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. 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 or stop unexpectedly, which may result
in a fall and serious injury.
2. Use the treadmill only as described.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill
on any surface that blocks air openings. To

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
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-
mill is not working properly.)
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.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 pounds.
17. 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.
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. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord and move 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.)
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 11),
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
19. 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 23.) You
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in
order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 10. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-800-806-
3651 and order part number 146148.
20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.
21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

22. When using iFIT.com CD’s and videos, 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 in-
cline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the per-
sonal trainer describes the change.
25. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.
26. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening.
27.
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
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.
23. When using iFIT.com CD’s and videos, you
can manually override the speed and incline
settings at any time 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 CD or video
program.
24. Always remove iFIT.com CD’s and videos
from your CD player or VCR when you are not
using them.
28. This treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use this treadmill in any commer-
cial, rental, or institutional setting.

each use, it may remain activated longer than nec-
essary, draining the battery prematurely.
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 draw-
ing. 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.
• 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.

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.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• 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.
• 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

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
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
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.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
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 appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-
sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-
800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.

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
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate 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 or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
Lug
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-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

To select one of
the heart rate
programs, press
the Program button repeatedly until one of the two
heart rate program indicators lights.
The two profiles on the left side of the console
show how the target heart rate will change during
the programs. The numbers above the profiles
represent percentages of your estimated maxi-
mum heart rate. (Your estimated maximum heart
rate is determined by subtracting your age from
220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your
estimated 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]).

During heart rate pro-
grams, the program
display will show a
graphic that represents
your heart rate. Each
time a heartbeat is de-
tected, an additional
peak will appear.
The speed and/or incline of the treadmill will then
change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to
the target heart rate setting for the next segment.
The program will continue until no time remains in
the program. The walking belt will then slow to a
stop.
If the speed or incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if
you decrease the speed, the incline will automati-
cally increase; if you increase the speed, the in-
cline 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 can-
not be decreased any further.
Enter your age.

When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the let-
ters AGE and the current
age setting will begin to
flash in the Calories/

display. You must enter your age to use a heart
rate program. If you have already entered your
age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your
age, press the Incline (Age Set) buttons until your
age is shown. Your age will then be saved in mem-
ory.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters PLS will flash in the Calories/Fat
Calories/Heart Rate display and the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill may automatically decrease
until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, refer to
the instructions on page 10.
Press the Start button or the Speed LLbutton to
start the program.
5
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Heart rate programs should not be stopped
temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate
program again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.
Each heart rate program is divided into one-minute
segments. The Time/Incline/Segment Time 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 pro-
grammed for each segment. (The same target
heart rate setting may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments.)

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
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.
• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over the age of
35 or persons with pre-existing health prob-
lems.
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 exercise aids 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
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
pulse sensor.
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.
Fat Burning
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
