risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service provider
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.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-120 Volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug in the illustration. Make sure that the product
is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product.
This product must be used on a dedicated circuit. To determine if you are on a
dedicated circuit, shut off the power to that circuit and observe if any other
devices lose power. If so, move devices to a different circuit. Note: There
are usually multiple outlets on one circuit.
This treadmill should be used with a minimum 15-amp circuit.
WARNING

HOW TO PROGRAM AND USE CUSTOM INTERVAL BUTTONS
The programmable interval buttons located on the pulse rate grips are designed
to help you customize this machine to match whatever workout you like to do
the most.1
The LEFT and RIGHT INTERVAL BUTTONS are programmable for speed and
incline.
To program the INTERVAL button, you must select a user, start the
machine, set the desired speed and incline, press and hold the desired
INTERVAL button for three seconds until the treadmill beeps. Now the
INTERVAL button is programmed to your settings. After programming the
INTERVAL button, it will remember the setting for that user until
reprogrammed.
Now when the INTERVAL button is pressed, the treadmill speed and incline
will change to the settings you programmed for that button.
The most common type of workout these keys will help with is interval
training. We suggest programming one of the INTERVAL buttons to your high
intensity segments and the other to your recovery segments.
Another common use is to set one INTERVAL button to your warm up and cool
down settings and the other to your desired workout settings.
These buttons should allow you to customize the settings of your treadmill to
quickly fit the type of workout you enjoy most.

FAT BURN: Relatively slow and steady is the name of the game to maximize your weight-loss goals. Promotes weight loss by increasing and decreasing the speed and incline, while keeping you in your fat burning zone.
Speed and Incline changes, segments repeat every 30 seconds.
CUSTOM: Allows you to create and reuse your perfect workout with a
combination of a specific speed, incline and time or distance. The ultimate in
personal programming. This is a time or distance based goal program.
TARGET PROFILES
DISTANCE: Push yourself and go further during your workout with 13 distance workouts. Choose from 1 mile, 2 miles, 5k, 5 miles, 10k, 8 miles, 15k, 10 miles, 20k, half marathon, 15 miles, 20 miles, and marathon goals. You set your level.
Incline changes and all segments are 0.1 miles.
CALORIES: Set goals for burning calories from 20 to 980 calories in 20
calorie increments. You set your level to keep you in your fat burning zone.
TARGET HEART RATE: This program is designed for you to improve your overall cardiovascular fitness levels. You simply set your target heart rate. The program will then monitor and adjust the intensity level to maintain your heart rate within your targeted range while you exercise – a proven method to maximize your weight loss and fitness goals. A chest strap is required and must be worn during the duration of this program. See below for calculating your target heart rate.
Calculating Your Target Heart Rate
The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find
out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 220 – your age). The agebased method
provides an average statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method
for the majority of people, especially those new to heart rate training.
The most precise and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to
have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through
the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the age of 40, overweight,
have been sedentary for several years, or have a history of heart disease in
your family, clinical testing is recommended.
This chart gives examples of the heart rate range for a 30 year old exercising
at 5 different heart rate zones. For example, a 30-year-old’s max HR is 220 –
30 = 190 bpm and 90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 bpm.
Additional target heart rate notes:
The treadmill incline will automatically adjust to bring you near your
specified heart rate.
If there is no heart rate detected, the unit will not change the incline.
If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone the program will shut
down.
Target Heart Rate Zone: Workout Duration: Example THR (age 30): Your THR: Recommend For
VERY HARD 90 – 100%: < 5 min: 171-190 BPM: – : Fit persons for
athletic training
HARD 80 – 90%: 2-10 min: 152-171 BPM: – : Shorter Workouts
MODERATE 70 – 80%: 10-40 min: 133-152 BPM: – : Moderately
long
Workouts
LIGHT 60 – 70%: 40-80 min: 114-133 BPM: – : Longer and
frequently repeated shorter exercises
VERY LIGHT 50 – 60%: 20-40 min: 104-114 BPM: – : Weight
management and active recovery
CUSTOM HEART RATE: This program allows you to set your Heart Rate for a
specified time. The program will adjust incline to keep your Heart Rate in
your target zone. Build multiple Heart Rate targets into a full program to
help you reach your cardiovascular goals. The program total time includes a 4
minute warm up and 4 minute cool down time. Your selected custom heart rates
will repeat after the warm up until 4 minutes before the total time expires.
SPRINTS 8: A time based program that allows you to select a level. After
warm up, the program will give you 30 seconds at a high speed and intensity,
alternating with 90 seconds at a lower recovery speed. Increasing levels will
allow you to keep your calorie burn high and increase your overall running
speed.
TREADMILL SPRINT 8 CHART
Speed changes and segments repeat 90 and 30 seconds.
TO RESET THE CONSOLE
Hold STOP key for 3 seconds.
FINISHING YOUR WORKOUT
When your workout is complete, the unit will beep. Your workout information will stay displayed on the console for 30 seconds and then reset.
USING YOUR MUSIC DEVICE
The 7.8AT Treadmill will connect and stream music form your compatible music
device. This includes many smart phones and traditional mp3 players such as
the iPod®.
Your 7.8AT Treadmill comes equipped with Bluetooth speakers. Bluetooth
compatible devices (running Bluetooth 4.0) can stream music wirelessly from
your device to the speakers. You can also connect your music device via an
audio cable and still stream music through the speakers. Instructions for both
types of audio connection are detailed below.
CONNECTING VIA BLUETOOTH 4.0LE
-
Check to ensure that your music device is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible
-
Go into your device’s Bluetooth settings and scan for devices.
-
On your music device, locate the Bluetooth device list. Select your unit that appears on this list.
Wait for your music device to finish pairing with the unit. -
You will know when pairing is successful when your music device shows the unit as now being a paired device.
WHEN UNIT IS POWERED OFF THEN BACK ON
If you turn your unit off, or if it goes into sleep mode, the next time it is
powered on the unit will look to pair with the last music device with which it
was paired. It will automatically pair at this time.
RE-PAIRING MUSIC DEVICES
In the event that the unit cannot find the last paired music device (for
example, the music device is off or not being used) then the unit will stop
looking to pair with the music device. If this happens, and if you wish to use
your music device again, then you will need to go through the pairing process
listed above and re-pair through your music device’s settings.
USING MULTIPLE MUSIC DEVICES
If multiple devices are being paired with the unit (i.e.: multiple users are
using the unit and pairing their music devices with it) then the unit will
look to pair with the last device used and “forget” other devices. If you wish
to re-pair a “forgotten” music device, then you will need to un-pair the
current paired device and then re-pair your device through the pairing
procedure noted above.
CONNECTING VIA AN AUDIO CABLE
- Connect the included AUDIO ADAPTOR CABLE to the AUDIO IN JACK on the top right of the console and the headphone jack on your music device.
- Use your CD / MP3 player buttons to adjust song settings.
- Remove the AUDIO ADAPTOR CABLE when not in use.
- If you don’t want to use the SPEAKERS, you can plug your headphones into the AUDIO OUT JACK at the bottom of the console. This ensures that if you accidentally catch the headphone line while running, you won’t drop your device to the ground.
AFG TABLET CONNECTED FITNESS SYSTEM
Your Horizon machine is tablet ready, allowing you to use Bluetooth 4.0
technology to wirelessly connect your tablet to your Horizon machine. Using
the free downloadable AFG PRO FITNESS app will enable you to control your
unit’s operating functions via your tablet. The app will also allow you to
monitor your workout, track your progress and view your workout history. The
AFG PRO FITNESS app can be downloaded from either the iTunes store
for iOS devices or from the Google store for Android devices.
For information about connecting your tablet to your Horizon machine setting
up the AFG PRO FITNESS and controlling and monitoring your workout
with your tablet, see the AFG Connected Fitness Manual included with your
unit.
BLUETOOTH HEART RATE MONITORING
The 7.8AT Treadmill is equipped with multi-channel Bluetooth which enables you
to wirelessly connect compatible Bluetooth heart rate monitoring devices to
this unit. You will need to ensure that your wireless heart rate monitoring
device is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible and is also “open” to sharing data.
Non-“open” or “closed” devices typically only share data with their
proprietary apps. The 7.8AT Treadmill needs an “open” device to receive data
from the device. You may need to consult with your device’s owner’s manual or
the manufacturer to confirm if it is an open device.
If you are using a tablet and running the AFG PRO FITNESS app, the compatible
Bluetooth heart rate monitoring device will pair automatically to the app. The
machine’s console will then receive the heart rate information from your
tablet. If you wish to use the Bluetooth heart rate monitoring device without
a tablet and AFG PRO FITNESS app, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the
console for 5 seconds. This will enable the console to communicate directly
with the Bluetooth heart rate monitoring device. Heart rate information will
be displayed on your console display. When in heart rate monitor mode, the
console will be unable to communicate to the tablet. To enable tablet
communication, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the console for 5
seconds or reset power.
