QUICK START 

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the 

Start

 button 

to begin. This will initiate the 

Quick Start

 mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero, all 

workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the

 Up

 and 

Down 

buttons. The dot matrix display will show just the bottom row lit. As you increase the workload 

more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical trainer will get harder to pedal as the 

rows increase. The dot matrix has 24 columns of lights and each column represents 1 minute. At the 

end of the 24th column (or 24 minutes of work) the display will wrap around and start at the first 

column again.

There are 40 levels of resistance – displayed as 10 rows of lights – available for plenty of variety. 

The first 10 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set to a good 

progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 10-20 are more challenging but the increases from one 

level to the next remain small. Levels 20-30 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. 

Levels 30-40 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
