CONSOLE OPERATION

1)

  

Turn on Elliptical.

2)

  

Press 

START

 button and begin exercising.

)

 

 Program will automatically default to 

MANUAL

, the time will count up from 0:00, and the 

resistance will default to level 1.

)

  

The resistance level can be adjusted during the workout.

QUICK START

PULSE GRIPS

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your 

heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When 

gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. 

Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse 

handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

IMPORTANT:

  The  heart  rate  function  on  this  product  is  not  a  medical  device.  While  heart  rate  grips  can 

provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are 

necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart 

rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect 

the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining 

heart rate trends in general.  Please consult your physician.
