Console Operation
Quick Start Mode
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the
Start key to begin. In Quick Start the time will count up from zero and the Resistance and
Incline may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up/Down keys. The dot matrix dis-
play will show ½ of the Resistance profile on each side of the Heart Rate Profile. If you press
the Start button during a program, the dot matrix will switch to the Incline profile (segments
are shown the same way as the Resistance profile). If you press the Start button once more,
the Lap track is shown, which is ¼ mile in length. Pressing the Enter key will switch the data
displayed in the Message Window. Initially, the Message Window shows the program name.
Each time the Enter button is pressed the data will change to the following: Speed, Watts,
Laps, Altitude (elevation gain), Current Level/Max Level, Scan, and repeat sequence. To the
right of the dot matrix is a number that indicates your Resistance level. To the left is a number
that indicates your elevation.
Basic Information and Functions:
Data Displayed
:
Calories show an accumulation of calories burned (Kcal). The number shown is just an
estimate; your actual calorie burn most likely will be different. The only way to get an
accurate calorie reading is in a laboratory setting connected to a host of machines.
Time shows elapsed time unless you set the timer to count down.
Seg Time counts down the time left in the current segment (column) of the profile.
Pulse indicates your heart rate if you are grasping the hand pulse sensors.
RPM displays your pedaling speed in revolutions per minute.
Speed shows your speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour if ‘Km’ is displayed.
Incline/Ramp Shows incline level from 1 to 20.
Distance displays accumulated mileage.
The elliptical has a built in Heart Rate Monitoring System. Simply grasping the hand pulse
sensors on the stationary handlebars or by wearing the chest strap will start the heart icon
blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate,
or pulse, in beats per minute.
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 after pausing just press the Start key. If the Stop/Reset button is
pressed twice during a
workout, the program will end and a summary of your workout will be
displayed. If the Stop/Reset key is held down for 3 seconds, the console will perform a
complete reset.
There is an Audio Input Jack on the front of the console, and built-in speakers. You may plug
any low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include: MP3 player, iPod,
portable radio, CD player or even a TV or computer.
