HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:

the chest strap and the sensor unit. Insert the tab on

one end of the chest strap into the hole in one end of

he 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 neces-

sary. 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 so-

lution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit

to a position against your chest.

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 chest pulse sen-

sor 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, drain-

ing the battery prematurely.

• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag

r 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 122° F (50° C) or below 14°

F (-10° C).

• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain

how the chest pulse sensor is used with the con-

sole. If the chest pulse sensor does not function

properly, try the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-

sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse

sensor does not function when positioned as de-

scribed, 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, rewet 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 armʼs 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 contrac-

tions (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.

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

HE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-

performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-

cone spray or other substances to the walking

belt or the walking platform. Such substances will

cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be

damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeʼs

power. To decrease the risk of damaging your

treadmill, always use a surge suppressor with your

treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase

a surge suppressor, see precaution 12 on page 3.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is

UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-

pressor (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 moni-

toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate

whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a

properly functioning surge suppressor could dam-

age the control system of the treadmill (see precau-

tion 13 on page 3).

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 elec-

tric shock. This productʼs power cord has an equip-

ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug

the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug

the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet

hat is properly installed and grounded in accor-

dance 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

(see drawing 1). A temporary adapter may be used to

connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle if

a properly grounded outlet is not available (see draw-

ing 2).

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (see drawing 1) can be in-

stalled 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.

The adapter must be held in place by a metal screw.

Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not

grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to deter-

mine if the outlet box cover is grounded before

using an adapter.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor in-

creases the risk of electric shock. Check with

a qualified electrician or serviceman if you

are unsure whether the product is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug—if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-

stalled by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of

features designed to make your workouts more effec-

tive and enjoyable. When you use the manual mode,

you can change the speed and incline of the treadmill

with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the con-

sole will display instant exercise feedback. You can

even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse

sensor or the chest pulse sensor (see page 15).

In addition, the console features eighteen onboard

workouts—five calorie workouts, five intensity work-

outs, four speed workouts, and four incline workouts.

Each workout automatically controls the speed and in-

cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-

tive exercise session.

The console also features an iFit Live mode that en-

ables the treadmill to communicate with your wireless

network through an optional iFit Live module. With the

iFit Live mode, you can download personalized work-

outs, create your own workouts, track your workout re-

sults, race against other runners, and access many

other features. To purchase an iFit Live module at

any time, go to www.iFit.com or call the telephone

number on the front cover of this manual.

You can even listen to your favorite workout music or

audio books with the consoleʼs stereo sound system

while you exercise.

To turn on the power, see page 18. To use the man-

ual mode, see page 18. To use an onboard work-

out, see page 21. To use an iFit Live workout, see

page 22. To use the information mode, see page 23.

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER

IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to

old temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-

perature before turning on the power. If you do not

o this, you may damage the console displays or

other electrical components.

Plug in the power cord (see

page 16). Next, locate the

power switch on the tread-

mill frame near the power

cord. Press the power

switch into the reset

position.

IMPORTANT: The console features a display demo

mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is dis-

played in a store. If the displays light as soon as

you plug in the power cord and press the power

switch into the reset position, the demo mode is

turned on. To turn off the demo mode, hold down

the Stop button for a few seconds. If the displays

remain lit, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page

23 to turn off the demo mode.

Next, stand on the foot

rails of the treadmill. Find

the clip attached to the

key and slide the clip

onto the waistband of

your clothes. Then, insert

the key into the console.

After a moment, the dis-

plays will light. IMPORTANT: In an emergency, the

key can be pulled from the console, causing the

walking belt to slow to a stop. Test the clip by care-

fully taking a few steps backward; if the key is not

pulled from the console, adjust the position of the

clip.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1. Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER at the left.

2. Select the manual mode.

Press the Manual button on the console. If you are

not connected to iFit Live, the manual mode will be

3. Start the walking belt.

To start the walking belt, press the Start button, the

Speed increase button, or one of the numbered 1

Step Speed buttons.

If you press the Start button or the Speed increase

button, the walking belt will begin to move at 1

mph. As you exercise, change the speed of the

walking belt as desired by pressing the Speed in-

crease and decrease buttons. Each time you press

one of the buttons, the speed setting will change by

0.1 mph; if you hold down the button, the speed

setting will change in increments of 0.5 mph. Note:

After you press the button, it may take a moment

for the walking belt to reach the selected speed

setting.

If you press one of the numbered 1 Step Speed

buttons, the walking belt will gradually change

speed until it reaches the selected speed setting.

To select a speed setting that includes a decimal—

such as 3.5 mph—press two numbered buttons in

succession. For example, to select a speed setting

of 3.5 mph, press the 3 button and then immedi-

ately press the 5 button.

To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.

you select the manual

mode, the matrix will

display a track that rep-

resents 1/4 mile (400

meters). As you exer-

cise, the indicators around the track will appear in

succession until the entire track appears. The track

will then disappear and the indicators will again

begin to appear in succession.

The Calories/Incline

display—This display

will show the approxi-

mate number of calo-

ries you have burned.

The display will also

show the incline of the treadmill for a few seconds

each time the incline of the treadmill changes.

The Time display—

This display will show

the elapsed time. Note:

When an onboard

workout is selected,

the display will show

the time remaining in the workout instead of the

elapsed time.

The Distance

display—This display

will show the distance

hat you have walked or

run.

The Speed/Pulse

display—This display

will show the speed of

the walking belt. The

display will also show

your heart rate when

you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest

pulse sensor (see step 6 on page 20).

The Center display—This display will show work-

out instructions, the incline of the treadmill, and the

speed of the walking belt.

Press the Home button to return to the start mode

(see THE INFORMATION MODE on page 23 to

set the start mode). If necessary, press the Home

button again.

To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-

move the key, and then reinsert the key.

6. Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and

he chest pulse sensor at the same time, the

console will not display your heart rate accu-

ately. For information on the chest pulse sensor,

see page 15.

Before using

the handgrip

pulse sensor,

remove the

sheets of

plastic from

the metal con-

tacts on the

pulse bar. In

addition,

make sure that your hands are clean.

To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot

rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on the

metal contacts for approximately ten seconds;

avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is

detected, several dashes will appear and then your

heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate

heart rate reading, continue to hold the con-

tacts for about 15 seconds.

7. Turn on the fan if desired.

The fan features several

peed settings. Press

the Fan increase or de-

rease button to select a

fan speed or to turn off

the fan. Note: If the fan

is on when the walking

belt is stopped, the fan

will turn off automatically after a few minutes.

8. When you are finished exercising, remove the

key from the console.

Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and

adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest

setting. The incline must be at the lowest set-

ting or you may damage the treadmill when you

fold it to the storage position. Next, remove the

key from the console and put it in a secure place.

When you are finished using the treadmill, press

the power switch into the off position and unplug

the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do

this, the treadmillʼs electrical components may

wear prematurely.
