Resetting Your SOLE F89 Treadmill

Resetting your treadmill helps clear any software bugs and restores the machine to its default settings. Here’s how you can do it:

Step-by-Step Reset Instructions

• Turn off the treadmill and unplug it from the power source.
• Wait for about 30 seconds to ensure all residual power is discharged.
• Plug the treadmill back in and turn it on.
• Press and hold the "Stop" and "Speed +" buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds.
• Release the buttons when the console displays "Reset." Your treadmill is now reset.

This can resolve many common issues, but if problems persist, it may be time to calibrate the machine.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not waiting long enough before plugging the treadmill back in
• Forgetting to press the "Stop" and "Speed +" buttons simultaneously
• Ignoring persistent issues that may require professional assistance

Always follow the instructions carefully and consult your user manual if you're unsure about any step.

Calibrating Your SOLE F89 Treadmill

Without proper calibration, you may experience issues such as incorrect speed or incline settings, which can affect your workout's effectiveness. Calibration helps the treadmill's internal systems align with the physical components.

Calibration can also prolong the lifespan of your treadmill. When your machine is in optimal condition, you reduce the wear and tear on its components—which means fewer repairs and replacements over time.

Also, an improperly calibrated treadmill can behave unpredictably, increasing the risk of injury—so keep it calibrated for a safe workout.

Step-by-Step Calibration Guide

• Remove the safety key.
• Press and hold the "Speed +" and "Start" buttons simultaneously while inserting the safety key.
• Release the buttons once the display shows "Calibration Mode."
• Press the "Start" button to begin the calibration process.
• The treadmill will automatically adjust the incline and speed settings. Don’t stand on the treadmill and allow it to complete the process without interruption.
• Once calibration is complete, the display will show "Calibration Successful."

Your treadmill is now calibrated and ready for use. If you encounter any issues during the process, refer to your user manual or contact SOLE customer support for assistance.

If your treadmill's speed is inconsistent or unresponsive, try the following steps:

• Check the power source to ensure the treadmill is properly plugged in.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, it may be a sign of a more serious problem that requires professional repair.
