HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. Note: These instructions describe
how the power cord should be connected in the
UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, or France. To connect
the power cord in other countries, re er to the in-
struction sheet accompanying this manual.
This product is for use on a dedicated circuit. In the
UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, or France, use a dedi-
cated 10-amp, 240-volt circuit. No other appliance
should be on the
same circuit. This
product is
equipped with a
cord having an
equipment-
grounding con-
ductor and a
grounding plug.
Plug one end of
the cord into the
treadmill as
shown in drawing
1. Attach the cord bracket over the cord with two
bracket screws.
Next, plug the grounding plug into a receptacle as
shown in drawing 2 at the upper right. Do not modify
the plug or the receptacle. Do not use an adapter, a
surge protector, or an extension cord.
HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE
I your treadmill
has the Workout
TV console, a
CATV cable must
be connected to
the treadmill for
cable TV stations
to be viewed.
Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the treadmill.
Connect the CATV cable to the cable jack using the
PAL adapter.
A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the treadmill. Connect a CATV cable
from the coaxial output on your equipment (usually
labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on the
front of the treadmill.
Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly with the treadmill.
RF modulators are not available from FreeMotion
Fitness, but are available at electronics stores. See the
owner's manual for the equipment you wish to connect
to determine if an RF modulator is needed.
DANGER:Improper connection
o the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk o electric shock.
Check with a quali ied electrician or service-
man i you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modi y
the plug provided with the product—i it will
not it the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a quali ied electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The Basic console offers an impressive array of fea-
tures to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.
Six preset workout programs are also offered. Each
program automatically controls the speed and incline
of the treadmill to give you an effective workout.
In addition, the console offers three pulse-driven pro-
grams that adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill
to keep your heart rate near target levels during your
workouts, and a unique fitness test program that mea-
sures your relative fitness level. Note: The pulse-driven
programs and the fitness test program require the use
of a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor (not included).
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right at your side. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect your portable CD player to the
treadmill and play special iFIT.com CD programs
(iFIT.com CDs are available separately). IFIT.com CD
programs automatically control the speed and incline of
the treadmill as a personal trainer guides you through
every step of your workout. High-energy music provides
added motivation. Each CD features two programs de-
signed by certified personal trainers. To order iFIT.com
CDs, please contact your distributor.

shown in the CURRENT SEGMENT column and
the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed
and incline settings for the second segment. The
program will continue until the speed setting for
the final segment is shown in the CURRENT
SEGMENT column and no time remains in the
program. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
Note: Each time a segment ends and the speed
settings move to the left, if all of the indicators in
the CURRENT SEG ENT column are lit, the
speed settings may move downward so that only
the highest indicators in the columns appear in the
matrix. When the speed settings move to the left
again, if not all of the indicators in the CURRENT
SEGMENT column are lit, the speed settings will
move back up.
Note: You can manually override the speed or in-
cline setting for the current segment by pressing
the SPEED or INCLINE buttons. Every few times
a SPEED button is pressed, an additional indica-
tor will light or darken in the CURRENT SEGMENT
column. (If any of the columns to the right of the
CURRENT SEGMENT column have the same
number of lit indicators as the CURRENT SEG-
MENT column, an additional indicator may light or
darken in those columns as well.) Important:
When the next segment o the program begins,
the treadmill will automatically adjust to the
speed and incline settings or the next segment.

HOW TO USE PULSE-DRIVEN PROGRAMS
Pulse-driven programs automatically control the speed
and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near
a target level while you exercise. Follow the steps
below to use a pulse-driven program.
Put on a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor
(not included).
You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse-driven program. Refer to the instructions
included with your chest pulse sensor.
Insert the key into the console.
Refer to GETTING STARTED on page 14.
Select one o the three pulse-driven programs.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be
selected. To select one of the three pulse-driven
programs, press the MODE button repeatedly until
the words CARDIO WALK PULSE, ENDURANCE
PULSE, or MANUAL PULSE appear in the main
display. Note: The CARDIO WALK PULSE pro-
gram will keep your heart rate near 6 % of your
estimated maximum heart rate (refer to step at
the right for an explanation of your estimated max-
imum heart rate). The ENDURANCE PULSE pro-
gram will keep your heart rate near 80% of your
estimated maximum heart rate. The MANUAL
PULSE program will keep your heart rate near a
percentage that you select.
When a pulse-driven program is selected, the
name of the selected program and the total pro-
gram time will scroll across the main display. The
words ENTER AGE and the current age setting
will then be shown.
During pulse-driven
programs, the matrix
will show a moving
graphic that repre-
sents your heart rate.
Each time a heart-
beat is detected, an
additional peak will appear in the graphic.
Enter your age.
Your must enter your age to use a pulse-driven
program. To enter your age, press the + and – but-
tons above the ENTER AGE/WT button. The but-
tons can be held down to enter your age quickly.
The age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is
shown, press the ENTER AGE/WT button.
I you have selected the CARDIO WALK PULSE
or ENDURANCE PULSE program, go to step 6.
I you have selected the MANUAL PULSE pro-
gram, go to step 5.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
After you have entered your age, the words
ENTER PERCENT and the target heart rate set-
ting for the program will be shown in the main dis-
play. The target heart rate setting represents a
percentage of your estimated maximum heart
rate. Your estimated maximum heart rate is 220
minus your age. 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 0 is equal
to 9 beats per minute ( 0% of 190 is 9 ).
If desired, you can change the target heart rate
setting by pressing the + and – buttons above the
ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held
down to change the target heart rate setting
quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from
0% to 8 % of your estimated maximum heart rate.
Press the START button or the SPEED + button
to start the program.
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.
