The unique CardioTrack heart rate monitor is specially designed for accuracy, comfort, and durability. To get

the best performance from the heart rate monitor, please read the instructions below.

HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR

The heart rate monitor consists of two components: the chest strap and the transmitter. Follow the steps below to put on the heart rate monitor.

1. Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on

one end of the chest strap through the hole in one end of the transmitter. Press the end of the transmitter under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front of the transmitter.

2. Wrap the

heart rate monitor around your chest and attach the other end of the chest strap to the transmitter. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary. The heart rate monitor should be under your clothing, against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the NordicTrack logo is facing forward and is right-side-up.

3. Pull the transmitter away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side. The electrode areas are the two long, grooved rectangles. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the transmitter to a position against your chest.

HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

The instructions on pages 11 to 17 of this owner’s guide explain how the heart rate monitor is used with the console. If the letters “PLS” appear in the PULSE display, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low when the heart rate monitor is used, try the trouble-shooting steps below.

1. Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your clothing, against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Note: If the heart rate monitor does not function when positioned as described, try moving it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

2. Make sure that the NordicTrack logo on the transmitter is facing forwards and is right-side-up.

3. Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet the two electrode areas on the transmitter. If heart rate readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

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

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

5. The heart rate monitor 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.

6. The operation of the heart rate monitor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that magnetic interference may be causing a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

7. If the heart rate monitor still does not function properly, test it by having another person try it.

8. The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see page 9).

HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary.

• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose the heart rate monitor to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the transmitter when using or storing the heart rate monitor.

• Clean the transmitter using water and mild soap— never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.

• If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, the CR 2032 bat- tery may need to be replaced. To replace the battery, locate the battery cover on the back of the transmitter. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover and turn the cover counterclockwise to the “open” position. Remove the cover.

Remove the old battery and insert a new CR 2032 battery, making sure that the battery is turned so the writing is on top. In addition, make sure that the rubber gasket is in place in the transmitter. Replace the battery cover and turn it to the closed position.

Treadmill Operation

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE

, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. They will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the

possibility of your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge protector (not included) with your treadmill.

Surge protectors are sold at most hardware stores and department stores. Use only a ULlisted surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length.

This product must be grounded. If it should

malfunction or break down, grounding 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-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug

the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

DANGER:Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. 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 treadmill console offers an impressive array of features designed to make your workouts more effective.

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, you can watch your progress on the LED “track” while the six displays provide continuous exercise feedback. Eight preset programs are also offered: three HEART RATE programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near predetermined settings, and five INCLINE programs automatically control the incline of the treadmill as they guide you through effective workouts. The console also features two CUSTOM programs that allow you to create your own programs and store them in the console’s memory for future use.

To use the manual mode, follow the steps beginning on page 12. To use the HEART RATE programs, see page 15. To use the INCLINE programs, see page 17. To create a CUSTOM program, see page 19. To use a CUSTOM program, see page 20.

Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers (see Speed Display on page

13). For simplicity, all instructions in this owner’s guide refer to miles.

Key

CAUTION:Before operating the

console, read the following precautions.

• Do not stand on the walking belt when turning on the power or starting the walking belt.

• Always wear the clip (see the drawing above) while operating the treadmill. If the key is pulled from the console, the walking belt will stop.

• The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments.

• The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

• If you have heart problems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the HEART RATE programs. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the console dry. Use a sealable water bottle.

Note: If there is a thin sheet of plastic on the console, remove it.
