informed of all warnings and precautions.  
faces.  
13. Never move the walking belt whilst 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 whilst you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails whilst 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. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it  
is running. Always remove the key, unplug  
the power cord, and move the on/off switch to

wearing only stockings, or in sandals.  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.  
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 sensors are intended only as ex-  
ercise aids in determining heart rate trends in  
general.  
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

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.  
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.).  
12. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-

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.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

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.  
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  
unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you  
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).

ically change to bring your heart rate closer to the  
target heart rate setting.  
During both pulse control programs, the console  
will regularly compare your heart rate to the cur-  
rent target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is  
too far below or above the target heart rate set-  
ting, the speed of the walking belt will automati-  
cally increase or decrease to bring your heart rate  
closer to the target heart rate setting. If the speed  
of the walking belt reaches 7.5 mph and your  
heart rate is still too far below the target heart rate  
setting, the incline of the treadmill will also in-  
crease.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-  
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and  
incline settings of the program. Begin walking on  
the treadmill. Note: For the most accurate results,  
do not hold the handrails during the fitness test  
program.  
The fitness test program measures your approximate  
VO max, or aerobic capacity. VO max is a measure  
2

of your ability to intake and utilize oxygen to generate  
energy for endurance activities such as running and  
cycling. In technical terms, VO max is the maximum  
2
volume of oxygen, in milliliters, that your body can use  
in one minute, per kilogram of body weight. A high VO  
max indicates a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness.  
2
During the program, the speed and incline of the  
treadmill will periodically change. The speed set-  
ting or the incline setting will flash in the display to  
alert you before each change. Important: The  
Speed and Incline buttons will not function  
during the program.  
Note: To learn more about VO max, refer to a rep-  
2
utable book or consult your physician.  
For the most accurate results, use the fitness test pro-  
gram when you are not feeling tired, when you have not  
eaten for at least two hours, and when you have not ex-  
ercised for at least 24 hours. Follow the steps below to  
use the program.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
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 sensors are intended only as ex-  
ercise 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  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
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.  
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 circu-  
lation in preparation for exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase  
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in  
your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (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 exer-  
cise—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, and 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 to prevent post-  
exercise 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  
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
