FUNCTIONS 

Console Operation 

 

Quick Start 

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key 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 or Down buttons. The dot matrix display will show only the bottom row lit at 
first. As you increase the workload, more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical will get harder to pedal as 
the rows increase. The dot matrix has 20 columns of lights and each column represents 1 minute. At the end of the 20

th

 column 

(or 20 minutes of work) the display will wrap around and start at the first column again.  
 
There are 40 levels of resistance 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. 
 

Basic information 

The Dot Matrix, or Profile window, has two display modes. When you begin a program the dot matrix will display the 
workout Profile. To the left of the dot matrix there is a button labeled Display. Pressing this button once will switch the 
display to show a quarter mile track. If the Display button is pressed again the dot matrix will switch back and forth between 
Track and Profile mode every few seconds. To turn off the scan mode press the Display key again. This will return you to the 
profile display mode. 
 
The Message Window will initially be displaying Time and Distance information. On the bottom left of the message window 
is a button labeled Display. Each time this Display button is pressed the next set of information will appear, four windows in 
all. In order: Time and Distance, Pulse and Calories, Speed in RPM and MPH, Work Level and Watts. If the Display button is 
pressed during the Level and Watts display the Scan light will come on and the message window will show each set of data for 
four seconds then switch to the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the Display button again will bring you back to 
the beginning. 
 
To the right of the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar Graph. The XE850 Series Elliptical has a built in heart rate 
monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors on the stationary handle bars, or wearing a chest strap heart rate 
transmitter, will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Message Window will display your heart 
rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute. The Bar Graph represents the percentage of your maximum heart rate you are currently 
achieving. NOTE: You must enter your age for the Bar Graph to be accurate. Refer to Heart Rate section for details about 
these features and how they can help you work out more efficiently.  
  
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset 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/Reset button is 
pressed twice during a workout the program will end and the console will return to the start up screen. If the Stop/Reset key is 
held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop/Reset key 
performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the 
Stop/Reset key. 
 
The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you may press each program key to 
preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you want to try a program, press the corresponding program 
key and then press the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode. 
 
The program keys also act as a Number Key Pad when you are in the data-setting mode. Under each program key is a 
number. If you are setting new data, such as Age, weight etc., you can use these keys to enter the numbers quickly. 
 
The consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, flip the switch on the right side of the console 
case. 
 

Programming the console

 

Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of the 
information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering 
your Age ensures that the Heart Rate bar graph shows the correct number. Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate 
control programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high 
or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an 
exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
