When you are done using the treadmill the display does not turn off. How do you shut the machine off? Do you just flip the power switch on the front?

Yes, but for some reason is recomended to unplug the machine when is not in use.

Hi Hazel -- I wonder if you ever resolved this problem. I have been using this treadmill for a few months now and loving it but today it started making a clunking sound when belt running. I found the user manual online but there is no mention of the problem. You call it 'clicking' I call it 'clunking' but I think we could both be having the same problem, so am wondering if you ever resolved this. Any advice you might have would be much appreciated.

There is a button on the iron that allows you to shut it off without unpluging. It's the same button that turns it on.

There is a little booklet that comes with the BC 1009 and I don't recall instructions on how to turn the unit off. You would think there would be a button to do that job but like my digital watch the only way you can turn it off is to remove the battery. Wish I had a better answer. Sorry.

Press the Plasma button on the front display to turn off/on the plasma generator

If you are working out and press "stop", your time, miles, etc will keep on for about 5 minutes, then it will reset itself to the select screen. I usually turn it off completely.

Hi Jennifer, we just bought this treadmill, arrived today and discovered the exact same issue (missing ground wire in the console itself). Were you able to fix this issue through customer service? Did they send you a new console? I've tried to call them but it is Saturday and it is closed. Thanks.

It has a standard safety clip/failsafe device that will stop the treadmill will pulled (assuming you actually attach it to yourself). Also, if you step off the treadmill for more than about 10 seconds and it doesn't sense any footsteps, it shuts off. I guess that's a safety feature of sorts.

I just leave mine on. There really is no on/off switch... so you would have to unplug it. Had mine more than a year....still working great. Hope this helps you.

With lights etc away from you there are two buttons the one on the left turns it on and off (you have to hold it down for a while mine works only with the monitor flipped down) the right is sort of an "enter" key, use to set items in menu, with menu off it is like the mode button. In the menu, change motion detection off and the unit will stay on all the time till you turn it off) The battery I got will not charge to the third bar, doesn't last long and I can not find a battery anywhere to replace it.

I've used mine for 20 minutes, only once or twice a day and haven't had any problems. But I'm not an exercise buff. I would never use it to replace an hour on a treadmill. I think the tension that you set it on might have something to do with breakage. I use it gently as opposed to really "running" on it. So far it works well.

Yes, it could be left off but it wouldn't be practical. It contains a magnetic sensor for the safety kill switch. That would have to be bypassed to use the treadmill.

What you mean by turning it off? My problem is that the cash register does not open

I have thrown away this treadmill. It generated a loud noise after less than one year usage. The company refused to fix my problem. Sorry that I am of no help here.

We have had ours for just over a year now. It is working perfectly, but the display is still scrolling as it did on day one. We have never figured out how to turn it off either.

I leave it on all the time... you have a remote which let's you toggle the darker effect on and off easily or raise and lower the amount. It's a simple circuit board design and it probably doesn't use a few dollars a year in electricity. If you unplug it, it won't pass thru to your display. Just leave it on... love mine and wouldn't give it up...

It doesn't turn off. But I'm pretty sure it's just using solar power to run the display when you aren't using it because the batteries never run out. I mean ever. I've had one of these for like 3 years and I haven't replaced the batteries.
