This Operation Manual describes the functions of the following product::

Life Fitness Treadmill:

Platinum Club Series Treadmill

See "Specifications" in this manual for product specific features.

Statement of Purpose: The treadmill is an exercise machine that enables users to walk or run, in place, on a moving sur­face.

Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of exercise equipment. Life Fitness STRONG­LY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program, par­ticularly if the user has a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or
smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year.

If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she
must stop immediately.

Des problèmes de santé peuvent être causés par une utilisation incorrecte ou excessive de l'équipement. Life
Fitness recommande FORTEMENT de consulter un médecin pour subir un examen médical complet avant de
commencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur a des antécédents familiaux d'hy­pertension ou de troubles cardiaques, s'il a plus de 45 ans, s'il fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a
pas fait d'exercice régulièrement depuis un an.

Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs ou des difficultés
à respirer, il doit s'arrêter immédiatement.

1GETTING STARTED

1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using the treadmill.

OPERATION

• Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.

• Never insert objects into any opening in this product. If an object should drop inside, turn off the power, unplug the
power cord from the outlet, and carefully retrieve it. If the item cannot be reached, contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services.

• Do not reach into, or underneath, the unit or tip it on its side during operation.

• Never place liquids of any type directly on the unit, except in an accessory tray or holder. Containers with lids are
recommended.

• Do not use this product in bare feet. Always wear shoes. Wear shoes with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not use
shoes with heels, leather soles, cleats or spikes. Make sure no stones are embedded in the soles.

• Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and towels away from moving parts.

• Handrails may be held to enhance stability as needed, but are not for continuous use.

• Never mount or dismount the treadmill while the running belt is moving. Use the handrails whenever additional sta­bility is required. In case of an emergency, such as tripping, grasp the handrails, and place the feet on the side plat­forms.

• Never walk or jog backwards on the treadmill.

• The system issues immobilization of the treadmill when a pre-defined hard key sequence has been activated by the
user. This sequence is currently defined as 3 STOP key presses followed by 3 SPEED DOWN ARROW key presses.
To prevent false toggling of the Immobilized feature, this sequence should be limited to a pre-defined time period
(i.e. sequence must be done in a 5-10 second period). Sequence should also enforce that only PRESSED events
are used (i.e. if HELD or RELEASED are detected during the sequence, then the sequence is rejected). Once the
Workout Logic sees this event, it toggles the Immobilization configuration item, saves it in the registry, and then
issues an ImmobilizationStatus event to the system.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

2.2 DISPLAY CONSOLE AND ACTIVITY ZONE DESCRIPTIONS

This section lists and describes the functions for the buttons on the Touchscreen Display on the Life Fitness Treadmill.
See Section 4, The Workouts, for detailed information on using the console to set up workouts.

TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY

The Touchscreen Display, in combination with the illuminated Control Panel keys, allows the user to move from screen
to screen by simply touching buttons to access other screens. Among many features, the Touchscreen Display enables
users to access:

1) SELECT WORKOUT

— choose a workout.

2) VIRTUAL TRAINER SETUP

8) L

ANGUAGE SELECT — choose from various available languages.

1) HOME SCREEN

A. QUICK START: Press this button to begin a manual workout immediately, bypassing any setup or goal setting. Once

started, the user can then make adjustments to the workout. Once the workout is in progress choose SPEED, or
INCLINE to determine the level of intensity, and ENTER WEIGHT FOR ACCURATE CALORIES so that Calories
Burned/Calories per Hour can be computed and displayed. Select the COOL DOWN button on the bottom of the
screen to enter a cool down phase when ready.

B. SELECT WORKOUT: Allows the user to choose from a variety of different workout programs.

See Section 4.1,Workout Overviews, for a description of each workout.

C. VIRTUAL TRAINER: Allows the user to select a male or female trainer to assist during workout setup and provide

audible feedback during a workout.

D. USB: Allows the user to access previously saved workout setup data, bypassing the workout setup procedure and

immediately entering a workout.

E. SCREEN LOCK/UNLOCK: (Cannot be used during a workout.) Freezes the screen for the purpose of routine main-

tenance/screen cleaning. The screen automatically unlocks after ten seconds. Pressing SCREEN LOCK a second
time will unlock it as well.

8

F. LANGUAGE SELECTION: Allows users to change the language of the interface to one of thirteen possible lan-

guages. Select the appropriate language flag from the bottom of the screen.

G. MORE LANGUAGES: Select this button to see additional language flags.

See Section 5.2, Configuration Menu, Manager’s Configuration 1, Language, for language setup details.

2) CONTROL PANEL

The Control Panel allows the user to control workout and media parameters without leaving the Workout Progress
screen.

H. ARROW KEYS: When in the workout phase, the illuminated UP and DOWN arrow keys are used in combination

with the Touchscreen Display. These keys allow the user to make changes to a workout goal during the workout
setup. Each set of arrow keys controls the goal located directly above it on the Touchscreen Display.

Changeable information (i.e. a workout goal) either appears as a button (Time, Level, Incline, Target Heart Rate*,
and Speed) or is accessible through CHANGE WORKOUT, CHANGE GOAL (Calories, Distance, and for heart rate
programs, Time in Zone). Workout statistics are not changeable.

For example, use the illuminated arrow keys under ELAPSED TIME (a workout goal) to change the goal time for
the session.

I. COOL DOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a cool down phase, which lowers the intensity level. In this

phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which
build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness.

Press the illuminated key under COOL DOWN to enter the cool down stage at any point during the workout. Each work­out’s cool down level is automatically adjusted according to the individual user’s performance. (Cool down times are pre­set in proportion to the duration of a workout.) The cool down time can be changed by using the corresponding arrow
keys on the control panel. At the end of cool down, or after pressing the END WORKOUT key, a workout summary box
appears.

J. PAUSE: Press the illuminated key below PAUSE to stop the belt and hold the current workout. ARESUME WORK-

OUT button and EXIT button appear on the Touchscreen. Continue the workout by selecting RESUME WORKOUT
or end the workout by selecting EXIT.

K. MEDIA: Press the illuminated key next to MEDIA to access the following options: Life Fitness Attachable Television and

iPod.

L. VOLUME: Volume control for the optional Life Fitness Attachable TV and iPod. Press the illuminated UP and

DOWN arrow keys next to the volume icon to adjust volume.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work-
out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

9

M. CH: Channel control for the optional Life Fitness Attachable TV and iPod. Press the illuminated UP and DOWN

arrow keys next to the channel icon (ch) to change channel.

N. CHANGE VIEW: Press the illuminated key next to CHANGE VIEW to toggle between four landscapes: 400-METER

TRACK, CLASSIC PROFILE, MOUNTAIN, and 5K NATURE TRAIL.

O. CHANGE WORKOUT: Press the illuminated key next to CHANGE WORKOUT to switch between four categories of

workouts.

P. VIRTUAL TRAINER: Press the illuminated key next to VIRTUAL TRAINER to turn trainer off.

NOTE: Headphones are necessary to access the sound for the optional Life Fitness Attachable TV and iPod. The

headphone jack is located on the lower center of the Activity Zone. The jack is a user-replaceable feature.
Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for more information. (See Base Assembly Manual for contact
information.)

3) WORKOUT SETUP

Workouts are accessed through the SELECT WORKOUT button. Workouts are located under one of four workout cate­gories: CLASSIC, HEART RATE +, HILL + and ADVANCED. Workout options are listed to the right of each category
label. Advancing through the categories will show individual workout descriptions.

WORKOUT SETUP screens are accessed upon selection of a workout program button. They allow the user to enter val­ues or to choose a goal for the workout selected. These depend on the workout, but might include goal type (time, dis­tance, calories, pace, and distance climbed), level, age, weight, distance, speed, incline, and target heart rate* (for heart
rate programs).

A1. DATA DISPLAY: Displays the data input and value.
B1. ARROW BUTTONS: Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust workout values/goals such as length of workout,

weight, age, incline, speed, distance, target heart rate, and intensity level. Press ENTER (E1) to record the selec­tion.

C1. NUMERIC KEYPAD: Another way for the user to enter workout parameters. Key in the desired number on the key-

pad and press ENTER (E1).

D1. CLEAR: Clears any entry and returns the default setting.
E1. ENTER: Press this button after entering a value to register the value and move to the next screen.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work-
out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

10

F1. GOAL TYPE: Select a desired workout goal type. Choose from Time, Distance, Calories, Pace, Distance Climbed,

Time in Zone or Marathon Mode (if enabled).

G1.BACK: Returns to the previous screen.
H1. START OVER: Exits workout setup and returns to the Home Screen.

TYPES OF WORKOUT SETUP SCREENS

GOAL SETUP SCREENS

• Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout) allowing the user to set a predeter-

mined length of time for the workout.
Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, PACE, DISTANCE

CLIMBED, or TIME IN ZONE (only available for heart rate programs).
For Distance, Calories, Pace, Distance Climbed, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how

long it takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOL
DOWN from the bottom of the display to go immediately into the cool down phase, or choose CHANGE WORK­OUT to access a different program. For more information, see Section 4.2, Using the Workouts, Selecting a

Goal Type.

For information on how to set, and get maximum benefit from, these type of workout goals consult a Personal
Trainer. For further information on Zone Training see Section 3.1, Heart Rate Zone Training, titled Why Heart

Rate Zone Training Exercise.

• Level: Choose the programmed intensity level of the workout. Levels range from 1 to 20.

• Incline: Choose the amount of incline on the treadmill.

• Speed: Use to set the striding belt speed of the treadmill.

• Target Heart Rate*: (heart rate workouts only) Gives a recommended heart rate according to age. For Fat

Burn, the target heart rate is computed at 65% of the theoretical maximum

†

heart rate. For Cardio, the target
heart rate is computed at 80%. For more information on Target Heart Rate, see Section 3, Heart Rate Zone
Training Exercise.

VALUE SETUP SCREENS

• Weight: Entering an accurate weight allows calories to be calculated, and enables Calories Burned and Calories per
Hour.

• Age: Allows heart rate programs to accurately determine target heart rate.

• Gender: Used in the fit test prediction equation and associated fitness rating.

†

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work-

out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

11

4) WORKOUT PROGRESS

The Workout Progress Screen opens automatically upon completion of the workout setup, signaling the user to start the
workout. This screen allows the user to monitor the progress of the workout. It provides a visual representation of the
workout as it proceeds and monitors distance, pace, elapsed time, heart rate, incline, speed, and calories
expended/calories per hour.

From the Workout Progress Screen, goals including Time, Incline, Speed and Target Heart Rate* (for heart rate pro­grams) can be changed at any point during the workout. Not every goal item is available in every workout. Only valid
goal times are shown and accessible in the workout progress screen during a workout. This screen also allows access
to the media center.

A2. MESSAGE AREA: Shows the user the workout type, prompts the user for needed information, and explains con-

cepts.

B2. WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays workout progress using one of four workout landscapes.
C2. CHANGE VIEW: This button allows the user to toggle between four workout landscapes: 400-METER TRACK,

Screen.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work-
out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

Control Panel directly below SPEED to make changes without leaving the Workout Progress Screen.

meter, Calories Expended/Calories per Hour, Target Heart Rate (for heart rate programs), Heart Rate (on any work­out if the user is grasping the Lifepulse sensors or wearing a telemetry strap), and Time in Zone (if selected as a
workout goal).

Cal/Hr has a button above the display which give added functionality. This button can be used to lock the display or
to force the display to toggle. To lock the display, (for instance, turn off the toggle so only calories burned is dis­played) simply press the button once while the desired setting is displayed. To toggle press the button twice in suc­cession.

J2. ZOOM: Select this button to view Incline, Time and Speed in a large, easy-to-read display. The workout profile is not

To change the length of a workout without leaving the Workout Progress Screen, use the illuminated ARROW KEYS
