Press the START button or the SPEED + button
to start the program.
A moment after the but-
ton is pressed, the in-
cline of the treadmill will
automatically adjust to
3% and the walking belt
will begin to move at 1.5
mph. The DISTANCE/LAPS display will show an
ÒL 1Ó (level 1), indicating that the first 4-minute
segment of the fitness test program has begun.
Hold the handrails and begin walking.
The fitness test program is divided into seven,
four-minute segments. Each segment consists of
four, one-minute periods. One speed setting and
one incline
setting are
programmed
for each pe-
riod. The
speed setting
for the first pe-
riod will be
shown in the
flashing
CURRENT PERIOD column of the LED matrix.
(The incline settings are not shown in the matrix.)
The speed settings for the next eighteen periods
will be shown in the eighteen columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first pe-
riod of the program, both the CURRENT PERIOD
column and the column to the right will flash, a
tone will sound, and all speed settings will move
one column to the left. The speed setting for the
second period will then be shown in the flashing
CURRENT PERIOD column.
When the first four-minute segment of the pro-
gram is completed, both the CURRENT PERIOD
column and the column to the right will flash, a se-
ries of tones will sound, and all speed settings will
move one column to the left. The LED matrix will
then show an ÒL 2,Ó indicating that the second 4-
minute segment has begun. The incline will then
adjust to 4% and the speed will increase to 2.5
mph.
At the beginning of each four-minute segment, the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati-
cally increase. The fitness test program will con-
tinue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70%
of your estimated maximum heart rate, and the
current four-minute segment is completed. The fit-
ness test program will then be completed, regard-
less of how many segments remain.
When the fitness test pro-
gram is completed, the
letter ÒCÓ will appear in
the DISTANCE/LAPS
display and a two-minute
cool-down period will
begin. The incline will then adjust to 1% and the
speed will decrease.
When the cool-down pe-
riod is completed, the
walking belt will slow to a
stop and your fitness
level will be shown in the
TIME display. There are
ten fitness levelsÑfitness level 10 (FL:10) is the
highest. Remember, the fitness test program is in-
tended only to indicate your relative fitness level.
Note: The SPEED and INCLINE buttons will not
function while the fitness test program is selected.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters ÒPLSÓ will flash in the PULSE display. If
your pulse is not detected during the last thirty
seconds of any four-minute segment (after four
minutes, after eight minutes, etc.), the fitness test
program will end and the TIME display will show a
fitness level of 0 (FL: 0).
The fitness test program cannot be stopped tem-
porarily and then restarted. However, the program
can be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP
button. The TIME display will then show an esti-
mated fitness level.
When the program is completed, remove the
key.
