SPEED indicates the treadmill belt speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour, ranging from 0.50 to 10.00 mph or
0.80 to 16.00 km/h.
DISTANCE displays the total distance in miles or kilometers from the start of the exercise, ranging from 0.00 to 99.00
miles or 0.00 to 99.00 km.
CALORIES will indicate total of your caloric expenditure from the start of the exercise.
ELAPSED TIME indicates the amount of time accumulated from the start of any program. The time will range from
0 to a maximum of 99 minutes.
PACE indicates how long it will take to complete one mile or one kilometer at that current speed. Pace per mile or
kilometer is shown in minutes and seconds.
ELEVATION will display the slope of the running belt in terms of percentage. As an example, one percent (1%) slope is
equal to one foot (or one meter) climbed for each 100 feet (or 100 meters) covered. The maximum elevation is 12% on
the T240 model and 15% on the T260 model.
NOTE – The parameter like calories displays an evaluation of the real values of your exercise parameters. The evaluations
are based on formal information, tests and are supported by specialists and physicians.
Keys
During an exercise, you can change the value shown on each informational window by pressing the adjacent round select
key once. If you wish to have the information displayed in a scanning mode, simply hold down the round select key for three
seconds and release it. You can also activate any window to scan by repeating the above sequence. To remove the scan, just
press the round select key once again.
The INCREASE and DECREASE Speed keys allow you to modify the speed of the running belt during an exercise. These
keys also allow you to select the programs and parameters prior to each exercise. During any exercise program, you can
modify the speed of the belt by pressing or holding either the INCREASE or DECREASE Speed key. If you continuously
hold down a Speed key, the speed display will change by a tenth of a mile (or kilometer) per hour (0.1 mph or 0.1 km/h).
Release the Speed key when you have selected your desired exercise speed.
You notice that the treadmill belt will slowly change to your desired speed. The desired SPEED L.E.D. will be
displayed flashing on the display window on the left, while the actual belt speed slowly ramps up to your
target speed. Once the speed has been attained the SPEED L.E.D. will stop flashing.
The CLEAR/STOP key allows you to cancel a program selection or temporarily pause an exercise for any reason.
NOTE – Use the CLEAR/STOP key to stop the running belt should you encounter difficulty or need to stop quickly during an
exercise.
Scanning Feature
During an exercise you will be able to view nine scanning exercise parameters on the central informational window along
with the exercise program. The parameters that will be displayed are :
• DISTANCE is shown in miles or kilometers for the entire exercise.
• CALORIES indicates the caloric expenditure based on your actual exercise.
• PACE is shown in minutes and seconds.
• ELEVATION is shown % elevation.
• HEART RATE displays your actual heart rate if the optional chest strap is used. The display is shown in beats per
minute.

• TREM (time remaning) indicates the amount of time left once a program has started.
or DIST. REM (distance remaining) if you chose distance in your settings
or CAL. REM (calories remaining) if you chose calories in your settings.
• CAL./HOUR (calories per hour) indicates the hourly caloric expenditure based on your actual exercise.
• SPEED displays the actual speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour.
All these parameters scroll on the central informational window.
NOTE – The T240 will not scan the following parameters: PACE, ELEVATION, TREM AND CAL/HOUR.
1.2 Pausing During an Exercise
You can pause any exercise by pressing the CLEAR/STOP key. When this key is pressed during an exercise, the motor will stop
and the running belt will slow down to 0 mph (0 km/h) within a few seconds. The stop is gradual, allowing the user to come
safely to a complete stop. The elevation will remain at the level just prior to the pause.
To pause an exercise:
1. Press the CLEAR/STOP key whenever you feel the need to stop the exercise or if you need to momentarily pause the
exercise. A message will appear on the screen indicating the amount of time remaining in the pause. The pause
countdown will only start once the running belt has come to a complete stop.
2. If you wish to continue the exercise, simply press the JustGo®/ENTER key to start the running belt.
3. If you wish to cancel the exercise during the pause, simply press the CLEAR/STOP key. The exercise will be terminated and
a summary of your exercise parameters plus the option to save the exercise will be displayed. If your pause is over the
duration of the pause time, the exercise will terminate automatically.
1.3 Saving an Exercise (custom programs)
Once any program has finished or is prematurely terminated, the user has the option to save 15 elevations and speed
levels and recall it at a later date. This feature is very useful when a particular exercise is interesting and motivational. With
the T240 – T260, you have the ability to create or modify an existing program and save it with the ability to recall it
including the heart rate control program. The T240–T260 has the unique feature of saving a heart rate control program and
being able to recall this exercise and do it without the chest strap.
Saving an exercise program allows the computer to store 15 speed and elevation changes made during your exercise. The
speed and elevation levels saved are the ones before it moves to the next segment. With the T240–T260, you have the ability
to create or modify an existing program (personalize) and save it with the ability to recall it.
When any program has finished or is prematurely terminated, the exercise parameters will first appear and then a menu will
be displayed in which you have the option to save the exercise. The option will be displayed as “TO SAVE THIS EXERCISE
PRESS ENTER IF NOT PRESS STOP”.
If you wish to save the exercise at the end of program: (The T240 treadmill has two custom program slots and the T260 has
four.)
1. Press the JustGo®/ENTER key while your parameters are scrolling.
2. The T240 – T260 will indicate to you under which CUSTOM number it has been saved.

2.14 Heart Rate Recovery (T260 only)
Your T260 is pre programmed with a unique and useful program that is used to help determine your fitness level. After a
program (workout) the T260 can be used to countdown towards your predetermined resting heart rate.
In order to use this program you will need to turn ON Heart Rate Recovery in the settings menu. Default this option is turned
off. You would need to enter in you resting heart rate.
Fit Levels
Although it is difficult to assess each individual based on a generic chart. It is agreed that a quicker time from an exercise
level heart rate to a resting (predetermined) heart rate is beneficial to cardio fitness. The best way to use this program is to
use it today.
Using Recovery
It will only work while using the optional chest strap. After your exercise is complete, stay on the machine with your chest
strap facing the console. Try not to move. It is best to keep your arms to your side as to not interfere with the signal. Stay
in this position until the computer has finished reading the heart rate signal. Depending on your fitness level this could be
a few minutes or longer.
NOTE – Using Heart Rate Recovery with Cool/Down. Note that the Heart Rate Recovery will start counting only after the
Cool/Down has ended. If you are using Warm/Up and Cool/Down your Heart Rate Recovery will only start at the end. In order
to benefit from Heart Rate Recovery we receommend that Cool/Down not be activated.
• Five Program Levels • One Heart Rate Control Program
• One JustGo® Program • One Weight Loss Program
• One Manual Program • One Cardiovascular Program
• One Hill Climb Program (T260 only) • Four Memory Programs for T260 / Two for T240
• One Speed Run Program (T260 only) • One Walk Program
• One Track Program (T260 only) • Heart Rate Access Feature
• Four Learn Programs for T260
A program is a pre-set hill pattern. You will get the same profile (hills and valleys) every time you select the same specific
exercise program. By increasing the levels you can change the predetermined hill profiles. The programs allow you to
monitor your progress and they add fun and interest to your exercise.
Each segment time is equal to the selected exercise time divided by 15 segments. Therefore, a 45 minute exercise results in
a 3 minute segment time.
NOTE – The T240 will never show the speed and elevation profiles since it displays only big numbers.
Program Levels
The Speed Run and Hill Climb programs have 5 individual exercise levels. LEVEL 1 is the easiest and LEVEL 5 is the most
difficult. This feature allows you to alter the intensity of your workout. Levels can be changed at anytime during your
workout by pressing the Elevation or Speed INCREASE and DECREASE keys.

WARNING
BEFORE SELECTING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, FIRST STRADDLE YOUR FEET
ON THE FOOT RESTS. NEVER START ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM
WITH ONE OR BOTH FEET ON THE RUNNING BELT.

JustGo®Program
The JustGo®program allows you to start a manual exercise with the push of one key. Since the JustGo®program is the initial
program, it will always be displayed first for easy selection. You have total control of the speed and elevation of the belt at
all times during this program. Use the JustGo®program if you like to walk or run at fairly constant speeds with little or no
changes during the exercise.
During the exercise, the speed and elevation that you select will remain for the entire exercise until the next change you
make. Your progression in the exercise is shown by one flashing dot.
To start exercising in the JustGo®program:
1. Press the JustGo®/ENTER key when the JustGo®program is displayed on the screen. The running belt will slowly start at
0.5 mph or 0.8 km/h and at 0% elevation with the exercise duration automatically set to the maximum.
The JustGo®program does not allow the user to predetermine the exercise duration or enter a weight amount.
Therefore, the caloric expenditure and calories per hour values will be based on a user of 150 pounds or 68 kilograms.
The calorie values should therefore be used only as references when in the JustGo®program.
2. Change the speed and elevation at all times by pressing the respective Speed and Elevation INCREASE and DECREASE keys.
3. You can pause, resume, end the program and save the program at anytime. It is not necessary to exercise the full
duration to save the program.
Manual Program
The Manual program allows you to create your own exercise as you progress in the program. The speed and elevation are
completely controlled by the user at all times. At a glance, the JustGo®and Manual programs seem very similar due to the
fact that the user controls both the speed and elevation at all times. The difference is that in the Manual program, you can
select your exercise duration and weight for a more accurate display of the calories.
During the exercise, the speed and elevation that you select will remain for the entire exercise until the next change you
make. Your progression in the exercise is shown by one flashing dot.
Hill Climb Program (T260 only)
The Hill Climb program provides both a programmed hill and speed profiles. The programmed hill profile will cause the
running belt to elevate and descend at various points during your exercise. The programmed speed profile will cause the
speed to change. You can change the speed and elevation during the exercise if you find it too easy or hard.
The speed and elevation will change as you progress into the program. Changing the speed manually will cause only that
segment to change. Changing the elevation manually will cause the entire elevation profile to change.
The following table shows the different elevations for each level.
Level Elevation %
1 0 to 3
2 1 to 4
3 2 to 6
4 3 to 7.5
5 4 to 10

Track Program (T260 only)
The Track program is one that enables you to choose from
1-99 laps of a 400 Meter (or about a 1/4 mile) Olympic track.
Each Track program allows the user to completely control their
speed from the start of the exercise until the end since there is
no automatic speed control during the Track program.
The Track program will display an oval track screen that will
show your progression on the track. The central information
window will show you how many laps have been done in your
workout. Elevation although not usually found on any track
can be used on the T240 – T260.

Heart Rate Control Program (HRC) and Weight Loss Program
The Heart Rate Control and Weight Loss Program allows you to exercise at a predetermined heart rate level. By selecting the
desired heart rate level (Weight Loss in Weight Loss program), the running belt and elevation will automatically adjust to
decrease or increase the exercise intensity.
By selecting your age, plus the intensity level that you want to work your heart at (Only HRC), a target heart rate level is
calculated by the computer.
NOTE – This program can only be used with the optional heart rate chest strap available from your Authorized Bodyguard®
Dealer. Use of the heart rate chest strap will allow the treadmill belt to change speed along with a change in elevation. To
achieve optimal results, it is recommended to place the chest strap directly over the skin. The strap should be very snug since
any significant amount of shock or impact due to fast running may temporarily produce wrong heart rate signals. You should
not be more than arm’s length from the front handle bar to achieve the best signal. If at anytime the heart rate receiver does
not detect a signal from the chest strap for more that a few seconds, the following message will appear ‘‘UNSTABLE HR
SIGNAL PLEASE CHECK CHEST STRAP’’.
WARNING – Before attempting to use any of this equipment, you should read the instruction manual carefully. Use of
this equipment by persons with heart or other medical problems may result in serious injury. You should consult with a
physician prior to using this equipment. It is recommended to periodically consult your physician as you continue to use this
equipment. Immediately cease exercise if you feel dizzy, faint or short of breath. Use of this equipment in a manner other
than as prescribed by these instructions herewith may result in serious injury.

or DECREASE keys to select your age. The age will vary from 10 to 100 years. Press the JustGo®/ENTER key to accept.
5. Select an exercise intensity based on your preferred level of exercise. The 60% level is a good guide for those interested
in training in the fat loss range. The 70% level is suitable for those interested in training in the cardiovascular range. The
80% level requires the most effort and is suitable for persons with a higher level of fitness. Press the JustGo®/ENTER key
to accept the intensity (60% is a default in Weight Loss Program).
6. You can modify the heart rate level suggested by the computer or press the JustGo®/ENTER key to accept it and start the
exercise.
7. To start the exercise, press the JustGo®/ENTER key.
During the Heart Rate Control or Weight Loss program, you can change the speed or elevation by pressing the Speed or
Elevation INCREASE or DECREASE keys. Keep in mind that the computer will then gradually readjust the speed and/or
elevation to compensate for the change in speed or elevation you made by gradually bringing your ACTUAL heart rate near
the TARGET heart rate level.
WARNING – If you feel that the running belt is moving too fast for your fitness level and you cannot keep up, press the
CLEAR/STOP key and terminate the exercise program. You can try the program again, but at a lower INTENSITY level
(60%). If this is still too fast for you, do not use the Heart Rate Control program until your fitness level allows you to
safely exercise at your TARGET heart rate level.

During the exercise, the main computer screen will show a speed or elevation profile like the other programs, but will display
your ACTUAL heart rate and your TARGET heart rate on the message center. Once the exercise has started, your ACTUAL
heart rate should be lower than the TARGET heart rate. The computer then will gradually regulate the speed and elevation
simultaneously to increase your exercise intensity level, resulting in a higher ACTUAL heart rate.
Your heart rate will be displayed on the message center as ACTUAL heart rate and TARGET heart rate (T). For example:
HRATE 110/115T.
NOTE – You can change your target heart rate while in the program by pressing the JustGo®/ENTER key and modify it by
using the Speed DECREASE or INCREASE keys and by pressing the JustGo®/ENTER key to accept it.
Cardiovascular Program
The Cardiovascular program has been designed to allow you to train at moderate intensity levels with short duration,
high intensity periods followed by a quick recovery period. The Cardiovascular program has predetermined speed and
elevation profiles according to the selected exercise levels. You can change the speed and elevation during the exercise if
you find it too easy or hard.
The speed profile has a set of high intensity segments to greater work your heart muscles. Changing the speed manually will
cause only that segment to change. Changing the elevation manually will cause the entire profile to change.
The following table shows the different speeds and elevation for each level.
Level Speed (mph) Speed (km/h) Elevation (%)
