Frequently Asked Questions - SM-700 LifeSpan

How do I assemble the treadmill?

The treadmill comes partially assembled. Attach the upright tubes and console with the included bolts. Refer to the manual's assembly section for step-by-step instructions. Ensure all bolts are tightened before use.

How to pair Bluetooth with the LifeSpan app?

Download the LifeSpan app, enable Bluetooth on your device, and step on the treadmill. The console will appear in the app. Select it to pair. If not found, ensure the treadmill is powered on and within 10 feet.

Why does the treadmill stop unexpectedly?

Common causes: safety key dislodged, overloaded motor (check weight limit), or low power supply. Verify the safety key is fully inserted and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If error codes appear, refer to the manual.

What does error code E1 mean?

Error code E1 indicates a motor overload. Reduce the weight or speed, and allow the motor to cool. If persists, check for obstruction in the belt or motor area. Contact LifeSpan support if needed.

Turn off and unplug the treadmill. Lift the belt edges and apply silicone-based lubricant to the deck. Run the treadmill at 1 mph for 2 minutes to distribute. Repeat every 3 months.

What is the maximum weight limit?

The maximum user weight is 300 lbs. Exceeding this may cause motor damage and void the warranty.

Can I use the treadmill without the safety key?

No, the safety key is a mandatory safety feature. The treadmill will not start without it. Always attach the clip to your clothing.

Why is the treadmill not powering on?

Check the power cord is plugged into a functioning outlet. Ensure the safety key is inserted. Try resetting the circuit breaker on the back of the motor hood. If still off, contact support.

How to fold and store the treadmill?

Unplug the treadmill. Lift the deck until the locking latch engages. Ensure the latch is secure. Store upright in a dry area. To unfold, release the latch and lower carefully.

VIII. EXERCISE GUIDE

! PLEASE NOTE:

Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.

So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.

Four sequential line drawings of a person performing a stretching or martial arts pose, no text or symbols present.

WARM UP

Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.

After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.

COOL DOWN

Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up and cool down for a few minutes.

X. HAND PULSE TECHNOLOGY

This product comes equipped with hand pulse sensors which are used to pick up tiny EKG/ECG signals that run through the body when your heart beats. These electrical EKG/ECG signals are very small and that they must be amplified 1000 times to make the signal useful for the computer to display your pulse.

To ensure proper operation:

• The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four sensors.
• The users skin cannot be too dry or too wet.

Other factors that could affect the reading:

• Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace walking and up to running).
• Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical signals.
• Static electricity charges from the air or from walking on the treadmill.

EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and "Noise" factors that may affect the reading. This will cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the heart rate changes. Too much noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no electrical signal in the hands are other factors that may affect pulse readings as well.

These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can cost upwards of \$3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient in a hospital is not running on a treadmill. Hand pulse technology works well on stationary exercise machines like bikes and even elliptical cross trainers but are not perfect on a treadmill. We offer treadmills with a wireless heart rate receiver which may be a more accurate option.

To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while standing on the sidestep rails, not walking, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will eliminate the movement and static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly (saliva works as a great conductor if this doesn't bother you).
