HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

Before you use the chest pulse sensor, please read all instructions on this page.

The chest pulse sensor consists of two components: the chest strap and the sensor unit.

If the chest strap is not connected to the sensor unit, refer to drawing 2. Insert one of the tabs on the chest strap through one end of the sensor unit. Make sure to press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap—the tab should be almost flush with 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 the areas 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 the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 50° C (122° F) or below -10° C (14° F).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit periodically 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 letters “PLS” appear in the Heart Rate/Calories display, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low, try the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. 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 con-

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

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBETM, 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 cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug.

Two power cords are included. Select the one that will fit your outlet. Refer to drawing 1, and plug the indicated end of the power cord into the socket on the treadmill. Next, lift the indicated tab on the ferrite box and clamp the ferrite box around the power cord. The ferrite box should not be allowed to slide along the power cord. Fasten the included plastic tie just behind the ferrite box and cut off the excess plastic tie. 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. Note: In Italy, an adaptor (not included) must be used between the power cord and the outlet. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

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 to help you get the most from your exercise. When the console is in the manual mode, 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 handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor.

Five preset workout programs are also offered. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. The included hand weights let you add upper-body exercise to your workouts as well. You can even create your own custom workout programs and store them in memory for future use.

In addition, the console offers a fitness test program that measures your relative fitness level and a pulsedriven program that automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level during your workout. Note: The fitness test program and the pulse-driven program require the use of the chest pulse sensor.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive

technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer right 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 programs (iFIT.com CD’s are available separately). IFIT.com CD 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. Each CD features two programs designed by certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocassettes are available separately). Video programs offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add the excitement of working out with a class and an instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and access basic programs, audio programs, and video programs directly from the internet. See www.iFIT.com for details.

For information about iFIT.com CD’s or videocassettes, send an e-mail to workouts@iFIT.com.

Each program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. The Time display shows both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment. One speed setting and one incline setting are programmed for each segment. The speed setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the program display. (The incline settings are not shown in the program display.) The speed settings for the next twelve segments will be shown in the twelve columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a tone will sound. In addition, if the speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change, the Speed/Pace display and/or the Incline display will flash to alert you, and three tones will sound. When the first segment is completed, all speed settings will move one column to the left. The speed setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the second segment.

The program will continue in this way until the speed setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column and no time remains in the Time display. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

Note: Each time a segment ends and the speed settings move to the left, if all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings may move downward so that only the highest indicators in the columns will appear in the program display. When the speed settings move to the left again and some indicators in the Current Segment column are dark, the speed settings will move back up.

If the speed or incline setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually

override the setting by pressing the Speed or Incline buttons on the console. Every few times one of the Speed buttons is pressed, an additional indicator will light or darken in the Current Segment column. If any of the columns to the right of the Current Segment column have the same number of lit indicators as the Current Segment column, an additional indicator may light or darken in those columns as well. Note: If you manually adjust the speed setting so that all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings in the program display will not move downward as described above. Note: If you manually override

the speed or incline setting for the current segment, when the segment ends the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the next segment.

You must enter your age to use the fitness test program. If you have already entered your age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your age, press the AGE buttons to enter your age. Four seconds after the buttons are pressed, the age setting will disappear from the display. Your age will then be saved in memory.

Press the START button or the Speed + button to start the program.

When the button is pressed, the Distance/ Watts display will show an “L 1” (level 1), indicating that the first 4-minute segment of the fitness test program has begun. The incline of the treadmill will automatically adjust to 3% and the walking belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

The fitness test program consists of seven, 4minute segments and is followed by a 2-minute cool-down segment. One speed setting and one incline setting are programmed for each segment. The speed setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the program display. (The incline settings are not shown in the program display.) The speed settings for the remaining seven segments will be shown in the seven columns to the right.

When the first 4-minute segment of the fitness test program is completed, all speed settings will move one column to the left and the Distance/Watts display will show an “L 2,” indicating that the second 4-minute segment has begun. The incline will then adjust to 4% and the speed will increase to 2.5 mph. When the second 4-minute segment is completed, the speed settings will again move one column to the left and the Distance/Watts display will show an “L 3.” The incline will remain the same, but the speed will then increase to 3.3 mph. At the beginning of each 4-minute segment, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically increase. The fitness test program will continue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate, and the current 4-minute segment is completed. The fitness test program will then be completed, regardless of how many segments remain.

When the fitness test program is completed, the letter “C” will appear in the Distance/Watts display, indicating that the 2-minute cool-down segment has begun. The incline will then adjust to 1% and the speed will decrease to 1.2 mph.

Fit. Test Indicator

Current Segment

When the cool-down segment is completed, the walking belt will slow to a stop. After the fitness test program is completed, your fitness level will be shown in the Time display. There are ten fitness levels— fitness level 10 (FL:10) is the highest. Remember, the fitness program is intended only to indicate your relative fitness level.

Note: The Speed and Incline buttons will not function whilst the fitness test program is selected. If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters “PLS” will flash in the Heart Rate/Calories display. If your pulse is not detected during the last thirty seconds of any 4-minute segment (after 4 minutes, after 8 minutes, etc.), the fitness test program will end and the Time display will show a fitness level of 0 (FL: 0).

The fitness test program cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. However, the program can be stopped at any time with the STOP button. The Time display will then show an estimated fitness level.

When the program has ended, remove the key.

See step 6 on page 14.

CAUTION:If you have heart prob-

lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the pulse-driven program. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Press the START button or the Speed + button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Each program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. The Time display will show both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. The heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the program display. The heart rate settings for the next twelve segments will be shown in the twelve columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and the Speed/Pace display and the Incline display will flash. When the first segment is completed, all heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column, and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to the heart rate setting for the second segment.

The program will continue until no time remains in the Time display. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If the speed or incline setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can adjust the setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if you decrease the speed, the incline will automatically increase; if you increase the speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline, the speed will increase. The treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate setting for the current segment. Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.

If your heart rate is not detected during the program, the speed and incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your heart rate is detected. If this occurs, refer to the instructions on page 8.

To stop the program, press the STOP button. The Time display will begin to flash. The pulse-driven program should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use the pulse-driven program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.

SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. Whilst the incline is changing, re-

move the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the

maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age. The three numbers define your “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-

ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts: A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes

of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never hold your breath.

A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

WARNING:Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.

The pulse sensors are not a medical device. Various factors, including your movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
