how does the spead system work on the Proform 505 CST Treadmill

You can adjust by one tenth of a mile per hour per click on a button manually, or use the preset workouts/ Incline works the same way, I love mine, its great

I am not sure. I tried it once and started to fast and was forced to run-no a good thing-and pushed stop. I have been using manual since. I do know that if you push the speed on the bar the machine goes there NOW. I use the arrows to ajust the speed. I think the best is just to start at basic speed and see where the program goes. The book does not explain the differences, just that they are pre set.

You can adjust the speed by pressing the large buttons on the panel with arrows for up and down. It has similar buttons for the incline. Speed 0 to 10 mph in tenths. Incline is 0 to 10 degrees in .5 increments.

There is a "quick speed" option, that allows you to select speeds by whole numbers, as well as an incremental speed button that allows you to up the speed a tenth a mile per hour at a time (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc.).

I would put a treadmill mat underneath it, and use it where you want. Try not to workout at 2am, but that's apartment life. The deliverer left it on my front porch. I used a dolly to get it in the house. It wasn't a big deal, but with steps, you will need help. ENJOY IT. I used it in my office at work, and now I have one at home.

That would be an interesting addition. If you are considering the Varidesk single (which I love) the the answer is it depends on how tall you are. There are 11 height settings with the Varidesk. The tallest setting(which I use) does overhang the edge of the desk by a few inches. I would suspect this might be the setting you would want anyway given the extra height of the treadmill (assuming you're going to use a standard height for a desk). The arms of the Varidesk unit swing up from the back so the lower settings are further back on the desk. Hope that helps.

Short Answer: Many button presses, several seconds Longer answer: Upon putting the key into the console, you have an opportunity to adjust your weight, which is optional. You can press the "start" button right away, which starts the treadmill at its lowest speed (0.4 mph, if I recall correctly). Each button press to increase the speed from that point increments by 0.1 mph, so for me, it's quite a few button presses to get up to 3.3mph, where I've been using it lately. I have heard that there's a firmware update that they're working on that may make this easier, but I don't put much stock in rumors of features.

Yes. Biggest problem I have with this treadmill, the safety key, treadmill fails to recognize it, won't start, frustrating !!!

I have ProForm Power 1080 Treadmill (2012 Model) and it doesn't have blue tooth. Following are the input interfaces 1. It was connected to my home network through WiFi, so I know it works. 2. It has audio input, but not regular, and 3. It also has USB (I couldn't recall whether it is 2.0 or 3.0)

There are direct up and down arrows for both speed and incline. Unlike cheaper treadmills they respond instantly on the display and are fast to change. Treadmill responds intentionally more slowly to protect motor and electronics for long life. It's a nice interface.

Here is a pDF doc that explains how this operates, what it does and does not do. It might be a good idea to check it out. I've had this system for years and it has worked beautifully. I know the company was bought out and things are different now, at least that what I was told. We'll see how that goes. Here's the PDF" http://www.authinx.com/manuals/X10/MT13A.pdf

I don't know. I defer to either your treadmill's manufacturer or a repair facility. My treadmill came with a paraffin cake stick, but it eventually broke. I have used this new stick only once, so I don't know what the long-range effect will be.

No, there are no pre-programmed profiles. In addition, when/if you pause the treadmill while you are using it, you must input the speed all over again. Other than this, this treadmill/desk is awesome and I would purchase it again in a heartbeat!

Yes, I signed up again in August and it has been working with my NordicTrack treadmill. I am not racing or using other pieces of the program so can't evaluate them, abd I haven't made my maps since the update, but for just the computer/treadmil/google earth piece it has been working fine.

Never used it with Pro-Form Crosswalk Fit, but I continue to use it regularly with my own treadmill. I love it! The fact that I can read the entire time I'm walking (normally 30-60 minutes) is wonderful. I get so involved in my book that I forget that I'm even on the treadmill! Because of having to keep my head steady for reading, I can only walk, not run. But I can do over 4 miles in an hour.

I have had the treadmill for several months and have had no problems at all. It is a big, solid machine. I rarely use the iFit function though.

This used to drive me nuts until I upped my walking speed to 2.3mph (which I believe is still below the maximum recommended NEAT threshold). Somewhere around that speed the treadmill gains enough momentum that the stops (still unavoidably every 30 minutes) are not jarring; you get in a few steps of deceleration that, for me, made all the difference. Now to spraypaint some yellow bands across the belt so I can easily perceive if it's running or not while working with earplugs.

I find this sensor to be about as accurate as anything I've ever used. It works on a treadmill, outside, running, walking, or any body movement. You can have it sitting in your pocket or tied to your belt (or even your bra) and get accurate step counts. The battery lasts about 6 months and the software for downloading is pretty easy. For the price, it is a great buy.

That's one of the drawbacks. It only tracks if you are actually moving your arms. On the treadmill, I will occasionally have the incline very steep and will hold on to the top of the machine. It does NOT track that movement. My arms have to be moving. I hope this helps!
