HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components— the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into one end of the 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.

Sensor Unit
Chest Strap
Sensor
Unit
Tab
Buckle
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 necessary. 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 solution, wet both electrode areas. Then, return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR 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 heart rate monitor 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, draining the battery prematurely.
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag or 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° Fahrenheit (50°
Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).
• 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.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse sensor does not function 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 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 contractions (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.
• The CR2032 battery in the chest pulse sensor may need to be replaced (see page 23).

TREADMILL OPERATION
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with highperformance 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 tric 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.
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.
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.

Surge Suppressor
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, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
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 elec-

HOW TO USE A PULSE-DRIVEN PROGRAM
Pulse-driven programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level while you exercise. Follow the steps below to use a pulse-driven program.
1
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a pulse-driven program. See the instructions on page 8.
4 Follow your progress with the main display.
See step 5 on page 12.
5 Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 6 on page 13.
6 When the program ends, remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails. Remove the key from the console and put the key in a secure place. Note: If the displays and indicators on the console remain lit after the key is removed, the console is in the “demo” mode. See page 21 and turn off the demo mode.
When the treadmill is not in use, switch the on/off switch near the power cord to the off position and unplug the power cord.
2 Insert the key into the console.
See GETTING STARTED on page 11.
3
Select one of the three pulse-driven programs.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select one of the three pulse-driven programs, press the MODE button repeatedly until the words CARDIO WALK PULSE, ENDURANCE
PULSE, or MANUAL PULSE appear in the main display. Note: The CARDIO WALK PULSE program will keep your heart rate near 65% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate (see step 5 on page 16 for an explanation of your age-predicted maximum heart rate). The ENDURANCE PULSE program will keep your heart rate near 80% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate. The
MANUAL PULSE program will keep your heart rate near a percentage that you select.
15
When a pulse-driven program is selected, the name of the selected program and the total program time will scroll across the main display. The words ENTER AGE and the current age setting will then be shown (see step 4 on page 16).
During pulse-driven programs, the matrix will show a moving graphic that represents your heart rate.
Each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will appear in the graphic.
4 Enter your age.
You must enter your age to use a pulse-driven program.
To enter your age, press the + and – buttons above the ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held down to enter your age quickly.
The age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is shown, press the ENTER AGE/WT button.
If you have selected the CARDIO WALK PULSE program or the ENDURANCE PULSE program, go to step 6. If you have selected the MANUAL
PULSE program, go to step 5.
5
Enter a target heart rate setting.
After you have entered your age, the words
ENTER PERCENT and the current target heart rate setting for the program will be shown in the main display. The target heart rate setting represents a percentage of your age-predicted maximum heart rate . Your age-predicted maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years old, your age-predicted maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30
= 190). If you are 30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).
If desired, you can change the target heart rate setting by pressing the + and – buttons above the
ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held down to change the target heart rate setting quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from
50% to 85% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate.
6 Press the START button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each pulse-driven program is divided into oneminute segments. The main display will show both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment of the program.
One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE program, the same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all segments.)
When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting for the next segment. The speed and/or incline setting will flash in the main display to alert you before the speed and/or incline changes. The program will continue until no time remains in the program. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed and incline setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can adjust the setting with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.
However, if you decrease the speed, the incline will automatically increase ; if you increase the speed, the incline will decrease . If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease ; if you decrease the incline, the speed will increase .
The treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate setting for the current segment.
Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.
If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters PLS will flash in the main display and the speed and incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, see the instructions on page 8.
To stop the program at any time, press the STOP button. Pulse-driven programs should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a pulse-driven program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.

The incline of the treadmill will automatically adjust to 3% and the walking belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
The fitness test program is divided into seven, four-minute levels. One speed setting and one incline setting are programmed for each level.
At the end of each minute of the program, a tone will sound; when the first four-minute level ends, a tone will sound and the main display will show the words LEVEL 2, indicating that the second fourminute level has begun. The incline will then change to 4% and the speed of the walking belt will increase to 2.5 mph.
At the beginning of each four-minute level, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically increase. The fitness test program will continue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate and the current four-minute level ends.
The fitness test program will then end, regardless of how many levels remain.
When the fitness test program ends, the words
COOL DOWN will be shown in the main display and a two-minute cool-down period will begin. The speed and incline will then decrease.
When the cool-down period ends, the walking belt will slow to a stop and your fitness level will be shown in the main display. There are ten fitness levels; fitness level 10 is the highest.
17
Note: The SPEED and INCLINE buttons will not function while the fitness test program is selected. If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters PLS will flash in the main display. If your pulse is not detected at the end of any four-minute level, the fitness test program will end and the main display will show a fitness level of 00.
The fitness test program cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. However, the program can be stopped at any time with the STOP button.
The main display will then show an estimated fitness level.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone.
Aerobic Exercise
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A Warm-up— Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age. The three numbers define your “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
Training Zone Exercise— After warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never hold your breath.
A Cool-down— Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
26
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
