HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

The chest pulse sensor 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 into
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.

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.

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.

• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 50° Celsius (122°
Fahrenheit) or below -10° Celsius (14° Fahrenheit).

• 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, re-wet the electrode areas.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your­self near the centre of the walking belt. For the

console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.

• 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 29).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE

TM

, a high-performance lubricant. IMPOR-

TANT: 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
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break

down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur­rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and a
earthing plug.

Two power cords are included. Select the one that will fit your
outlet. Refer to drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power
cord into the socket on the treadmill. Next, lift the tab on the
ferrite box and clamp the ferrite box around the power cord.
Fasten the included plastic tie just behind the ferrite box and
cut off the excess plastic tie. The plastic tie will prevent the fer­rite box from sliding along the power cord. Refer to drawing 2.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and or­dinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI­equipped outlets.

Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a
manufacturer-recommended power cord.

DANGER:

Improper connection of the equipment-earthing 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 earthed. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an impressive array of
features designed to help you get the most from your
exercise. When the manual mode is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor
or the chest pulse sensor.

In addition, the console offers six preset workout pro­grams and two heart rate programs. Each program au­tomatically controls the speed and incline of the tread­mill to give you an effective workout. You can even
create your own custom workout programs and store
them in memory for future use.

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

stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special
iFIT.com CD and videocassette programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iFIT.com CD and videocassette 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 purchase iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes,
visit our Web site at www.iFIT.com.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can even go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and
access programs directly from the internet. See

www.iFIT.com for more information.
