HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE
The elliptical exerciser requires no batteries or
external power source.
Power is supplied by a gen-
erator as you pedal. To turn on the console, begin
pedaling at a speed of about 25 revolutions per minute
or faster. After a few seconds, the console display will
light and the console will be ready for use.
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical exerciser has been
exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to
room temperature before turning on the console. If
you do not do this, the console displays or other
electronic components may become damaged.
HOW TO USE THE QUICK START MODE
If you do not plan to use a program, the quick start
mode will allow you to simply start exercising and
adjust the resistance of the pedals manually.
1. Begin pedaling to activate the console.
When you activate the console, the display will
light and the console will be ready for use.
2. Select the quick start mode.
When you activate the console, the quick start
mode will be selected. If you have selected a pro-
gram, reselect the quick start mode by pressing
any of the QUICKTOUCH PROGRAMS buttons
repeatedly until zeros appear in the display.
3. Press the START button to start the quick start
mode and change the resistance of the pedals
as desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals
by pressing the RESISTANCE increase and
decrease buttons or the numbered QUICKTOUCH
RESISTANCE buttons. There are sixteen resis-
tance levels. Note: After you press a RESIS-
TANCE button, it will take a moment for the pedals
to reach the selected resistance level.
4. Follow your progress with the displays.
The display will show the elapsed time and the
distance you have pedaled. Note: When a preset
program or the MANUAL TIME program is
selected, the display will show the time remaining
in the program instead of the elapsed time.
The display will also show your heart rate (in beats
per minute) when you use the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 18).
You can also view selected information at a larger
size. Press the DISPLAY button repeatedly to view
the elapsed time, the distance that you have ped-
aled, or the approximate number of calories that
you have burned.
To view the elapsed time, your exercise intensity in
mets, the approximate number of calories you
have burned, the distance, the resistance level,
the approximate number of calories you are burn-
ing per hour, and your pedaling pace in one dis-
play, press the DISPLAY button again.
To view the elapsed time, the distance you have
pedaled, and the approximate number of calories
you have burned in one display, press the DIS-
PLAY button again.
To again view the elapsed time and the distance
that you have pedaled, press the DISPLAY button
again.
Press the PAUSE button to pause the quick start
mode at any time. Simply resume pedaling or
press the START button to restart the quick start
mode.
Note: The display may be able to display text mes-
sages in any of six languages (see step 5 on page
17).
5. When you are finished using the elliptical exer-
ciser, the console will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes, the
displays will be reset and the console will turn off
automatically.
