Before you start
Keep this page open on your phone while you work on the treadmill.
Plan on about 5 minutes once the treadmill screen is fully loaded.

1
Enter privileged mode
Use this same privileged mode flow for first-time installation, updates, and uninstalling NordicFTMS.
Turn on the treadmill and let the tablet boot normally.
Wait until the treadmill screen is fully loaded.
Find a blank area somewhere in the upper-left corner with no button, icon, or image on top of it.
Tap that exact same spot 10 times.
Wait 7 seconds.
Tap the same spot 10 more times.
A popup should appear showing a six-digit number and asking you to enter a code.
Helpful note: If nothing happens, return to a screen with a blank spot near the upper-left corner and try again in a slightly different area.

Install NordicFTMS
Use the code tool below, unlock the Android desktop, and install NordicFTMS from the treadmill browser.
After entering the generated code on the treadmill, you should be taken to the tablet desktop.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the app drawer.
Open Browser.
In the browser, go to https://powertread.fit/nordicftms.
The NordicFTMS APK should download automatically.
Tap the downloaded file to run the application.
If Android asks you to confirm the install, allow it and continue.
NordicFTMS should launch in the background and then return you to the treadmill app automatically.
Open this exact address on the treadmill:https://powertread.fit/nordicftms
Helpful note: Once NordicFTMS is installed, you should not need to repeat these steps unless the treadmill is reset or you are installing an update.
3
Verify Bluetooth pairing
After installation, the treadmill should behave like a standard FTMS Bluetooth treadmill.
Open PowerTread or another FTMS-compatible app on your phone or tablet.
Start scanning for nearby treadmills.
Confirm that the treadmill appears as NordicFTMS on the pairing screen.
Pair it and verify that it behaves like a normal FTMS Bluetooth peripheral.
Helpful note: If NordicFTMS does not appear immediately, wait 10 to 15 seconds and scan again. A reboot of the treadmill can also help after the initial install.
