance and target heart rate.

NOTE – These keys also become Quick Speed keys during a program because they can be used to enter directly the speed whole numbers you want to reach without having to use the SPEED INCREASE or DECREASE keys. You just need to select the speed with the numeric keypad keys and press the ENTER key at the top on the right hand side of your computer display monitor. However, if you want to go to 6.5 mph, you need to push 6 and press the ENTER key, you will see your entries on the central information window. Then, with the INCREASE Speed key, go from 6 mph to 6.5 mph.

program in which you need to establish your own warm up and cool down periods.

The warm up has an adjustable duration of one to four minutes and that period is divided in 3 parts.

Warm up:

Part 1: Is 40% in intensity of the ﬁrst segment exercise. Part 2: Is 60% in intensity of the ﬁrst segment exercise. Part 3: Is 80% in intensity of the ﬁrst segment exercise.

NOTE – The default value of the warm up is 3 minutes.

Page 13

The cool down has an adjustable duration of one to four minutes and has only one part.

Cool down:

Part 1: Is a half in intensity of the last segment exercise with a maximum of 3.5 mph (5.6 km/h).

NOTE – The default value of the cool down is 3 minutes.

The calories, time and the distance are not accumulated in the “WARM UP OR COOL DOWN” modes.

2.14 Heart Rate Recovery

Your T280P–T280C–T320 is pre programmed with a unique and useful program that is used to help determine your ﬁtness level. After a program (workout) it can be used to count the time between the actual and your predetermined resting heart rate.

In order to use this program you will need to turn ON Heart Rate Recovery in the settings menu. By default, this option is turned off. You would need to enter in you resting heart rate.

Fit Levels

Although it is difﬁcult to assess each individual based on a generic chart, it is agreed that a quicker time from an exercise level heart rate to a resting (predetermined) heart rate is beneﬁcial to cardio ﬁtness. The best way to use this program is to use it today.

Using Recovery

It will only work while using the optional chest strap. After your exercise is complete, stay on the machine with your chest strap facing the console. Try not to move. It is best to keep your arms to your side as to not interfere with the signal. Stay in this position until the computer has ﬁnished reading the heart rate signal. Depending on your ﬁtness level this could be a few minutes or longer.

NOTE – Using Heart Rate Recovery with Cool/Down. Note that the Heart Rate Recovery will start counting only after the Cool/Down has ended. If you are using Warm/Up and Cool/Down your Heart Rate Recovery will only start at the end. In order to beneﬁt from Heart Rate Recovery we recommend to deactivate the Cool/Down option.

Program Levels

The Cardiovascular, Interval, Random, Hill Climb and Speed Run programs have 5 individual exercise levels. LEVEL 1 is the easiest and LEVEL 5 is the most difﬁcult. This feature allows you to alter the intensity of your workout.

JustGo

Program

The JustGoTMprogram allows you to start a manual exercise with the push of one key. Since the JustGoTMprogram is the initial program, it will always be displayed ﬁrst for easy selection. You have total control of the speed and elevation of the belt at all times during this program. Use the JustGo

program if you like to walk or run at fairly constant speeds with little

or no changes during the exercise.

During the exercise, the speed and elevation that you select will remain for the entire exercise until the next change you make. Your progression in the exercise is shown by one ﬂashing dot.

To start exercising in the JustGo

program:

1. Press the JustGo

/ENTER key when the JustGoTMprogram is displayed on the screen. The running belt will slowly start

at 0.5 mph or 0.8 km/h and at 0% elevation with the exercise duration automatically set to the maximum.

The JustGo

program does not allow the user to predetermine the exercise duration or enter a weight amount. Therefore, the caloric expenditure and calories per hour values will be based on a user of 150 pounds or 68 kilograms. The calorie values should therefore be used only as references when in the JustGo

program.

2. Change the speed and elevation at all times by pressing the respective Speed and Elevation INCREASE and DECREASE keys.

3. You can pause, resume, end the program and save the program at anytime. It is not necessary to exercise the full duration to save the program.

Manual Program

The Manual program allows you to create your own exercise as you progress in the program. The speed and elevation are completely controlled by the user at all times. At a glance, the JustGoTMand Manual programs seem very similar due to the fact that the user controls both the speed and elevation at all times. The difference is that in the Manual program, you can select your exercise duration and weight for a more accurate display of the calories.

During the exercise, the speed and elevation that you select will remain for the entire exercise until the next change you make. Your progression in the exercise is shown by one ﬂashing dot.

Cardiovascular Program

The Cardiovascular program has been designed to allow you to train at moderate intensity levels with short duration, high intensity periods followed by a quick recovery period. The Cardiovascular program has predetermined speed and elevation proﬁles according to the selected exercise levels. You can change the speed and elevation during the exercise if you ﬁnd it too easy or hard.

The speed proﬁle has a set of high intensity segments to greater work your heart muscles. Changing the speed manually will cause only that segment to change. Changing the elevation manually will cause the entire proﬁle to change.

The following table shows the different speeds and elevations for each level.

Level Speed (mph) Speed (km/h) Elevation (%)

1 1.0 to 4 1.6 to 6.4 0.0 to 2.0

2 3.0 to 6 4.0 to 9.6 0.0 to 3.0

3 4.0 to 7 8.0 to 11.2 0.0 to 4.0

4 5.0 to 8 8.0 to 12.9 0.0 to 5.0

5 6.0 to 9 9.7 to 14.5 0.0 to 6.0

Page 18

Interval Program (T280C and T320)

The Interval Training program allows you to exercise with constant high intensity workouts and rest periodically at set recovery periods. The Interval Training program has predetermined speed and elevation proﬁles according to the selected exercise levels. You can change the speed and elevation during the exercise if you ﬁnd it too easy or hard.

If you are at a rest (low intensity) segment, then changing the speed manually will cause all the other segments to change. If your are at a peak (high intensity) segment, then changing the speed manually will cause all the peak segments to change. Changing the elevation manually will cause the entire elevation proﬁle to change.

Random Program

The Random program will display a completely new exercise each time the Random program is selected. This unique feature allows an almost inﬁnite amount of exercise programs to be displayed at the touch of a key. Each new Random program will have a programmed speed and elevation proﬁle, resulting in automatic speed and elevation changes. If you wish, you can change the speed or elevation at anytime during the exercise. The computer can display over 4 billion random programs.

Heart Rate Control Program (HRC) and Weight Loss Program (Requires wireless chest strap)

The Heart Rate Control and Weight Loss Program allows you to exercise at a predetermined heart rate level. By selecting the desired heart rate level (Weight Loss in Weight Loss program), the running belt and elevation will automatically adjust to decrease or increase the exercise intensity.

By selecting your age, plus the intensity level that you want to work your heart at (Only HRC), a target heart rate level is calculated by the computer.

NOTE – This program can only be used with the optional heart rate chest strap available from your Authorized Bodyguard

Dealer. Use of the heart rate chest strap will allow the treadmill belt to change speed along with a change in elevation. To achieve optimal results, it is recommended to place the chest strap directly over the skin. The strap should be very snug since any signiﬁcant amount of shock or impact due to fast running may temporarily produce wrong heart rate signals. You should not be more than arm’s length from the front handle bar to achieve the best signal. If at anytime the heart rate receiver does not detect a signal from the chest strap for more than a few seconds, the following message will appear ‘‘UNSTABLE HR SIGNAL PLEASE CHECK CHEST STRAP’’.

WARNING – Before attempting to use any of this equipment, you should read the instruction manual carefully. Use of this equipment by people with heart or other medical problems may result in serious injury. You should consult with a physician prior to using this equipment. It is recommended to periodically consult your physician as you continue to use this equipment. Immediately cease exercise if you feel dizzy, faint or short of breath. Use of this equipment in a manner other than as prescribed by these instructions herewith may result in serious injury.

/ENTER key to accept.

5. Select an exercise intensity based on your preferred level of exercise. The 60% level is a good guide for those interested in training in the fat loss range. The 70% level is suitable for those interested in training in the cardiovascular range. The 80% level requires the most effort and is suitable for persons with a higher level of ﬁtness. Press the JustGoTM/ENTER key to accept the intensity (60% is a default in Weight Loss Program).

Page 19

6. You can modify the heart rate level suggested by the computer or press the JustGoTM/ENTER key to accept it and start the exercise.

7. To start the exercise, press the JustGo

/ENTER key.

During the Heart Rate Control or Weight Loss program, you can change the speed or elevation by pressing the Speed or Elevation INCREASE or DECREASE keys. Keep in mind that the computer will then gradually readjust the speed and/or elevation to compensate for the change in speed or elevation you made by gradually bringing your ACTUAL heart rate near the TARGET heart rate level.

WARNING – If you feel that the running belt is moving too fast for your ﬁtness level and you cannot keep up, press the CLEAR/STOP key and terminate the exercise program. You can try the program again, but at a lower INTENSITY level (60%). If this is still too fast for you, do not use the Heart Rate Control program until your ﬁtness level allows you to safely exercise at your TARGET heart rate level.

During the exercise, the main computer screen will show a speed or elevation proﬁle like the other programs, but will display your ACTUAL heart rate and your TARGET heart rate on the message center. Once the exercise has started, your ACTUAL heart rate should be lower than the TARGET heart rate. The computer then will gradually regulate the speed and elevation simultaneously to increase your exercise intensity level, resulting in a higher ACTUAL heart rate.

Your heart rate will be displayed on the message center as ACTUAL heart rate and TARGET heart rate (T). For example: HRATE 110/115T.

NOTE – You can change your target heart rate while in the program by pressing the JustGo

/ENTER key and modify it by

using the Speed DECREASE or INCREASE keys and by pressing the JustGo

/ENTER key to accept it.

Walk Program

The Walk program allows you to create your own exercise as you progress in the program. The speed and elevation are completely controlled by the user at all times. At a glance, Manual and Walk programs seem very similar due to the fact that the user controls both the speed and elevation at all times. The difference is that in the Walk program, you can’t go over

4.0 MPH (6.4 KM/H) and 6% of elevation.

During the exercise, the speed and elevation that you select will remain for the entire exercise until the next change you make. Your progression in the exercise is shown by the ﬂashing dot.

Hill Climb Program

The Hill Climb program provides both a programmed hill and speed proﬁles. The programmed hill proﬁle will cause the running belt to elevate and descend at various points during your exercise. The programmed speed proﬁle will cause the speed to change. You can change the speed and elevation during the exercise if you ﬁnd it too easy or hard.

The speed and elevation will change as you progress into the program. Changing the speed manually will cause only that segment to change. Changing the elevation manually will cause the entire elevation proﬁle to change.

The following table shows the different elevations for each level.

Level Elevation %

1 0 to 3 2 1 to 4 3 2 to 6 4 3 to 7.5 5 4 to 10

Speed Run Program

The Speed Run program like the Hill Climb program controls a certain parameter. Speed Run is speed changes. Selecting a higher level will default a higher speed proﬁle. Elevation changes are user controlled.

The speed will change as you progress into the program. Changing the speed or elevation manually will cause the rest of the program to change.

Changing Your Target Heart Rate in a Program

The normal Heart Rate Control program allows you to make Target Heart Rate changes at anytime while in a program by pressing the JustGoTM/ENTER key. The difference is now that by pressing the JustGoTM/ENTER key, it will bring you into Heart Rate Access; by pressing the JustGoTM/ENTER key again, you will be asked to make a new Target Heart Rate change.

The Bodyguard® Heart Rate receiver inside each T280P– T280C – T320 treadmill is speciﬁcally designed to work in conjunction with the optional Heart Rate chest strap. The Heart Rate chest strap allows the computer to monitor your heart rate, or pulses per minute. This value is shown on the computer screen and should only be used as a guide in helping you achieve your personal ﬁtness goals.

If no Heart Rate chest strap is used, no heart rate value (0) will be displayed on the computer screen. Before using any Heart Rate chest strap on any exercise equipment, it is important to consult with a physician prior to commencing any exercise program.

As a guide to effective exercising, to determine your recommended heart rate training zone, ﬁnd your age on the heart rate chart (refer to page 5) and read the heart rate target zone based on various intensity levels. These levels include fat burning zone, cardiovascular zone and aerobic zone.

Tip – Sometimes you will need to moisten the back of the heart rate chest strap to obtain a signal. Use a few drops of water to moisten the chest strap, then place directly over the skin. The chest strap does not work properly when placed over clothing.

Possible Chest Strap Heart Rate Problems

All Bodyguard®machines are compatible with the Polar wireless heart rate system. This includes a chest strap and a receiver. The receiver is an integral part of the machine and it is hidden inside. The chest strap is an option on all machines and can be purchased from Bodyguard

Polar. If you are having some problems with the reception, please use the following

troubleshooting check list.

Troubleshooting Check List – Table 1

The above table should help properly diagnose the problem. There is also misconceptions that the signal is immediate. The chest strap electrodes need to be moistened in order to send a strong signal. Radio and neon light interferences can also reduce the strength of the signal.

Possible Contact Heart Rate Problems

In order to properly diagnose any problem with the conctact heart rate system, please refer to the following procedures. This machine uses a hand ECG (Electrocardiogram) printed circuit board along with wires and a set of metal plates. The hand ECG board is an integral part of the machine and is hidden inside.

3. Press the CLEAR/STOP key to terminate the test.

Belt Alignment

Should you need to adjust the tracking of the running belt, you must make all adjustments during the BELT ALIGNMENT procedure. To determine if the belt is not aligned along the center of the deck, measure the visible deck surface on both left and right sides of the belt. If these values are nearly equal, do not adjust the belt. If one side of the belt is closer to the foot rests than the other side, then you will need to adjust the belt to track to the opposite side.

NOTE – Your treadmill will need belt alignment especially during the ﬁrst 24 hours of use because the belt stretches itself during that time. After the ﬁrst 24 hours, no more adjustment should be needed.

To adjust running belt alignment.

1. In the Diagnostics menu, select the “BELT ALIGNMENT” and accept it by pressing the JustGo

/ENTER key.

2. Press the JustGo

/ENTER key to proceed.

3. You will need the 5/32” hex key to turn the bolts located inside the rear roller end caps.

WARNING – Do not stand on the belt during this procedure. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from the belt and rollers when performing belt alignment.

4. Allow the belt to reach 2.0 mph or 3.2 km/h (speed will be displayed on the computer screen). Looking from the rear

of the treadmill, notice the gap between left and right sides of the belt and the foot rests.

If the running belt is tracking to the left of the deck surface:

• turn the left bolt in a clockwise direction to allow the belt to track to the right and ultimately in the center, or;

• turn the right bolt in a counter-clockwise direction to allow the belt to track to the right and ultimately in the center.

To verify the belt alignment, check visual gap (A) between

belt ends and foot rests (B). Belt alignment bolts (D) are

visible through hole in rear roller caps (C).

ﬁgure 9

Page 26

If the running belt is tracking to the right of the deck surface:

• turn the left bolt in a counter-clockwise direction to allow the belt to track to the left and ultimately in the center, or;

• turn the right bolt in a clockwise direction to allow the belt to track to the left and ultimately in the center.

NOTE – During any belt alignment procedure, do not turn each bolt by more than 1 to 1-1/2 revolutions. Exceeding this may cause a high amount of tension on the running belt and result in premature wear of the belt and rollers. It is best to adjust only one alignment bolt, since this will prevent the belt from excessive stretching resulting from adjustment of both alignment bolts.

5. To verify that the belt is properly aligned, slowly increase the speed to a maximum of 6.0 mph or 9.6 km/h, and let the belt turn for at least one minute. Carefully observe that the belt does not track to the left or right side. If the belt continues to track to one side, or you hear a rubbing noise, immediately press the CLEAR/STOP key to stop the belt. You will need to verify the alignment again.

6. Press the CLEAR/STOP key to terminate the test.

General Care

Your T280P – T280C – T320 have been designed and built to give you trouble free use. For maximum safety however, you should periodically check your unit for signs of wear.

Here’s a quick check list followed by reference Table 3 :

• After each workout, you should wipe down your T280P– T280C – T320 using a mild, non-abrasive liquid cleanser applied on a soft cotton cloth. Do not spray cleansers directly on the unit or use an excessively damp cloth. Do not clean the unit with the power ON, be sure that it is OFF.

• Be sure that the treadmill is on a level surface and that it is not rocking. Excessive rocking may cause the running belt to track to one side of the deck resulting in accelerated wear of the running belt.

• Keep liquids including excessive sweat away from the computer console.

• The running belt and deck surface should be kept clean. Dirt and other debris can cause slipping when exercising.

• Check that each handle bar is secure on the frame.

• Do not put any lubricating product other than the Bodyguard

lubricant.

• Place a carpet or rubber mat under the treadmill to avoid any build up of debris from your exercise shoes. Under extreme conditions, some debris may collect on the ﬂoor just behind the rear roller. It is also recommended to periodically remove any dust that may have accumulated under the treadmill. Excessive amounts of dust may enter into the motor assembly and cause the motor to overheat.

• It is very important to periodically remove any dust that may have accumulated under the motor cover. Use compressed air to blow out the accumulated dust in the motor and board area.

WARNING – To prevent electrical shock or risk of ﬁre, always turn the power OFF and disconnect the power cord whenever you are inspecting and repairing your T280P – T280C – T320.

Belt and Running Deck

Running Belt

The running belt supplied with each treadmill is of the highest quality, offering superior traction and low noise under extreme conditions. It is therefore important to maintain each running belt periodically by observing that no cuts have appeared over time, and that the running belt has not shifted to one side of the deck surface. If the running belt constantly tracks (or moves) to one side of the deck, you must adjust the alignment bolts placed at the rear of the running belt.

See Belt Alignment for complete procedure.

Maintenance Information

Page 29

Deck Surface

The running deck needs to remain free of any loose items that may become trapped between the running belt and the rollers. Avoid dropping liquids on the deck as this may cause gum up problem on the belt.

Under extreme conditions resulting in heavy wear and tear on the deck surface, it may be necessary to remove the deck and turn it over, or turn it back-to-front to expose a fresh surface. The deck is especially designed to offer four reversible sides for a longer life use of the deck.

Please contact your Bodyguard

Dealer for servicing the deck.

Make certain to have the power off before doing any maintenance.

1 - Breaker

2 - ON/OFF switch

Drive motor with connection wires.

1 - Speed sensor cable 2 - Computer power cable 3 - Computer DATA cable 4 - Elevation motor cable 5 - Power AC cable 6 - Motor cable

Lubricant application

1. Clean the deck surface and the inside part of the belt with a dry piece of fabric. Clean the belt ﬁrst by using a long piece of fabric across the belt and start the belt so it makes two complete turns. Then, release the tension on the rear roller to be able to clean the deck surface of any debris or remaining wax.

2. Open the lubricant supplied by your dealer. Place the lubricant tube in the middle of the belt at about 15 inches from the hood cover. Step on the treadmill and step down with your feet where the lubricant tube is located under the belt to make sure that most of the lubricant is now spread evenly on the deck surface. DO NOT START THE TREADMILL YET.

3. Remove the LUBE TUBE from under the belt and put the tension back again on the rear roller. Stand where you applied the lubricant and press JUSTGO to start the belt turning at 0.5 MPH (or 0.8 KMH). Let the belt bring you a the back of the treadmill and come back where you were standing. Do this twice so the lubricant will be present on the total surface of the deck. Start the treadmill and make sure the belt alignment is correct. Refer to the owner’s manual if any problem occurs.
