A message about Calories:
Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and
tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The
only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This
is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will
continue to burn calories at about the same rate as during exercise for 20-30 minutes after you have finished
exercising!
Entering/Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then enter key, you have the option of entering your
own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the Start key. This
will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your workout. If you want to change
the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the message window. If you start a program without
changing the settings the default, or saved, settings will be used.
The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 155 Lbs., Time = 30:00, Max Level, each program has a
different maximum work level: Hill = 7, Fatburn = 5, Cardio = 7, Strength = 8, Interval = 7.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age and Weight
entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the first time you use the
Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or Weight changes or
someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
Manual
The Manual program works as the name implies; manually. This means that you control the work load yourself
and not the computer. To start the Manual program follow the instructions below or just press the Manual
button then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message window.
1. Press the Manual key then press the Enter key.
2. The message window will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Up and Down
keys or the numeric key pad, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to
the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the Weight number using the Up and Down
keys or the numeric key pad, then press enter to continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.
5. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You
can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key. NOTE: At any time during the
editing of Data you can press the Stop key to go back one level, or screen.
6. Once the program starts you will be at level one. This is the easiest level and it is a good idea to stay
at level one for a while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load at any time press the Up
key; the Down key will decrease the work load.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message window by
pressing the adjacent Display key, switch between the profile display and a quarter mile track by
pressing the Display key adjacent to the matrix, use the heart rate monitoring features and can switch
to heart rate Auto-Pilot mode (See Heart Rate section for details of this feature).
8. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to exit the
program or you can save the program you just completed as a custom user program by pressing a
User key and following the instructions in the message window.
