IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-

structions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. ICON as­sumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of

his product.

t

1. Before beginning any exercise program, con­sult your physician. This is especially impor­tant for persons over age 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.

3. Use the treadmill only as described.

4. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2
ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on any surface that blocks air open­ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam­age, place a mat under the treadmill.

5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois­ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.

6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.

11. When connecting the power cord (see page

13), plug the power cord into an earthed cir­cuit. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. When replacing the fuse, an
ASTA approved BS1362 type should be fitted
to the fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be
used.

12. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3­conductor, 14-gauge (1 mm
longer than 5 ft. (1.5 m).

13. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-

faces.

14. Never move the walking belt while the power

is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See TROU­BLESHOOTING on page 26 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Insert the tab on
one end of the chest strap into the hole in one end of

he sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing. Press

t
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.

Chest Strap

Tabs

Tab

Sensor

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.

Next, 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.

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 chest pulse sen­sor 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.

Unit

Buckle

• 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 sun-

ight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to

l
temperatures above 120° F (50° C) or below 15° F
(-10° C).

• 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.

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 center of the walking belt. For the con-

sole to display heart rate readings, the user must
be within armʼs 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.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

our treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sili-

Y

cone 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 an
earthing plug. IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, it

must be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power
cord.

See drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into the

socket on the treadmill.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD IN AUSTRALIA

See 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 RCD-equipped outlets.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD IN THE UK

See drawing 3. Press the pins on the power cord into the metal clips
in the adapter as shown. Close the adapter cover over the end of the
power cord and tighten the screw in the adapter. IMPORTANT:

CONSOLE DIAGRAM

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effec­tive and enjoyable. 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 continuous exercise feed­back. You can even measure your heart rate using the
handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor (see
page 12 for information on the chest pulse sensor).

In addition, the console features twelve preset work­outs—six performance workouts, and six weight loss
workouts. Each workout automatically controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you
through an effective exercise session. The console
also offers two heart rate workouts that control the
speed and incline of the treadmill to help you keep your
heart rate near target heart rate settings. You can even
create your own custom workouts.

The console also features the new iFit interactive
workout system. The iFit system enables the console
to accept iFit interactive workout cards containing
workouts designed to help you achieve specific fitness

goals. For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8­week Weight Loss workout, or train for a long-distance
run with the Marathon workout. iFit workouts automati­cally control the treadmill while the voice of a personal
trainer coaches you through every step of your work­out. iFit cards are available separately. To purchase

iFit cards at any time, call the telephone number
on the front cover of this manual or go to
www.iFit.com. iFit cards are also available at select
stores.

You can even listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the consoleʼs sound system while
you exercise. This product has been designed specifi­cally to work with iPod and has been certified by the
developer to meet Apple performance standards.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

r any exercise program, consult your physi-

o
cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.

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

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer­cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exer­cise, which is activity that requires large amounts of
oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic ex­ercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten­sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near­est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

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

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min­utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch­ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to 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 of regular exer­cise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
