HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate monitor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap
through one of the holes in the sensor unit. Press the
end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest
strap. The tab should be almost flush with the front of
the sensor unit.
Next, wrap the
heart rate monitor around your
chest and
attach the other
end of the chest
strap to the sensor unit. Adjust
the length of the
chest strap, if
necessary. The
heart rate monitor should be under your clothing, tight against your
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or
breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on
the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side.
The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow
ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact
lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the
sensor unit to a position against your chest.
HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
¥ Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each
use, it may remain activated longer than necessary,
draining the battery prematurely.
¥ Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
¥ Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 122¡ Fahrenheit (50¡
Celsius) or below 14¡ Fahrenheit (-10¡ Celsius).
¥ Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
¥ Clean the sensor unit using a damp clothÑnever
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the heart rate monitor is used with the console.
If the letters ÒPLSÓ appear in the PULSE/CALORIES
display or if the displayed heart rate is excessively
high or low, try the steps below.
¥ Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your
clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under
the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
The logo on the sensor unit must be facing forward
and be right-side-up. Note: If the heart rate monitor
does not function when positioned as described, try
moving it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
¥ Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
¥ As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within armÕs length of the console.
¥ The heart rate monitor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
¥ The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
¥ The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right).
Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores
and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage
surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must
have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or
less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps.
This product 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. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the productÑif it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effective.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed and
incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of a
button. As you exercise, the console will display instant
exercise feedbackÑyou can watch your progress on the
LED Òtrack,Ó while the four displays show your heart rate,
the number of calories burned, the incline, workout time,
speed, pace, distance, and laps completed.
Eight preset programs are also offered: three incline programs automatically control the incline of the treadmill as
they guide you through effective workouts; three speed
programs automatically control the speed of the treadmill;
and two pulse driven programs automatically control the
speed and the incline of the treadmill to keep your heart
rate within a predetermined range during your workouts.
The console also features two custom programs that
allow you to create your own workout programs and store
them in the consoleÕs memory for future use.
To use the manual mode, follow the steps beginning on
page 10. To use an incline program or a speed pro-
gram, see page 12. To use a pulse driven program, see
page 13. To create a custom program, see page 14. To
use a custom program, see page 15.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers (see SPEED/PACE DISPLAY
on page 11). For simplicity, all instructions in this section
refer to miles.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
serious injury, read the following precautions
before operating the console.
¥ Do not stand on the walking belt when
turning on the power or starting the
walking belt.
¥ Always wear the clip (see part ÒOÓ in the
drawing above) while operating the treadmill. If the key is pulled from the console,
the walking belt will stop.
¥ The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments.
¥ The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-
vice. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid
in determining heart rate trends in general.
¥ If you have heart problems, or if you are
over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the two pulse driven pro-
grams. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find
whether the medication will affect your
exercise heart rate.
¥ To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep
the console dry, avoid spilling liquids on
the console, and use only a sealed water
bottle.
