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 sen-
sor should be under your clothes, tight against your
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles 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.
Donot 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 122° Fahrenheit (50°
Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).
•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 center 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).

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-
icone 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
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 appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local REEBOK dealer or call the toll-free tele-
phone number on the front cover of this manual
and order part number 146148, or see your local
electronics store.
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 moni-
toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate
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, accelerate, 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 treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to help you get the most from your
workouts.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
atouch 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.
The console also offers six personal trainer programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also offered.
Each program adjusts the speed and incline of the
treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate
while you exercise. You can even create custom pro-
grams and save them in memory for future 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).

HOW TO USE PERSONAL TRAINER PROGRAMS
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
11.
Select one of the personal trainer programs.
To select a personal
trainer program, press
one of the Walk, Jog, or
Run buttons. The indi-
cator on the button that
you press will light.
When a personal trainer program is selected, the
Speed display will flash the maximum speed set-
ting of the program for a few seconds, and the
Distance/Incline display will flash the maximum in-
cline setting. The Pace/Time display will show
how long the program will last.
The matrix will show
the first seven speed
settings of the program.
Note: The diagrams on
the Walk, Jog, and Run
buttons show how the
speed and incline of
the treadmill will change during the personal
trainer programs. For example, the diagram on
the right Walk button shows that the speed and in-
cline will gradually increase during the first half of
the program and then gradually decrease during
the last half.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
button to start the program.
Amoment 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 Distance/Incline display will
flash to alert you. When the first segment ends,
all
speed settings 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
matrix. 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 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.

Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 11.
Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart rate
program, press the
85% Max or Self Select
button. The indicator on
the button that you
press will light.
During the 85% Max program, your heart rate will
reach approximately 85% of your estimated maxi-
mum 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 determined by subtracting your age from 220.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your esti-
mated 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, a
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 Calories/Pulse
display. If you have al-
ready entered your age, simply press the Enter
button. If you have not entered your age, press
the increase and decrease buttons below 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
Speed display. If de-
sired, press the increase and decrease buttons
below the Enter button to adjust the maximum
speed setting. When the desired setting is shown,
press the Enter button.
If the 85% Max program is selected, go to step
7. If the Self Select program is selected, go to
step 6.
Enter a target heart rate.
The letters “PLS” and
the target heart rate set-
ting for the program will
flash in the Calories/
Pulse display. If desired,
press the increase and
decrease buttons below the Enter button to adjust
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.

Each heart rate program is divided into several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
isprogrammed 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, a tone will sound and 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 maxi-
mum speed setting of the program (see step 5 on
page 14) 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 Distance/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.
Ifyour pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Pulse
display and the speed and incline of the treadmill
may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-
tected. If this occurs, see the instructions on page
8.
To stop the program at any time, 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.
