The treadmill has a “Cardiograph” heart rate monitor. The 2 hand-grip sensors are conveniently built in to the handlebars. When the handlebars are gripped the sensors provide feedback on the user’s heart rate via the color touch screen display.
… iPOD connection

In order to keep you entertained the treadmill comes with an “Intermix Acoustics 3.0″ sound system. Integrated into the treadmill’s console, this premium sound system features 3” high-excursion drivers to deliver a crisp, clear sound.

The sound system also includes a compatible music port for iPOD. This allows you to plug your iPOD, or MP3 Player, into the Interplay Music Port and listen to your music collection through the sound system. The iPOD rests on the console shelf, so that it is within easy reach.
… workout cooling fan

This treadmill has a “CoolAire” workout fan incorporated into the console. The fan has an automatic setting which when selected adjusts the airflow according to your workout speed.

Alternatively you can switch the fan to a manual setting and choose between low, medium and high speeds to help you stay cool and fresh during your workout.

.. safety key

The equipment comes with a safety key and lanyard. In order for the treadmill to be operational the key must be present in the control console. This means that with the key withdrawn the treadmill cannot be operated by unauthorized users such as small children.

The safety key has a lanyard with a small plastic clip attached to one end which can be clipped onto the users clothing. If the user were to accidentally trip or fall while on the treadmill the key is pulled away from the console causing the treadmill’s walking belt to slow to a stop.
