For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note:
When you first hold the handgrips, the display will
show your heart rate continuously for 15 seconds.
The display will then show your heart rate along
with the other feedback modes.
When you are finished exercising, the console
6
will automatically turn off after a few minutes.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-
sole will automatically turn off to conserve the
batteries.
HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Turn on the console.
1
See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the six preset programs.
2
Each time the
console is turned
on, the manual
mode will be
selected. To
select a preset
program, press
the Program but-
ton repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
appears in the upper right corner of the display.
The profiles on the right side of the console show
how the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer
and the target pace will change during the pro-
grams. For example, profile number 3 shows that
during program 3, both the resistance and the tar-
get pace will gradually increase during the first
half of the program, and then decrease during the
last half.
Start the program.
3
To start the program, simply begin pedaling. Each
program consists of either twenty or thirty, one-
minute periods. One resistance setting and one
pace setting are programmed for each period.
(The same resistance setting and/or pace setting
may be programmed for consecutive periods.)
During the program, the resistance of the elliptical
crosstrainer will automatically change as shown
by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur-
rent resistance level is too high or too low, you
can change the resistance level by pressing the +
and – buttons. However, when the current period
of the program is completed, the resistance level
will automatically change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next period.
The target pace
settings for the
program will be
shown by the
right pace indica-
tor in the display.
(The left indicator
will show your
actual pedaling pace.) As the right indicator
changes in height during the program, simply
adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the
same height. If your pace is slower than the cur-
rent target pace, the increase arrow will appear in
the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if
your pace is faster than the target pace, the
decrease arrow will appear. Important: The tar-
get pace settings for the program are intended
only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may
be slower than the target pace settings, espe-
cially during the first few months of your exer-
cise program. Make sure to pedal at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
During the program, the display will show the time
remaining in the program. If you continue ped-
alling after the program is completed, the display
will continue to show your exercise feedback.
