1.2.1. Pause during an exercise
You can pause during an exercise by pressing the PAUSE key (or the STOP key on the T460XC). 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 level it was prior to the pause.
To pause during an exercise:
1. Press the PAUSE (or STOP key on T460XC) key whenever you feel the need to stop or pause during the exercise. A
message indicating the pause time remaining is displayed on the screen (T240S: The abbreviation "P.U.S” will appear in
the incline window to indicate that you are in pause mode. The pause time remaining will appear in the time window).
The pause countdown will only start once the running belt has come to a complete stop.
2. If you wish to resume the exercise, simply press the JustGoTM 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 SAVING/MEMORY option will be displayed (note that the
SAVING/MEMORY option is not available on the T240S). If your pause exceeds the duration of the pause time, the
exercise will terminate automatically and the summary will be displayed.
NOTE – When the safety key is removed, the treadmill will behave as if entering the PAUSE mode.
1.2.2. Selection of distance, speed and weight units
The T240S treadmill allows you to select the desired distance, speed and
weight units. The distance, speed and weight units can be selected to display in
Imperial or International units.
To change distance, speed or weight unit:
1. Make sure you are in the welcome screen mode (see picture).
2. Press the INCREASE/DECREASE INCLINE keys to choose between km/h
or mph or between Imperial or International units. Look at the right hand
side of the speed windowto see the change in units.
3. Press the JustGoTM key to accept.
If you choose mph, you are choosing Imperial units. From then, the speed will be indicated in MPH, the weight will be in
POUNDS and the distance will be in MILES. If you choose km/h, you are choosing International units. From then, the speed
will be indicated in KM/H, the weight will be in KILOGRAMS and the distance will be in KILOMETERS. The default setting is
in Imperial units (mph).
1.2.3. Scan Function
As you exercise on the T240P-T240C-T300-T460XC-T500, the scan function scrolls three exercise parameters across the
scrolling screen. These parameters are PACE, TARGET REMAINING and TARGET SEGMENT. The T460XC displays 3
more parameters: ELEVATION CHANGE, METS and TIME IN ZONE. Note that TIME IN ZONE is only displayed when
training in a Heart Rate Control Program.
NOTE –Refer to the glossary at the 1.1.4 section to find information about these parameters.
1.2.4. Viewing exercise parameters
At the end of each exercise program, the computer will display exercise parameters: TOTAL DISTANCE, CALORIES
BURNED, TOTAL EXERCISE TIME and AVERAGE SPEED (note that AVERAGE SPEED is not displayed on the T240S).
The T460XC will display 2 more parameters: TOTAL ELEVATION CHANGE and TOTAL TIME IN ZONE.

1.2.5. Saving an exercise (Memory)
Once a program has ended or has been stopped prematurely, the user can save up to 20 speed and incline levels, and
repeat them later. This function is very useful when an exercise is particularly interesting and motivating. With all the
treadmills (except the T240S), you can create a program or modify an existing one and then save it for future use, including
the Heart Rate Control program. The treadmills offer 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 T240P-T240C-T300-T460XC-T500 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 PRESS ENTER followed by NOT
PRESS STOP. If you wish to save the exercise, simply press the JustGoTM key and, if you don’t wish to save it, simply
press the STOP key. . If you choose to save the program a message will indicate under what name your exercise was
saved.
