IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
12. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-
faces.
13. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See TROU-
BLESHOOTING on page 26 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)
2. Use the treadmill only as described.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 2.5 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and
0.5 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on any surface that blocks air open-
ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the treadmill.
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
16. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, 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.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 135 kg (300 lbs.).
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug the
power cord, and switch the on/off switch to
the “off” position when the treadmill is not in
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca-
tion of the on/off switch.)
8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women. Always wear athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 24.) You
must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.) to
raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
10. When connecting the power cord (see page
10), plug the power cord into an earthed cir-
cuit. No other appliance should be on the same
circuit. When replacing the fuse, an ASTA ap-
proved BS1362 type should be fitted to the
fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be used.
19. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.
20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
11. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-
2
conductor, 1mm (14-gauge) cord that is no
longer than 1.5 m (5 ft.).

21. When using iFIT.com programs, an electronic
“chirping” sound will alert you when the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about
to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and
be prepared for speed and/or incline changes.
In some instances, the speed and/or incline
may change before the personal trainer de-
scribes the change.
24. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.
25. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening.
26.
DANGER:
Always unplug the power
cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the main-
tenance and adjustment procedures de-
scribed in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorised service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorised service
representative only.
22. When using iFIT.com programs, you can man-
ually override the speed and incline settings
by pressing the speed and incline buttons.
However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the
speed and/or incline will change to the next
settings of the program.
23. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from
your CD player or VCR and disconnect your
MP3 player when you are not using them.
27. The treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the treadmill in any commer-
cial, rental, or institutional setting.
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
Read all instructions before using. Newlife assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property
damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
• 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.
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
the hole in 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.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sun-
light for extended periods of time; do not expose it to
temperatures above 50° C (120° F) or below -10° C
(15° F).
• 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.

how the chest pulse sensor is used with the con-
sole. If the chest pulse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.

Unit
• 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.
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

solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor

begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.
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.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the centre of the walking belt. For the con-
sole to display heart rate readings, the user must
be within arm’s length of the console.
Next, 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. Return the
sensor unit to a position against your chest.
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical condi-
tions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be af-
fected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
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 nec-
essary, draining the battery prematurely.
• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 28).

minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate setting may be programmed for two
or more consecutive segments.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of
the treadmill will automatically increase or de-
crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate.

PROBLEM: The shock does not assist the lowering of the treadmill frame
SOLUTION: a. Environmental factors such as cold temperatures can affect the performance of the shock. To re-
store shock performance, hold the ends of the frame near the endcaps firmly with both hands,
and carefully lower the frame to the floor and then raise it several times. To decrease the possi-
bility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the tread-
mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
your training zone.
WARNING:
Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for individu-
als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-
existing health problems.
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.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, 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.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, 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.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-
ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-
tion, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
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 recom-
mended 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 in-
creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula-
tion in preparation for exercise.
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.
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 “train-
ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-
utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-
ercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
Fat Burning
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-
plete 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.
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 en-
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
