exercising may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop
exercising immediately. Equipment should be immediately taken out of use if it
fails to work properly or when a warning is presented electronically.
TRUE STRONGLY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before
undertaking an exercise program, particularly if the user has a family history

Basic Guidelines for Setting Up the Equipment:
After removing the equipment from the packaging, place the equipment on a
clean, level surface. Make sure the electrical cord easily reaches a grounded
three-pronged outlet.
Important Electrical Requirements – 120V:
Your TRUE equipment requires a dedicated 120 volt, alternating current (AC),
20 amp grounded outlet circuit. This means nothing else can be plugged into
the same circuit. Most power circuits are rated for this 120V AC 20 amp
requirement, but you must ensure the equipment does not share the circuit with
anything else.
Important Electrical Requirements – 220V:
Your TRUE equipment requires a dedicated 230 volt, alternating current (AC),
15 amp grounded outlet circuit. This means nothing else can be plugged into
the same circuit. Most power circuits are rated for this 230V AC 15 amp
requirement, but you must ensure the equipment does not share the circuit with
anything else.
DANGER:
Do not use an extension cord or ungrounded outlet:
The ground helps prevent electrical damage to your equipment and enhances your
safety by helping to prevent shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the equipment is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the unit if it will not fit the
outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Lower LED Display:
Displays the workout profile of the current program.
Speed and Incline LED Displays:
These displays show the current incline and speed of the unit.
Quick Touch Speed and Incline Keys:
These keys allow the user to quickly adjust the INCLINE levels in increments
of 0.5% and SPEED in increments of 0.5 mph. To manually enter a speed or
incline increment, press the corresponding numerical readout and a numerical
pad will appear to enter your selection.

console software. Note: Confirm charging capability with your electronic
device as not all electronic devices are chargeable on the Ignite console.
Warning Decal:
Important safety information for users to review prior to using the equipment.
PROGRAMMING & OPERATION
WORK OUT PROGRAMM DESCRIPTION
Quick Start:
A workout in which the user controls all settings. The workout continues until
it is ended by the user.
Note:
The user can adjust Speed and Incline manually via the Quick Access Keys on
the Contact Heart Rate Pads or incrementally via the Quick Touch Speed and
Incline keys on the Ignite console.
caution:
The safety key must be in place on the machine, and should be attached to the
user’s clothing.
HEART RATE MONITORING:
The machine can monitor a user’s heart rate using either a Polar® compatible
chest strap or the metal grips on the hand rails (called contact heart rate or
CHR pads). A chest strap transmits the user’s heart rate to the machine via a
radio signal, and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to
extract the user’s heart rate.
Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:
Although this machine functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring
feature, this kind of monitoring gives valuable feedback on the user’s effort
level. Chest strap monitoring also enables users to use Heart Rate Control
(HRC), the most advanced exercise control system available. When users wear a
Polar® compatible transmitter strap, the machine will display the user’s heart
rate as a digital beats per minute (bpm) readout. The transmitter strap should
be worn directly against the user’s skin, about 1-2 inches below the pectoral
muscles/breast line. Women should be careful to place the transmitter below
their bra line. Initially the transmission signal for heart rate may be
erratic or non-existent. Some moisture is necessary between the strap and the
user’s skin for proper transmission. Sweat from exercise works best, but
ordinary tap water may be used prior to the workout if desired.
A Note on Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:
The chest strap produces a radio signal that the machine reads and registers
as the user’s heart rate. The accuracy of a reading may be affected when
outside interference is present.
Contact Heart Rate (CHR):
The CHR system will let the user monitor their heart rate without wearing a
chest strap. When using the CHR system users should gently grasp the CHR pads
with both hands. Within 30 seconds, the user’s heart rate should be displayed
as a digital bpm readout (during the first 30 seconds the system is analyzing
and locking in the user’s heart rate). Users should exercise with smooth body
motions and breathe regularly. It is best to avoid talking while using the CHR
system, as talking will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10
bpm. To ensure an accurate reading, the user’s hands should be clean, free of
both dirt and hand lotions.
Note:
For increased safety and accuracy, the CHR system should only be used at
speeds of 4 mph or lower (CHR readings are less accurate due to large muscle
movements above this speed).
A Note on CHR Accuracy:
CHR monitoring may be less accurate than chest strap monitoring since the
heart rate signals are much stronger at the chest. When using a HRC workout,
it is best to use a chest strap because of the stronger and more accurate
readings.
caution:
Do not use the contact heart rate grips as a handlebar during a workout.
IGNITE OPERATION
CONSOLE NAVIGATION:
Workout Summary:
Workouts can be ended by pressing the Stop (A) button. Once a workout has
ended, the console will display a Workout Summary, which will give the user an
overview of their workout data including Time, Average Heart Rate, Max Heart
Rate, Average Speed, Max Speed, Distance, and Calories. To clear the Workout
Summary and return to the Home screen, press the Stop (A) button.
Exporting Workout Data to a USB Drive:
The Ignite console gives users the ability to export their workout data to a
USB drive. When this option is enabled, the screen below will appear before
the Workout Summary screen. To export the data, insert a USB drive into the
console’s USB port and press the Up Incline Key on left contact heart rate
grip. To skip exporting the data, press the Down Incline Key on the left
contact heart rate grip and the Workout Summary screen will display.
ADVANCED CONSOLE FUNCTIONS:
Entering Maintenance Mode:
Hold the Two Percent Incline Button (A) for approximately three seconds until
the unit beeps. Next, hold the Quick Start button (B) for approximately three
seconds until the unit beeps. When the Upper LED Display (C) reads
“Maintenance Mode”, press the Quick Start button (B) to enter Maintenance
Mode.
Maintenance Mode Navigation:
Maintenance Mode is divided into the following three categories: Diagnostics,
Calibration, and Configuration. Scroll through the categories shown in the
Upper LED Display (A) using the Up and Down Incline Keys on the left contact
heart rate grip. Press the Quick Start button (B) to select a category
Naviagte through the Diagnostics, Calibration, and Configuration submenus using the Up and Down Incline Keys on the left contact heart rate grip. Select a category shown in the Upper LED Display (A) using the Quick Start button (B). Update any category setting using the + and – Speed Keys on the right contact heart rate grip. Press the Quick Start button (B) to save any updated category settings (Note: Updated category settings will default to their original settings unless saved by pressing the Quick Start button). Exit any submenu by presssing the Stop button (C) once to return to the previous parent screen (Note: To exit Maintenance Mode, return to the Maintenance Mode parent screen and then hold the Stop button (C) for approximately three seconds or cycle the safety key position from engaged to disengaged.)

caution is not taken.
-
Calibration can take up to two minutes to complete.
-
Do not stand on the treadmill during the calibration procedure.
-
