The information window displays the following parameters:
INCLINE displays the slope of the running belt in terms of percentage. For example, a one percent (1%) slope is equal to one foot
(or one meter) climbed for every 100 feet (or 100 meters) covered.
ELAPSED TIME indicates the amount of time elapsed since the start of any program. The time will range from 0 to a maximum of
99 minutes.
SPEED indicates the treadmills belt speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour, ranging from 0.5 to 11.0 mph or 0.8 to 17.7
km/h.
CALORIES indicates your total caloric expenditure from the start of the program.
CALORIES/HOUR indicates hourly caloric expenditure.
GOAL % indicates the percentage of your goals achieved.
HEART RATE % displays your current BPM (beats per minute) percentage in relation to your maximum BPM.
TARGET BPM shows your target in beats per minute if you are using the Heart Rate Control program.
HEART RATE displays your current heart rate as read by the chest strap or your hands if you are not using a chest strap.

Scan Function
As you exercise, the scan function scrolls three exercise parameters at the bottom of the screen. These parameters are PACE,
TIME REMAINING and TIME SEGMENT.
• PACE displays the number of minutes required to cover a mile or a kilometer at the current speed.
• TIME REMAINING indicates the amount of time remaining since the start of the program.
If you selected the DISTANCE GOAL, the parameter displayed will be REMAINING DIST. If you selected the CALORIES GOAL
program, the parameter displayed will be REMAINING CAL., i.e. the calories you still have to burn before reaching your goal.
• TIME SEGMENT shows the time remaining during the current segment. If you selected the DISTANCE GOAL program, the
parameter will be DIST. SEGMENT, i.e. the distance remaining in the current segment. If you selected CALORIES GOAL, the
parameter displayed will be CAL. SEGMENT, i.e. the remaining calories to be burned during the current segment.
These parameters will scroll across the bottom of the screen.
1.2 Pause During an Exercise
You can pause during any exercise by pressing the PAUSE key. When this key is pressed, the motor will stop and, within seconds,
the running belt will slow down to 0 mph (0 km/h). The stop is gradual, allowing the user to safely come to a complete stop. The
incline will remain at the same level as it was prior to the pause
To pause during an exercise:
1. Press the STOP key whenever you feel the need to stop the T240–T240P–T240C exercise or pause during the program. A
message indicating the pause time remaining is displayed on the screen. The pause countdown will only start once the running belt

TM
key to start the running belt.
3. If you wish to cancel the exercise during the pause, simply press the STOP key. The exercise will be terminated and a summary
of your exercise parameters, as well as the Save option, will be displayed. If your pause exceeds the duration of the pause time,
the exercise will terminate automatically.
1.3 Saving an Exercise (custom programs)
Once a program has ended or has been stopped prematurely, the user can save up to 20 speed and incline levels, and resume
them later. This function is very useful when an exercise is particularly interesting and motivating. With the T240-T240P-T240C,
you can create a program or modify an existing one and then save it for future use, including the Heart Rate Control Program. The
T240-T240-T240C offers a unique option to save and resume a Heart Rate Control Program without the use of a chest strap.
Saving a program enables the computer to save 20 speed and incline levels done during the exercise. The speed and incline
parameters are saved at the end of each on-screen Segment. The T240–T240P–T240C allows you to create a program or modify
an existing one to your specifications, save it and restore it from the memory at a later time.
When an exercise program is over or prematurely stopped, the exercise parameters are displayed and the menu offers you the
opportunity to save your exercise. This option is displayed in abbreviated form: SAVE. APP. JUST GO followed by IF NOT APP.
STOP. If you wish to save the exercise, simply press the JustGo
TM
key and, if you don’t wish to save it, simply press the STOP
key. A message will indicate under what name your exercise was saved.
