HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
Before you use the heart rate monitor, please read all
instructions on this page and the following page.
The heart rate monitor consists of two
components: the
chest strap and the
sensor unit.
See drawing 2 and
attach the chest
strap to the sensor
unit. 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 heart
rate monitor 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 heart rate monitor should be under
your clothing, 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 rightside-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.
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,
draining the battery prematurely.
• 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 sensor unit
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
• 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.
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages 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,
try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate monitor exactly as described at the left. If the heart rate
monitor does not function properly 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 center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.

• 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.
• 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
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced.
Follow the steps at the right 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.
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.

TREADMILL OPERATION
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: 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
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 pos-
sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local REEBOK dealer or call
1-800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion 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 suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
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 suppressor 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 serviceman 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 advanced console offers an impressive array of
features 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, the LED displays will provide continuous exercise feedback.
The console also offers six preset workout programs—
two fat-burning programs that automatically control the
speed and incline of the treadmill to give you effective
fat-burning workouts; two aerobic programs that control
the speed and incline of the treadmill to provide optimal
aerobic exercise; and two pulse programs that change
the speed and incline to keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings during your workouts.
You can even create your own custom workout programs and save them in memory for future use.
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 (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 programs directly from the internet. Additional options are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for
details.
To purchase iFIT.com CD’s or videocassettes, call
toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
