Where to find a safety key for TX1 kettler treadmill

If your Kettler Marathon ST treadmill is stuck at the blinking HR (heart rate) screen and is unresponsive to button presses, here are a few suggestions you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the safety key: Ensure that the safety key is properly inserted into the console. The treadmill may not respond if the safety key is not properly engaged.
2. Reset the treadmill: Locate the power switch or unplug the treadmill from the power source. Leave it unplugged for a few minutes to allow the internal electronics to reset. Then, plug it back in or turn the power switch back on. This can sometimes resolve temporary glitches or errors.
3. Inspect the console connections: Open the console cover and check the connections between the console and the rest of the treadmill. Make sure all cables and connectors are securely plugged in. Loose or disconnected cables can cause communication issues and affect the functionality of the console.
4. Clean the console buttons: Over time, dirt, dust, or debris can accumulate around the console buttons, preventing them from registering presses. Gently clean the buttons and the surrounding area using a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners that could damage the console.
5. Perform a console reset: Look for a small reset button or hole on the console. Using a paperclip or a similar object, press and hold the reset button for a few seconds. This will perform a console reset, which may resolve certain software or configuration issues.
6. Consult the user manual: Refer to the user manual or documentation that came with your Kettler Marathon ST treadmill. Look for specific troubleshooting steps or contact information for technical support.

Try removing the key and reinsert it.

The KETTLER treadmill has an emergency stop mechanism for
your safety. Before starting your workout, fasten the cord of the
safety key to your clothing. If the treadmill has been shut down
by removing the safety key, restart it by reinserting the key. An
automatic restart of the treadmill belt does not occur. Further
instructions concerning the handling of the safety cut-out can be
found in the operating instructions for the training computer.
