Warranty Information

Each T240 – T260 treadmill contains a L.E.D. (light emitting diode) computer display monitor. The control functions, unique programs and features have been designed with you in mind, to offer the best possible exercise by displaying important and clear information regarding your excercise progress.

Please familiarize yourself with the functions of the computer display monitor and each program to allow you to have the best possible exercise.

The T240-T260 comes with a magnetic security key. The key’s magnet must be inserted in the appropriate slot in the console for the treadmill to be functional. For security purposes, make sure to attach the key’s clip to your clothes prior to starting an exercise.

1.1 Getting to know the T240 – T260

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.

Central information window

Speed proﬁle (bright green)

Elevation proﬁle (light green)

Flashing dot under indicates your progress in a program. The program starts from the left and ends at the extreme right side

Vertical squares 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 10 mph (16.0 km/h) and 15% elevation to the

top of the scale (12% for T240).

Operating your T240 – T260

PAUSE

SPEED indicates the treadmill belt speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour, ranging from 0.50 to 10.00 mph or

0.80 to 16.00 km/h.

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.

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

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. The maximum elevation is 12% on the T240 model and 15% on the T260 model.

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.

You 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 or temporarily pause an exercise for any reason.

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

Scanning Feature

During an exercise you will be able to view nine scanning exercise parameters on the central informational window along with the exercise program. The parameters that will be displayed are :

• DISTANCE is shown in miles or kilometers for the entire exercise.

• CALORIES indicates the caloric expenditure based on your actual exercise.

• PACE is shown in minutes and seconds.

• ELEVATION is shown % elevation.

• HEART RATE displays your actual heart rate if the optional chest strap is used. The display is shown in beats per minute.

• TREM (time remaning) indicates the amount of time left once a program has started.

or DIST. REM (distance remaining) if you chose distance in your settings

or CAL. REM (calories remaining) if you chose calories in your settings.

• CAL./HOUR (calories per hour) indicates the hourly caloric expenditure based on your actual exercise.

• SPEED displays the actual speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour.

All these parameters scroll on the central informational window.

NOTE – The T240 will not scan the following parameters: PACE, ELEVATION, TREM AND CAL/HOUR.

1.2 Pausing During an Exercise

You can pause any exercise by pressing the CLEAR/STOP key. When this key is pressed during an exercise, the motor will stop and the running belt will slow down to 0 mph (0 km/h) within a few seconds. The stop is gradual, allowing the user to come safely to a complete stop. The elevation will remain at the level just prior to the pause.

To pause an exercise:

1. Press the CLEAR/STOP key whenever you feel the need to stop the exercise or if you need to momentarily pause the exercise. A message will appear on the screen indicating the amount of time remaining in the pause. The pause countdown will only start once the running belt has come to a complete stop.

2. If you wish to continue the exercise, simply press the JustGo

/ENTER key to start the running belt.

3. If you wish to cancel the exercise during the pause, simply press the CLEAR/STOP key. The exercise will be terminated and a summary of your exercise parameters plus the option to save the exercise will be displayed. If your pause is over the duration of the pause time, the exercise will terminate automatically.

1.3 Saving an Exercise (custom programs)

Once any program has ﬁnished or is prematurely terminated, the user has the option to save 15 elevations and speed levels and recall it at a later date. This feature is very useful when a particular exercise is interesting and motivational. With the T240 – T260, you have the ability to create or modify an existing program and save it with the ability to recall it including the heart rate control program. The T240– T260 has the unique feature of saving a heart rate control program and being able to recall this exercise and do it without the chest strap.

Saving an exercise program allows the computer to store 15 speed and elevation changes made during your exercise. The speed and elevation levels saved are the ones before it moves to the next segment. With the T240– T260, you have the ability to create or modify an existing program (personalize) and save it with the ability to recall it.

When any program has ﬁnished or is prematurely terminated, the exercise parameters will ﬁrst appear and then a menu will be displayed in which you have the option to save the exercise. The option will be displayed as “TO SAVE THIS EXERCISE PRESS ENTER IF NOT PRESS STOP”.

If you wish to save the exercise at the end of program: (The T240 treadmill has two custom program slots and the T260 has four.)
