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 and the workload may be
adjusted manually by pressing the
Level Up/Down
keys. The dot matrix
display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the work
load more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical trainer will
get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
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 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain
small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 30-40 are extremely
difficult and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
Basic Information
The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name. When in
scan mode during a program, speed will be displayed for four seconds, then
move on and display Watts (indication of workload). If 100 watts is displayed,
you are doing enough work to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The data
changes to Laps completed, Segment time, Max level. Pressing the
Enter
key
again will bring you back to the beginning.
