9 CONSOLE DIAGRAM ClipKey Note: If there is a thin sheet of plastic on the face of the console, remove it. 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 the 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 23). In addition, the console features six preset programs. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout. You can even create your own custom programs and store them in memory for future use. Two pulse programs are also offered. Each program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate while you exercise. Note: The pulse programs require the use of the optional chest pulse sensor. The console also features 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 guides you through every step of your workout. High-energy music provides added motivation. To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call the toll- free telephone number on the front cover of this manual.
