HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT
1.
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
The elliptical requires no batteries
or external
power source.
Power is supplied
by a genera-
tor while you are pedaling.
To activate the
console, begin pedaling at a moderate pace, After
a few seconds, the console displays will light. A
tone will then sound and the console will be ready
for use.
2.
Select
a preset
workout.
To select a preset
workout, press one
of the Aerobic,
Performance, or
Endurance buttons.
When you select a
preset workout, the
indicator on the button will light.
The length of the workout, the maximum pace, and
the maximum resistance level will appear in the
displays and a profile of the resistance levels of the
workout will appear in the matrix.
3.
Start the workout.
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to start the
workout.
Each workout is divided into either 20 or 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
pace are programmed for each segment. Note:
The same resistance setting and/or target pace
may be programmed for consecutive segments.
During the workout,
the workout profile
will show your
progress. The flash-
ing segment of the
profile represents
the current segment
of the workout. The height of the flashing segment
indicates the resistance level for the current seg-
ment.
At the end of each segment of the workout, a
series of tones will sound and the next segment of
the profile will begin to flash. If a different resis-
tance level is programmed for the next segment,
the resistance level will appear in the display for a
few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the
pedals will then change.
As you exercise, you will also be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target pace for the
current segment. When a TOO SLOW indicator
lights, increase your pace. When a TOO FAST
indicator lights, decrease your pace. When the
center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

The target pace settings

intended only to provide

Make sure
to pedal at a pace that is comfortable
for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is too
high or too low, you can manually override the set-
ting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
However, when the current segment ends, the
pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance
level for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the workout
ends.
