HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, unplug the power
ord. Note: It may be necessary to disconnect a CATV
c

it requires two or three persons. Hold the metal
frame firmly in the location shown at the right.
CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of damage to
the treadmill or of injury, do not lift the frame by the
plastic front cover. Carefully roll the treadmill on the
wheels to the desired location and then lower it back to
the level position. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of in-

240-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on
he same circuit. The product is equipped with a cord
t
having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug.

shown at the right. Do
not modify the plug or
the receptacle. Do not
use an adapter or an extension cord. The receptacle must be earthed.
HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is for use on a dedicated, 20-amp,
120-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. This product is equipped with a cord

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD IN THE UK
If your treadmill has the Workout TV console, a
CATV cable must be connected to the treadmill for
cable TV stations to be viewed.
Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the treadmill.
Connect the CATV
cable to the cable
jack (in the UK use
a PAL adapter [not
included]). Route
the cable so that it
will not be pinched
or crushed by the lift mechanism or the frame.
A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the treadmill. Connect a CATV cable
from the coaxial output on your equipment (usually labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on the
front of the treadmill.
Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly with the treadmill.
RF modulators are not available from FreeMotion
Fitness, but are available at electronics stores. See the
owner's manual for the equipment you wish to connect
to determine if an RF modulator is needed, or contact
your local audio/visual service provider.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The Basic console offers an impressive array of features designed to help you get the greatest benefits
from your exercise.
When the QUICK START mode is selected, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with the
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.
In addition, the console offers a wide selection of workout programs. Each program automatically controls the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill to give you an effective workout.
The console also offers three HEART RATE programs
that adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill to
keep your heart rate near target levels during your
workouts, and three unique FITNESS TEST programs
that measure your relative fitness level. Note: The
HEART RATE programs and the FITNESS TEST pro-
®
grams require the use of a Polar
-compatible chest
pulse sensor (not included).
