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 on the following pages 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. 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 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 suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right).
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.
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 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 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 level 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 thirteen preset workout programsÑten programs that automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill as they guide you through effective fat-burning, aerobic, or performance workouts; two pulse programs that control the speed and the incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings during your workouts; and a pulse-based fitness test program that estimates your relative fitness level.
You can even create your own custom workout programs and store them in memory for future use.
In addition, the console features a workout history mode that keeps track of the total hours you have exer­cised, the miles you have walked or run, the calories and fat calories you have burned, and your average speed. The console can display the totals for the previous 7 days or the totals since the workout history mode was last reset.
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.
