WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.
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.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a

HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
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
one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset draw-
ing. 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.
Next, wrap the
chest pulse sen-
sor around your
chest and attach
the other end of
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Adjust the length
of the chest strap,
if necessary. The
chest pulse sensor should be under your clothes, tight
against your skin, and as high under the pectoral mus-
cles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the
logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-
side-up.
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 so-
lution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit
to a position against your chest.
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.
• 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.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 50° Celsius (122°
Fahrenheit) or below -10° Celsius (14° Fahrenheit).
• 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
The instructions on the following pages explain
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.
•Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the centre of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
•The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
•The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 27).

TREADMILL OPERATION
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant. IMPOR-
TANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such
substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break
down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and a
earthing plug.
Two power cords are included. Select the one that will fit your
outlet. See drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord
into the socket on the treadmill. Next, lift the tab on the ferrite
box and clamp the ferrite box around the power cord. Fasten
the included plastic tie just behind the ferrite box and cut off the
excess plastic tie. The plastic tie will prevent the ferrite box
from sliding along the power cord. See drawing 2. Plug the
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped
outlets.
Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a
manufacturer-recommended power cord.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in an in-
creased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to help you get the most from your
workouts.
Whilst the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display instant exercise feedback. You can even mea-
sure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or
the chest pulse sensor.
In addition, the console offers four preset programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout. Four heart rate programs are also offered.
Each program automatically adjusts the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a tar-
get heart rate whilst you exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play
special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iFIT.com CD and video 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. To pur-
chase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, visit our
Web site at www.iFIT.com.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-
cess programs directly from the internet. Additional op-
tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for
more information.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 12. To use a preset program,
see page 14. To use a heart rate program, see page
16. To use an iFIT.com CD or video program, see

HOW TO USE PRESET PROGRAMS
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.
Select one of the preset programs.
When the key is in-
serted, the manual
mode will be selected.
To select a preset pro-
gram, press the right
Select Program button
repeatedly until one of
the four preset program indicators lights.
The diagrams beside the preset program indica-
tors show how the speed and incline of the tread-
mill will change during the preset programs. When
a preset program is selected, the Speed display
will flash the maximum speed setting of the pro-
gram for a few seconds, and the Incline display
will flash the maximum Incline setting. The Time
display will show how long the program will last.
The matrix will show
the first seven speed
settings of the program.
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 of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One speed setting and
one incline setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same speed setting and/or in-
cline setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.
The speed setting for the
first segment is shown in
the flashing Current
Segment column of the
matrix. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in
the matrix.) The speed
settings for the next
seven segments are
shown in the seven
columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and a
series of tones will sound. If the speed and/or in-
cline of the treadmill is about to change, the Speed
display and/or the Incline display will flash to alert
you. When the first segment ends, all speed set-
tings will move one column to the left. The speed
setting for the second segment will then be shown
in the flashing Current Segment column and the
treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and
incline settings for the second segment. Note: If all
of the indicators in the Current Segment column
are lit after the speed settings have moved to the
left, the speed settings may move downward so
that only the highest indicators appear in the ma-
trix. If some of the indicators in the Current
Segment column are not lit when the speed set-
tings move to the left again, the speed settings will
move back up.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column of the matrix and the
last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow
to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Speed or
Incline buttons. Every few times a Speed button is
pressed, an additional indicator will light or darken
in the Current Segment column. (If any of the
columns to the right of the Current Segment col-
umn have the same number of lit indicators as the
Current Segment column, an additional indicator
may light or darken in those columns as well.)
Note: When the next segment of the program
begins, the treadmill will automatically adjust
to the speed and incline settings for the next
segment.

When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
When the program ends, make sure that the in-
cline of the treadmill is at the lowest setting.
Next, remove the key from the console and put it in
a secure place. Note: If the displays and various
indicators on the console remain lit after the
key is removed, the console is in the “demo”
mode. See page 23 and turn off the demo mode.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a
heart rate program. See page 9.
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.
Select a heart rate program.
When the key is in-
serted, the manual
mode will be selected.
To select a heart rate
program, press the left
Select Program button
repeatedly until one of
the four heart rate program indicators lights.
The diagrams beside the heart rate program indi-
cators show how the target heart rate will change
during the programs. During heart rate program 1,
your heart rate will reach approximately 90% of
your estimated maximum heart rate; during heart
rate programs 2 and 3, your heart rate will reach
approximately 85% of your estimated maximum
heart rate; during the Self Select program, your
heart rate will remain near a level that you select.
Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is de-
termined by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated
maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute
(220 – 30 = 190).
During heart rate pro-
grams, the matrix will
show a moving graphic
that represents your
heart rate. Each time a
heartbeat is detected,
an additional peak will
appear.
Enter your age.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the
word “AGE” and the cur-
rent age setting will flash
in the Heart Rate dis-
play. If you have already
entered your age, simply press the Enter button. If
you have not entered your age, press the + and –
buttons beside the Enter button to enter your age.
Then, press the Enter button.
Enter a maximum speed.
After you have entered
your age, the letters
“SPd” and the maximum
speed setting of the pro-
gram will flash in the
Heart Rate display. If
desired, press the + and – buttons beside the
Enter button to change the maximum speed set-
ting. When the desired setting is shown, press the
Enter button.
If the Self Select program is selected, go to
step 6. If a different heart rate program is se-
lected, go to step 7.
Enter a target heart rate.
After you have entered a
maximum speed setting,
the letters “PLS” and the
target heart rate setting
for the program will flash
in the Heart Rate dis-
play. If desired, press the + and – buttons beside
the Enter button to change the target heart rate
setting. When the desired setting is shown, press
the Enter button.

CAUTION: If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the heart rate
programs. If you are taking medication regu-
larly, consult your physician to find whether
the medication will affect your exercise heart
rate.

17
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 of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each heart rate program is divided into several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
is programmed for each segment. Note: If the Self
Select program is selected, the same target heart
rate is programmed for all segments.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the
speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the
program (see step 5 on page 16) and your heart
rate is still too far below the current target heart
rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound and the Speed display
and the Incline display will flash.
The program will continue until the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can adjust the
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,
each time the console compares your heart rate to
the current target heart rate, the speed and/or in-
cline of the treadmill may automatically change to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the Heart Rate dis-
play and the speed and incline of the treadmill
may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-
tected. If this occurs, see CHEST PULSE SEN-
SOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9.
To stop the program, press the Stop button. Heart
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and
then restarted. To use a heart rate program again,
reselect the program and start it at the beginning.
Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 12.
Note: During heart rate
programs, the display
above the Heart Rate
display will show your
heart rate as a percent-
age of your estimated
maximum heart rate.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 13.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
See step 7 on page 15.
