CONTROLS Although PaceMaster has many advanced features which allow the user complete versatility in meeting exercise needs, basic
operation is extremely easy. Basic operation involves setting your TIME and SPEED goals, then pressing the START button. PaceMaster will
gradually accelerate to your set speed, maintain that speed until the timer counts to zero, then gradually come to a complete stop. During your
exercise the displays keep track of your time remaining, speed, distance traveled, calories burned, and aerobic points earned.
• MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY - The magnetic safety key with its red cord and garment clip is a safety feature of the PaceMaster. Attach the clip to
your clothing at waist level (where a belt buckle would normally be positioned). To turn PaceMaster on insert the circular black key into the recess
on the control panel. During exercise an emergency stop can be made at any time by pulling on the cord to release the key from its slot. This would
happen automatically should a fall occur. Using the key to stop PaceMaster is an emergency procedure only! Normally you should stop
PaceMaster by pressing the stop key or allowing the timer count to zero. Once PaceMaster has come to a complete stop remove the key to turn
PaceMaster off. When not in use store the magnetic safety key in a safe place to prevent unauthorized use. Always use the magnetic safety key
with the clip attached to your waist when operating the PaceMaster.
• POWER UP - Using the magnetic safety key as described above, place the magnet into the slot. The control panel will first display the software
version of your treadmill in the time window for about 2 seconds and then "150 Lb" for a few seconds indicating that PaceMaster is set for a 150
pound user. You can change the weight to your weight by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons before the display disappears (about 3 seconds).
Once you change the weight setting the new weight will appear during power up until it is changed again. You can also access the weight setting
mode when ever the treadmill is not in motion by holding down the SPEED SELECT button for two seconds.
• MINx10, MIN - Before exercise, use these buttons to set the amount of time you wish to exercise. During exercise the TIME display will count
down until zero time is left. PaceMaster will then slow to a complete stop. During exercise (except warm up or cool down periods) each press of the
MIN button will increase the time remaining by one minute.
• FASTER, SLOWER - Before exercise, use these buttons to set your exercise speed. During exercise, these buttons allow you to adjust your
speed. These buttons may also be used in programs to override speed at anytime.
• SPEED SELECT - Use this button to display speed in M.P.H. (miles per hour), MIN/MILE (the number of minutes it takes to complete one mile), or
K.P.H. (kilometers per hour).
• START/STOP - After the TIME and SPEED are set, press START to begin exercise. A "beep" signals that the treadbelt will begin slowly
accelerating to the selected speed. STOP may be pressed at anytime to gradually slowdown to a complete stop. Otherwise the treadbelt will stop
automatically when the timer counts down to zero. A quick but safe emergency stop can be made at anytime by pulling on the safety cord to release
the magnetic key from its slot. Use this as an emergency procedure only!
• PAUSE - At any time during your workout you can put your exercise "on hold" by pressing the PAUSE button. PaceMaster will stop, but retain all
distance, calories, and aerobic points accumulated thus far as well as time remaining and speed. The SPEED window displays "-P-" to indicate
PAUSE is active. You may then answer the phone or doorbell. To resume your workout where you left off press START.
• UP, DOWN - These buttons adjust user body weight. See POWER UP for details. The UP and DOWN buttons set the desired elevation (incline).
Elevation is adjustable from 0% incline to 15% in 0.5% increments. To display the current elevation setting, momentarily press either the UP or
DOWN button. An "E" will appear in the DISTANCE window followed by the elevation setting. For example a 3.5% incline is displayed as "E 3.5".
To change elevation settings either repetitively press or hold down the appropriate button. Before exercise, set your desired elevation value.
PaceMaster will not elevate to this setting until START is pressed to begin exercise. During exercise PaceMaster will immediately seek any new
