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.
Refer to 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
strapÑthe 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 tempera-
tures 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 TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The instructions in the following sections of this
manual explain how the heart rate monitor is used
with the console. If the letters ÒPLSÓ appear in the
PULSE display or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low, try the steps below.
¥ Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your
clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under
the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. In
addition, make sure that the logo on the sensor unit
is facing forward and is right-side-up. Note: If the
heart rate monitor does not function when positioned
as described, try moving 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 your-
self near the center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within armÕs 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
ÒopenÓ 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 LUBETM, 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 homeÕs 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 serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the productÑif 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 ten preset workout programsÑ
four fat burn programs that automatically control the
speed and incline of the treadmill to give you effective
fat-burning workouts; four 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 within a
target range during your workouts.
You can even create your own custom workout programs
and store 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 (CDÕs 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
instructorÑthe hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you can
also go to our new internet site at www.iFit.com and
access basic programs, audio programs, and video
programs directly from the internet. And by adding an
optional iFit.com module to the treadmill, you can use
virtually endless features from our internet site. See
www.iFit.com for complete details.
To purchase iFit.com CDÕs or videocassettes or an
optional iFit.com module, call toll-free 1-800-735-
0768.
