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 any surface that blocks 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

products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets

away from the treadmill at all times.

7. The treadmill should not be used by persons

weighing more than 135 kg (300 lbs.).

8. Never allow more than one person on the

treadmill at a time.

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when

using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women.

Always wear athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),
plug the power cord into an earthed circuit. No
other appliance should be on the same circuit.

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 31).

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effec­tive and enjoyable. When the manual mode of the con­sole is selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill
can be changed 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 eight preset programs
that automatically control the speed and incline of the
treadmill as they guide you through effective workouts.
You can even create your own custom workout pro
grams and save them in memory for future use. The
console also offers two heart rate programs that control
the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart
rate near a target heart rate during your workouts.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol­ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per
sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable,
you can connect the treadmill to your portable stereo,
