Getting started:
Power the treadmill on by plugging it into an appropriate wall outlet, then turn on the
power switch located at the front of the treadmill below the motor hood. Ensure that the
safety key is installed, as the treadmill will not power on without it.
When the power is turned on, all the lights on the display will light for a short time. Then
the Time and Distance windows will display Odometer readings for a short time. The
Time window will show how many hours the treadmill has been in use and the Distance
window will show how many miles (or Kilometers if the treadmill is set to metric readings)
the treadmill has gone. Then a message will scroll across the message window
(XT600/XT800) or the dot matrix (XT200) showing the current software version. The
treadmill will then enter idle mode, which is the starting point for operation.
Quick-Start Operation:
STEP 1: Press and release the Start key to wake display up (if not already on).
Note: Installing the tether key will also wake up the console.
STEP 2: Press and release the Start key to begin belt movement, at .5 mph, then
adjust to the desired speed using the Fast / Slow keys (console or hand rail). You may
also use the rapid speed keys 2 through 12 to adjust the speed.
STEP 3: To slow tread-belt press and hold the Slow key (console or hand rail) to the
desired speed. You may also press the rapid speed adjust keys, 2 through 12.
STEP 4: To stop the tread-belt press and release red Stop key.
Pause/Stop/Reset Feature:
STEP 1: When the treadmill is running the pause feature may be utilized by pressing
the red Stop key once. This will slowly decelerate the tread-belt to a stop. The incline
will go to zero percent. The Time, Distance and Calorie readings will hold while the unit
is in the pause mode. After 5 minutes the display will reset and return to the start up
screen.
STEP 2: To resume your exercise, when in Pause mode, press the Start key. The
speed and incline will return to their previous settings.
Pause is executed when the Stop button is pressed once. If the Stop key is
pressed a second time, the program will end and a workout summary will be
displayed. If the Stop button is pressed a third time, the console will return to the
idle mode (start up) screen. If the Stop button is held down for more than 3
seconds the console will reset.

Incline Feature:
Incline may be adjusted anytime after belt movement.
Press and hold the Adjust ▲ ▼ keys (console or hand rail) to achieve desired
level of effort. You may also choose a more rapid increase / decrease by selecting
desired key, 2 through 12, on left hand side of console (incline).
The display will indicate incline percent as adjustments are made.
Incline will remain in it’s position when display is turned off.
Dot Matrix Center Display
Twenty rows of Red (Tri-color on XT600/XT800) “dots”(8 high) indicate each segment of
a workout. The dots are only to show an approximate level (speed/incline) of effort.
They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only an approximate percent to
compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the Speed / Incline dot matrix window
will build a profile “picture” as values are changed during a workout.
Next to the Dot Matrix window are three LEDs labeled: Track, Speed and Incline, along
with a Display button. When the Track LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Track profile,
when the Speed LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Speed profile and when the
Incline LED is lit the Dot Matrix displays the Incline profile. You may change the Dot
Matrix profile view by pressing the Display button. After scrolling through the three
profiles, by pressing the Display button, the Dot matrix will automatically scroll through
the three displays showing each one for four seconds. The LED associated with each
profile will blink while that view is displayed. One more press of the Display button will
return you to the Track profile.
(Manual Operation)
:
1/4 Mile Track*:
The 1/4 mile track will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing dot
indicates your progress. Once the 1/4 mile is complete this feature will begin again.
Pulse Grip Feature:
The Pulse (Heart Rate) console window will display your current heart rate in beats per
minute during the workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the front cross
bar to display your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display is receiving a
Grip Pulse signal. You may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate Control.
Note: Refer to Important Safety Instructions (page 2) concerning Pulse Grip operation.
Calorie Display:
Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout.
Note: This is only a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which
cannot be used for medical purposes.
