indicating your progress as it travels around the track.
BASIC INFORMATION
The
Message Window
will initially display
Laps
completed for the elliptical. Each time
the
Display
button is pressed the next set of information will appear. The order of
information displayed on : will be
Speed
(in KPH),
Level, Watts, Segment Time

Data Scan
mode. In

The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the
Contact
Heart Rate Sensors
on the stationary handle bars or wearing the chest strap transmitter
will start the heart icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The
Pulse Window
will
display your heart rate in beats per minute and the HR bar graph will show your current
% in relation to projected heart rate maximum. The chest strap is a more accurate and
reliable
method of heart rate reading. The hand pulse sensors are subject to false
readings depending
on user physiology and workout habits including how one grips the
sensors or how sweaty their
hands are.
The
Stop
button actually has several functions.
Pressing the
Stop
key once during a program will
Pause
the
program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the
phone or any of the many things that could interrupt your
workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout during
Pause
just press the
Start
key. If the
Stop
button is pressed
twice during a workout the program will end and a
Workout
Summary
is displayed.
If the
Stop
key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete
Reset
.
During data entry for a program the
Stop
key performs a
Previous Screen
function. This
allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the
Stop
key.
