that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill
on any surface that blocks air openings. To
protect the floor or carpet from damage, place
a mat under the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 pounds.
8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the possi-
bility of your treadmill being damaged, always use
a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see draw-
ing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppres-
sor, see your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-800-
806-3651 and order part number 146148.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. 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 advanced console offers an impressive array of
features 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
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see
page 22).
Four certified personal trainer programs are also
offered. Each program automatically controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effec-
tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also fea-
tured. Each program controls the speed and incline of
the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level
during your workouts.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a
personal 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 coaches you through every step of your workout.
High-energy music provides added motivation. To pur-
chase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-
free 1-800-735-0768.
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 personal trainer
program, see page 14. To use a heart rate program,
see page 15. To use an iFIT.com CD or video pro-
gram, see page 19. To use an iFIT.com program di-
rectly from our Web site, see page 21.
CAUTION: Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power.
• Always wear the clip (see the drawing
above) while operating the treadmill.
•Adjust the speed in small increments to

HOW TO USE PERSONAL TRAINER PROGRAMS
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
12.
Select one of the personal trainer programs.
When the key
is inserted, the
manual mode
will be se-
lected. To se-
lect one of the
personal
trainer programs, press the Program button re-
peatedly until one of the four personal trainer pro-
gram indicators lights. When a personal trainer
program is selected, the Time/Incline/Segment
Time display will flash the maximum incline setting
for the program for six seconds, and the
Speed/Min-mile display will flash the maximum
speed setting.
The four profiles on the right side of the console
show how the speed and incline of the treadmill
will change during the programs. The numbers
beside the profiles show the maximum speed and
incline settings for the programs.
The program display
will show the first
speed settings for the
program. The Time/
Incline/Segment Time
display will show how
long the program will
last.
Press the Start button or the Speed
s
s
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.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. The Time/Incline/
Segment Time display will show both the time re-
maining in the program and the time remaining in
the current segment. One speed setting and one
incline setting are programmed for each segment.
(The same speed setting and/or incline setting may
be programmed for consecutive segments.) The
speed setting for the
first segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the program dis-
play. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in
the program display.)
The speed settings for the next four segments will
be shown in the four 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
tone will sound. In addition, if the speed and/or
incline of the treadmill is about to change, the
Speed/Min-mile display and/or the Time/Incline/
Segment Time display will flash to alert you, and
three tones will sound. When the first segment is
completed, all speed settings will move one col-
umn to the left. The speed setting for the second
segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column and the treadmill will au-
tomatically adjust to the speed and incline settings
for the second segment.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and no time remains in
the Time/Incline/Segment Time display. The walk-
ing belt will then slow to a stop.
Note: Each time a segment ends and the speed
settings move one column to the left, if all of the
indicators in the Current Segment column are lit,
the speed settings will move downward so that only
the highest indicators in the columns will appear in
the program display. When the speed settings
move to the left again and not all of the indicators
in the Current Segment column are lit, the speed
settings will move back up.
If the speed or incline setting for the current
segment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Speed or
Incline buttons. Every few times one of the Speed
buttons 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
column have the same number of lit indicators as
the Current Segment column, an additional indica-
tor may light or darken in those columns as well.
Important: When the current segment of the
program ends, the treadmill will automatically
adjust to the speed and incline settings for the
next segment.

the incline of the treadmill is at the lowest set-
ting. Next, remove the key from the console and
put it in a safe 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 22 and turn off the
demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill, move
the reset/off circuit breaker near the power cord to
the off position and unplug the power cord.
HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Follow the steps below to use the heart rate programs.
Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen-
sor (see page 22) to use the heart rate programs.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
See the instructions included with the optional
chest pulse sensor.
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
inserted, the
manual mode
will be selected.
To select one of
the heart rate
programs,
press the Program button repeatedly until one of
the two heart rate program indicators lights.
The two profiles on the left side of the console
show how the target heart rate will change during
the programs. The numbers above the profiles
represent percentages of your estimated maxi-
mum heart rate. (Your estimated maximum heart
rate is determined 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]. If you are 30 years old, a
target heart rate setting of 50% is equal to 95
beats per minute [50% of 190 is 95]).

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.

16
During heart rate pro-
grams, the program
display will show a
graphic that represents
your heart rate. Each
time a heartbeat is de-
tected, an additional
peak will appear.
Enter your age.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the let-
ters AGE and the current
age setting will begin to
flash in the Calories/
Fat Calories/Heart Rate
display. You must enter your age to use a heart
rate program. If you have already entered your
age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your
age, press the Incline (Age Set) buttons until your
age is shown. Your age will then be saved in mem-
ory.
Press the Start button or the Speed
s
s
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.
Each heart rate program is divided into one-minute
segments. The Time/Incline/Segment Time display
will show both the time remaining in the program
and the time remaining in the current segment of
the program. One target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for each segment. (The same target
heart rate setting may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments.)
When only three seconds remain in the first one-
minute segment of the program, a series of tones
will sound and the Time/Incline/Segment Time
display and the Speed/Min-Mile display will flash.
The speed and/or incline of the treadmill will then
change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to
the target heart rate setting for the next segment.
The program will continue until no time remains in
the program. The walking belt will then slow to a
stop.
If the speed or incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if
you decrease the speed, the incline will automati-
cally increase; if you increase the speed, the in-
cline will decrease. If you increase the incline, the
speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline,
the speed will increase.The treadmill will always
attempt to keep your heart rate near the target
heart rate setting for the current segment. Note:
When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the
speed cannot be increased any further. When the
incline reaches the highest setting, the speed can-
not be decreased any further.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters PLS will flash in the Calories/
Fat Calories/Heart Rate display and the speed
and incline of the treadmill may automatically de-
crease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs,
see the instructions included with the optional
chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Heart rate programs should not 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.
When the program is completed, remove the
key from the console.
