HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

The chest pulse sensor consists of two components: 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 on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front of 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 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 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.

• 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

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.

• 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 page 22).

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE

, 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. Please 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 treadmill console offers a selection of features designed to help you get the most from your exercise. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the track and the four displays will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the chest pulse sensor.

The console also features advanced 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 (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 different 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). IFIT.com 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.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the steps beginning on page 11. To use iFIT.com CD or video programs, refer to page 15. To use iFIT.com programs directly from our Web site, see page 17.

CAUTION:Before operating the

console, read the following precautions.

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

• Always wear the clip (see the drawing above) whilst operating the treadmill.

• Adjust the speed in small increments in order to avoid sudden jumps in speed.

• To reduce the possibility of electric shock, keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the console and place only a sealed water bottle in the water bottle holder.

Reset

Position

Locate the Reed Switch (18) and the Magnet (101) on

the left side of the Pulley (78). Turn the Pulley until the

Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure

that the gap between the Magnet and the Reed

Switch is about 3mm (1/8 in.). If necessary, loosen

the 3/4” Screw (24) and move the Reed Switch

slightly. Retighten the Screw. Re-attach the hood, and

run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a cor-

rect speed reading.

PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on SOLUTION: a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1 mm

(14-gauge) cord that is no longer

than 1.5 m (5 ft.). b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-

mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-

come damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE

POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn both

rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a

turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you

should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 7 to

10 cm (3 to 4 in.) off the walking platform. Be careful

to keep the walking belt centred. Plug in the power

cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a few

minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tight-

ened. c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, call our Customer Service Department, toll-free.

PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-centre, first remove the key

and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking

belt has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to

turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if

the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the

bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to

overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the power cord,

insert the key and run the treadmill for a few minutes.

Repeat until the walking belt is centred. b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove

the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using

the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise,

1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-

ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-

ing belt 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) off the walking platform.

Be careful to keep the walking belt centred. Plug in

the power cord, insert the key and carefully walk on

the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-

ing belt is properly tightened.

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

changing, remove the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automati-

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

the incline.

PROBLEM: The heart rate monitor does not function properly SOLUTION: a. If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, refer to CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-

SHOOTING on page 8. b. If the heart rate monitor still does not function properly, the battery

should be changed. To replace the battery, locate the battery cover

on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover

and turn the cover counterclockwise to the “open” position. Remove

the cover.

Next, remove the old battery from the sensor unit. Insert a new CR

2032 battery, making sure that the writing is on top. In addition, make

sure that the rubber gasket is in place in the sensor unit. Replace the

battery cover and turn it to the closed position.

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