IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
hat all users of this treadmill are adequately
t
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 2.5 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and
0.5 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on a surface that blocks any air
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
OW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
H
he chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
T
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into
the hole in one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the
inset drawing. Press the end of the sensor unit under
the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush
with the front of the sensor unit.
Chest Strap
Tabs
Tab
Sensor Unit
Next, wrap the chest
pulse sensor 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 chest pulse
sensor should be under your clothes, 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.
Sensor
Unit
Buckle
Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
•
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
r other container that may trap moisture.
o
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sun-
ight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to
l
temperatures above 50° C (120° F) or below -10° C
(15° F).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as described, move 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, rewet the electrode areas.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself near the centre of the walking belt. For the con-
sole to display heart rate readings, the user must
be within arm’s length of the console.
Next, 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 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.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after
each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.
The chest pulse sensor 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 chest pulse sensor 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 (see
page 28).

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effective. When the manual mode of the console is selected, you can change the speed and incline of the
treadmill with the touch of a button. As you exercise,
the console will display continuous exercise feedback.
You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor.
In addition, the console features twelve preset programs. Each program automatically controls the speed
and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an
effective workout. The console also offers four pulse
programs that control the speed and incline of the
treadmill to keep your heart rate near target heart rate
settings during your workouts.
The console also features iFIT interactive technology.
Having iFIT technology is like having a personal trainer
in your home. Using a stereo audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your portable stereo, home stereo,
computer, or VCR and play special iFIT MP3, CD, and
video programs (iFIT MP3 programs, CDs, and video-
cassettes are available separately). iFIT programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill
as a personal trainer guides you through every step of
your workout; high-energy music provides added motivation. To download iFIT MP3 programs, go to
www.iFIT.com. To purchase iFIT CDs or videocassettes, call the telephone number on the front
cover of this manual.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to www.iFIT.com and access iFIT programs directly from our Web site. See www.iFIT.com
for more information.
To use the manual mode of the console
steps beginning on page 12. To use a preset program, see page 14. To use a pulse program, see
page 16. To use an iFIT MP3, CD, or video program,
see page 20. To use an iFIT program directly from
our Web site, see page 22.
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face
of the console, remove the plastic. To prevent damage to the walking platform, always wear clean athletic shoes while using the treadmill.
