HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE
The included AC power adapter must be used to oper-
ate the elliptical strider. See HOW TO PLUG IN THE
AC POWER ADAPTER on page 6. When the AC
power adapter is plugged in, the displays will light and
the console will be ready for use.
IMPORTANT: If the console has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before activating the console. Otherwise,
you may damage the console displays or other
electronic components.
HOW TO TURN OFF THE CONSOLE
If the pedals are not moved for a short period of time,
the console will enter an idle mode and a screen
saver will appear in the center display. Unplug the AC
power adapter when the elliptical strider is not in use.
HOW TO USE THE QUICK START MODE
The quick start mode allows you to start exercising,
adjust the resistance of the pedals manually, and set a
target stride length manually.
1. Press the QUICK START button or begin strid-
ing to activate the console.
See HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE above.
2. Select the quick start mode.
When you activate the con-
sole, the quick start mode
will be selected. If you have
selected a workout, rese-
lect the quick start mode by
pressing any of the workout
buttons repeatedly until
zeros appear in the right
display.
3. Change the resistance of the pedals as
desired.
As you stride, change the
resistance of the pedals by
pressing the RESISTANCE
increase and decrease but-
tons. Note: After you press
a RESISTANCE button, it
will take a moment for the pedals to reach the
selected resistance level.
4. Set a target stride length as desired.
The stride length meter in the center display
allows you to set a target stride length.
To set a target stride length,
press the STRIDE LENGTH
increase and decrease but-
tons below the stride length
meter repeatedly until the
target bars appear next to
the desired stride length.
Note: Stride length is mea-
sured in inches.
5. Follow your progress with the displays.
Left display
–This display
shows the length of your
stride in inches. Note: When
you select a workout, this
display will also show the
workout profile and the
elapsed time for each seg-
ment of the workout.
Center display
–This display shows the stride
length meter. The stride length meter compares
your actual stride length to the target stride length.
The target bars in
the stride length
meter indicate the
target stride length.
The pedal blocks
track the actual
movement of the
pedals while you
exercise.
As you exercise, keep your stride length near the
target stride length by striding so that the pedal
blocks move back and forth between the target
bars.
