X-Mode; Glutekicker - Octane Fitness Q47e Operation Manual

X-Mode

Using X-Mode is like having a personal trainer coaching you. It is a great way to take advantage of the variety
your elliptical cross trainer offers, and is a great motivational tool that keeps your workout fresh and exciting.
The X-Mode feature works in any program; simply push the button to activate. X-Mode offers eight different
challenges: Squat, Fast, Push-Arms, Pull-Arms, Lean Back, Slow, Reverse, and Lower Body Only.

reverse
lower Body Only
When X-Mode is active, one to four X-Mode LED combinations will light up instructing you what to do. The light
sequence is randomly generated so you never know what is coming next.
To activate X-Mode, simply push the X-Mode button while in any program. To turn X-Mode off, push the button
again. In its original (out-of-the-box) configuration, each X-Mode session lasts for one minute. The countdown
time displays how much time until your next X-Mode interval or how much time is left in your X-Mode interval.
Once you complete the instruction, you have a two minute period where you do your normal elliptical routine
(according to the program you are using). After this two minute period, you will automatically get your next
X-Mode routine. Good luck!
Tip: Want to increase or decrease the length of your X-Mode intervals? Just press and hold the X-Mode button
for three seconds, or until you hear a beep. You can then set the time for X-Mode to be "On" and "Off". See
page 32 for additional details!
