Cybex 445T/455T Treadmill Owner’s Manual
1 - Safety
IMPORTANT: Read all instructions and warnings before using the treadmill.
Important Voltage Information
Before plugging the power cord into an electrical outlet, verify that the voltage requirements
for your area match the voltage of the treadmill that you have received. The power
requirements for the Cybex 445T/455T treadmill include a grounded, dedicated circuit, rated
for one of the following: 115 VAC ±5%, 60 Hz and 20 amps; 220 VAC, 60 Hz and 12 amps
or 230 VAC ±5%, 50 Hz and 12 amps. See the serial number decal for the exact voltage
requirements of your treadmill.
! WARNING: Do not attempt to use this unit with a voltage adapter. Do not attempt to
use this unit with an extension cord.
! WARNING: Do not plug more than one unit into a single circuit.
Grounding Instructions
This treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
! DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service provider if you are in doubt
as to whether the treadmill is properly grounded. Seek a qualified electrician to perform
any modifications to the cord or plug. Cybex is not responsible for injuries or damages
as a result of cord or plug modification.
This treadmill is for use on a nominal 115
VAC ±5%, 60 Hz and 20 amps, 220 VAC; 60
Hz, 12 amps or 230 VAC ±5%, 50 Hz and
12 amps and a grounded, dedicated circuit.
Make sure that the treadmill is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. Do not use a ground plug adapter
to adapt the power cord to a non-grounded
outlet.

Cybex 445T/455T Treadmill Owner’s Manual
! WARNING: Do not stand on the running belt when starting the treadmill. Always place
your feet on the two top steps when beginning a workout.
3. Place your feet on the two top steps located on each side of the running belt.
4. Clip the e-stop clip onto your clothing and carefully test the e-stop key to ensure it will
activate in case of an emergency. See Emergency Stop Key (e-stop) in Chapter 1 for
properly testing the e-stop key. Also, see Stopping the Treadmill in this chapter for further
information about the e-stop key. NOTE: Be sure the string is free of knots and has
enough slack for you to run comfortably with the e-stop key in place.
5. You now have the option to select a program or enter Manual Mode.
To select a program, press the Programs key and follow the prompts. Press the
Programs key multiple times to cycle through the eight programs, or use the center
keys. Press Enter to select.
Upon entering a program the LEDs flash, prompting you to adjust the appropriate settings.
This is referred to as Program Setup Mode. If the Quick Start key is pressed now, all
defaults for that program will be accepted. After 10 seconds, if no key has been pressed,
the first default will be accepted. After another 10 seconds the second default will be
accepted and so on until the last default. The program will not enter Active Mode until
you press the Enter or Quick Start key. If no key has been pressed for 60 seconds after
displaying the last default, then the treadmill will return to the Dormant Mode.
If you choose to enter Manual Mode instead of choosing a program, press the Quick
Start or the Manual key. NOTE: No prompts will occur when you press Quick Start.
While in Manual Mode, customize your workout Speed, Incline and enter your Weight by
pressing those keys.
NOTE: For the most accurate calorie count, you must set your correct weight before
beginning your workout (including clothing).
NOTE: When selecting a program you must press Enter after each adjustment of Time,
Level and Weight.
6. The treadmill begins a countdown, “3...2...1” and sounds a tone for each count. When
it reaches one (1) the treadmill gives a longer tone and then starts accelerating the belt.
In Manual Mode the belt will begin accelerating to 0.5 mph (0.8 kph) and the incline will
remain at zero percent. In a program the belt will begin accelerating and the incline will
change to the corresponding speed and incline of the program and level you selected.
7. Hold the handrails while you step onto the running belt and begin walking.
8. Observe the three display windows. The top center window will scan (every three
seconds) through Distance
, Calories, Calories per hour, Mets, Pace and Heart Rate.
Press the Scan key to toggle this feature on or off. NOTE: Heart Rate is scanned only
when you are holding the contact heart rate grips or wearing a Polar® compatible chest
strap. The left window will display the time. NOTE: During your workout the time will show
in the format of minutes:seconds (after 99:59 the display will only show minutes). The right
window will display the current speed. See Figure 1A or 1B.
