XG400 Elliptical

14

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 or Down buttons. 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 will get harder to pedal 
as the rows increase. 
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 5 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 16-20 are extremely hard and are good 
for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.

QUICK START

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

 button again will bring you back to 

the beginning. 
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 the console will display your  
Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps).  If the 

Stop

 key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program, the 

console will perform a complete 

Reset

. During data entry for a program the 

Stop

 

key performs a 

Previous

 

Screen or segment 

function. This allows you to go back 

to change programming data.
