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
one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle

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 visible and 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.

ach use, it may remain activated longer than nec-
e
essary, 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
r other container that may trap moisture.
o
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it 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 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
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.
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
• 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

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features that help you get the most from your workouts.
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 instant exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or
the chest pulse sensor.
The console also offers six preset programs. Each pro
gram automatically controls the speed and incline of the
treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout.
Four pulse programs are also offered. Each program
adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep
your heart rate near a target heart rate while you exercise. In addition, a fitness test program measures your
VO2 max level. You can even create custom programs
and save them in memory for future workouts.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per
sonal trainer in your home. Using the built-in CD player,
you can play iFIT.com CD programs that automatically
control the speed and incline of the treadmill as a per

OW TO USE PULSE PROGRAMS
H
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 programs. If you are taking medication regularly,
onsult your physician to find whether the
c
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

s
each time the console compares your heart rate to
he current target heart rate, the speed and/or in-
t
cline of the treadmill may automatically change to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
Each pulse program is divided into several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
is programmed for each segment. Note: If pulse
program 4 is selected, the same target heart rate
is programmed for all segments.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the
speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the
program (see step 6 on page 16) and your heart
rate is still too far below the current target heart
rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound and the Speed display
and the Distance/Incline display will flash.
The program will continue until the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Pulse
display and the speed and incline of the treadmill
may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Pulse programs cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a pulse program again, reselect the program and start it at

THE INFORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE
HOW TO LEVEL THE TREADMILL
he console features an information mode that keeps
T
track of the total number of hours that the treadmill has
een operated and the total number of miles that the
b
walking belt has moved. The information mode also allows you to switch the console from miles per hour to
kilometres per hour. In addition, the information mode
allows you to turn on and turn off the demo mode.
To select the information mode, hold down the Stop
button while inserting the key into the console. When
the information mode is selected, the following information will be shown:
The Distance/Incline display
will show the total number of
miles (or kilometres) that the
walking belt has moved.
The Time/Pace display will
show the total number of
hours the treadmill has been
used.
An “E” for English miles or
an “M” for metric kilometres
will appear in the Speed display. Press the Speed + button to change the unit of
measurement.
IMPORTANT: The Calories/Pulse display should be
blank. If a “d” appears in the display, the console is in
the “demo” mode. This mode is intended to be used
only when a treadmill is displayed in a store. When the
console is in the demo mode, the power cord can be
plugged in, the key can be removed from the console,
and the displays and indicators on the console will automatically light in a preset sequence, although the
buttons on the console will not operate.
If a “d” appears
in the Calories/Pulse display when the information
mode is selected, press the Speed – button so the
display is blank.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING: B
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 medical devices.
Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensors are intended only
as exercise aids in determining heart rate
trends in general.
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
efore beginning this
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
begin to use stored
s to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the tread-
i
mill 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.
fat calories
for energy. If your goal
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
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

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 postexercise 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.
