IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-  
structions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. ICON as-  
sumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of  
this product.  
1. Before beginning any exercise program, con-  
sult your physician. This is especially impor-  
tant for persons over the age of 35 or per-  
sons with pre-existing health problems.  
more amps. No other appliance should be on  
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.  
12. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that  
meets all of the specifications described on  
page 13. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NORDICTRACK dealer or call the  
telephone number on the front cover of this  
manual and order part number 146148, or see  
your local electronics store.  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of this treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
3. Use the treadmill only as described.  
4. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2  
ft. (0.6 m) 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.  
13. Failure to use a properly functioning surge  
suppressor could result in damage to the con-  
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-  
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change  
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,  
which may result in a fall and serious injury.  
5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-  
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
15. 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  
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 26 if the tread-  
mill is not working properly.)  
6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
16. Read, understand, and test the emergency  
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see  
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 15).  
8. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 350 lbs. (159 kg).  
9. Never allow more than one person on the  
treadmill at a time.  
17. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
10. 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. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
19. 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 exercise aids in determining heart  
rate trends in general.  
11. When connecting the power cord (see page 13),  
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor  
(not included). Plug the surge suppressor into  
a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or

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.  
• 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).  
Chest Strap  
Tabs  
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit  
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.  
Tab  
• 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 con-  
sole. If the chest pulse sensor does not function  
properly, try the steps 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 above. The tab should be flush with the front of  
the sensor 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-  
• 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.  
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.  
• 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 arm’s length of the console.  
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.  
• 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.  
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).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT  
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT  
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.  
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-  
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-  
icone 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  
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,  
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-  
trated 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.  
DANGER:  
Improper connection  
of the equipment-grounding conductor can  
result in an increased risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service-  
man 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

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated  
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by  
sudden voltage changes in your home’s 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). To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NORDICTRACK dealer or call the tele-  
phone number on the front cover of this manual  
and order part number 146148, or see your local  
electronics store.

Surge Suppressor  
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 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 unexpect-  
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

Metal Screw  
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 elec-  
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is  
grounded before using an adapter.  
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-

The treadmill features a cushioning system that re-  
duces the impact as you walk or run on the treadmill.  
To increase the firmness of the walking platform, step  
off the treadmill and slide the platform cushions toward  
the front of the treadmill. To decrease the firmness,  
step off the treadmill and slide the platform cushions  
toward the back of the treadmill. Note: Make sure that  
both cushions are set at the same firmness level.  
The faster you run on the treadmill, or the more you  
weigh, the firmer the walking platform should be.  
When the TV button is pressed, the television will  
begin scanning all of the cable channels available  
in your area. When no cable signal is detected on  
a channel, the channel will be skipped. When a  
cable signal is detected, the channel will be saved  
into memory and the next channel will be selected.  
This process will continue until the highest chan-  
nel is reached. Do not remove the key while the  
television is scanning channels. Note: If you are  
viewing channels through an external source  
such as a cable box or a VCR, the television will  
save only the channel used by the external  
source.

PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly  
SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is changing, re-  
move the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the  
maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.  
PROBLEM: Television reception is poor  
SOLUTION: a. Check for the problems listed below and follow the applicable instructions.  
• Ignition (black spots or horizontal streaks that appear or a picture that flutters or drifts)—Usually  
this is caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drifts, or  
other electric appliances. Try changing the position of other electric appliances to correct the  
problem. Make sure that the treadmill is plugged into its own electrical circuit.  
• Ghosts—Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths—one is the direct path  
and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects.  
• Blue Screen—If the cable channel signal is weak, the picture may be of poor quality or a blue  
screen may appear.  
Note: If one of these symptoms appears, the symptom may be caused by the local cable com-  
pany signal reception. Contact the local cable company.  
PROBLEM: The chest pulse sensor does not function properly  
SOLUTION: a. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROU-  
BLESHOOTING on page 12.  
b. If the chest pulse sensor still does not function properly, the battery  
b
should be changed. 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 “open” position. Remove  
the cover.  
Battery 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 bat-  
tery cover and turn it to the closed position.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-  
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of  
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your  
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after  
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin  
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to  
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your  
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training  
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your  
heart rate near the middle number in your training  
zone.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning any  
exercise program, consult your physician.  
This is especially important for persons over  
the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing  
health problems.  
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors may affect the accuracy of  
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is in-  
tended only as an exercise aid in determining  
heart rate trends in general.  
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exer-  
cise, which is activity that requires large amounts of  
oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic ex-  
ercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your  
heart rate is near the highest number in your training  
zone.  
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise  
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a  
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,  
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for  
successful results.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body  
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation  
for exercise.  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-  
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your  
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.  
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for  
fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-  
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During  
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not  
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer  
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you  
exercise–never hold your breath.  
Cooling down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-  
ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles  
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the  
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-  
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your  
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is  
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the  
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
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 of regular exer-  
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each  
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to  
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your  
everyday life.
