OPERATION OF YOUR DEVICE

GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTROL PANEL

POWER UP

When power is connected to the elliptical, the console will automatically power up. This model is connected directly to 115 VAC and there is a power switch located where the line cord plugs into the unit on the left side near the front.

When it is first powered on, the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on, the Message Window display will show a software version (i.e.: VER 1.0), and the Distance Window will display an odometer reading. The odometer shows how many virtual miles the elliptical has gone. The Time Window shows how many total hours the elliptical has been used.

The odometer and time will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the startup display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through different workout profiles and the Message Window will be scrolling the start-up message. You may now begin to use the console.

CONSOLE OPERATION

**ATTENTION**
SLEEP MODE Your console comes in "Sleep mode" with different features by choice:
ON The unit goes energy-saving state after 15 minutes of inactivity.
OFF The console will stay lit while the power is on.
On LCDs, press and hold the Stop, Enter, and Display keys for 5 seconds to turn ON or OFF the Sleep mode.

START KEY

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up, just press the Start key to begin. This will initiate the Start key mode. In the Start key, the time will count up from zero. The resistance level and incline can be adjusted manually by pressing the Level & incline buttons. The dot matrix display will show a track with a blinking dot indicating your progress as it travels around the track.

BASIC INFORMATION

The Message Window will initially display Laps completed. Each time the Display button is pressed, the next set of information will appear. The order of information displayed will be Speed (in MPH), RPM (Revolutions per minute), Level, Watts, Segment Time and Data Scan mode. In Data Scan mode, the displayed information will change every 4 seconds in the Message Window.

The Elliptical has a built-in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasp the Contact Heart Rate Sensors on the stationary handlebars or wear the chest strap transmitter and the heart icon will start blinking (see Heart Rate Programs). This may take a few seconds. The Pulse Window will display your heart rate in beats per minute and the HR bar graph will show your current % of the projected heart rate maximum. The chest strap is a more accurate and reliable method of heart rate reading. The hand pulse sensors are subject to false readings depending on user physiology and workout habits including how one grips the sensors or how sweaty their hands are.

The Stop button has several functions.
Pressing the Stop 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 during Pause, just press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout the program will end and a Workout Summary will be displayed.

If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds, the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program, the Stop key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop key.

PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE

Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs.
Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate control program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program; entering your Weight aids in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.

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 accurately measure your calorie burn 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.

ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS

Press each program button to scroll through the program selections. The profile for each program will be displayed in the dot matrix window. This model will also show the incline profile when the Display key is pressed. Press the Enter key to select a program and begin customizing the settings. If you want to work without entering new settings, 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 settings will be used.

Note: Age and Weigthe ht 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 Age and Weight for the first time, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either Age or Weight has changed or if someone else enters a different Age and Weight.

PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES

MANUAL PROGRAM

The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload yourself and not the computer.

1. Press the Manual program button then press the Enter key.
   
2. The Message Window will ask you to enter your Age. You may adjust the age setting using the Level keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust your weight setting using the Level keys, then press Enter to continue.
4. Next is the Time. You may adjust the length of Time by pressing the Level keys, then 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 Stop key to go back to one level of the programming screen.
6. Once the program starts the elliptical will be set to 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 workload at any time press the Level ▲ key; the Level ▼ key will decrease the workload.
   
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the Message Window by pressing the Display key.
8. When the program ends the Message Window will show a summary of your workout. The summary will be displayed for a short time then the console will return to the startup display.

PRESET PROGRAMS

The Elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.

Hill
The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program.

Fat Burn
The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.

Cardio
The Cardio program is designed to increase your cardiovascular function and endurance. This is an exercise for your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity. This is achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in work.

Strength
The Strength program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This program will steadily increase in resistance to a high level and force you to sustain it. This is designed to strengthen and tone your legs and glutes (muscles of the butt).

HIIT
The HIIT program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity. This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently this way. This program also forces your body to become more efficient due to spikes in heart rate, between recovery periods. This aids in heart rate recovery from intense activities.

HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate:
The old motto, "no pain, no gain", is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity is either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage of your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardiovascular system.
This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.

For someone who is 40 years old, their target heart rate zone is calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x.6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)
180 X.8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)

So for a 40-year-old, the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats per minute.

If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines' goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.

With all SOLE Heart Rate elliptical machines, you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate program. This function can be used during manual mode or any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate program automatically controls resistance to the pedals.

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION
Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should work than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things.
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also known as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel or the perception of your effort.

The scale is as follows:
Rating Perception of Effort

6. Minimal
7. Very, very light
8. Very, very light +
9. Very light
10. Very light +
11. Fairly light
12. Comfortable
13. Somewhat hard
14. Somewhat hard +
15. Hard
16. Hard +
17. Very hard
18. Very hard +
19. Very, very hard
20. Maximal

You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example, a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending on the factors discussed earlier. That is the major benefit of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you can train harder and the RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.

USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER

(OPTIONAL)
How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:

1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the SOLE logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
   
4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heartbeat electrical signals.
   However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It's also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your workout. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After "warming up", this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn't affect performance.
   
6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.

Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user's heart. Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.

ERRATIC OPERATION

Do not use this elliptical for Heart Rate unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.

Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:

1. Microwave ovens, TV's, small appliances, etc.
2. Fluorescent lights.
3. Some household security systems.
4. Perimeter fence for a pet.
5. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the SOLE logo is right side up.
6. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.

To check if your Garmin device can be used for heart rate transmission, please refer to the list of supported devices provided on www.soletreadmills.com

HEART RATE PROGRAM OPERATION

Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that the default for HR1 is set to 60% and HR2 is set to 80% of the maximum heart rate. They both are programmed the same way.

To start an HR program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1 or HR2 program, then press the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Window.

1. Press the HR1 or HR2 key, then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Window will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Level keys or the numeric keypad, 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 Level keys or the numeric keypad, then press Enter to continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press Enter to continue.
5. Now you are asked to adjust your Target Heart Rate. This is the heart rate level you will strive to reach and maintain during the program. Adjust the level and then press Enter.
6. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing theStart 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 to one level, or screen.
7. If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during the program press the Level keys. This will allow you to change your Target Heart Rate at any time during the program.
8. During the HR1 or HR2 programs you will be able to scroll through the data in the Message Window by pressing the adjacent Display key.
9. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to exit the program.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.
2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons:
   1. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware or the rear rails being dirty.
   2. Dirt build-up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise. Noise from build-up on the rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is coming from inside the main body of the machine because noise travels, and is amplified in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint-free cloth and rubbing alcohol. Stubborn build-up can be removed with your thumbnail or a non-metallic scraper, like the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a small amount of lubricant on the rails with your fingers or an Iint-free cloth. You only need a thin coat of Iubrication, to wipe off any excess.

If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly levelled before calling the service department.

MAINTENANCE MENU IN CONSOLE SOFTWARE
The console has built-in maintenance/diagnostic software. The software will allow you to change the console settings from English to Metric and turn off the beeping of the speaker when a key is pressed for example. To enter the Maintenance Menu (which may be called Engineering Mode, depending on the version) press and hold down the Start, Stop and Enter keys keep holding the keys down for about 5 seconds and the Message Window will display "Engineering Mode". Press the Enter button to access the menu below. Press the Level 5/6 keys to navigate the menu.

1. Key Test – This will allow you to test all the keys to make sure they are functioning
2. Display Test - Automatically tests all LCD's

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this equipment.

To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your SOLE elliptical from the electrical outlet before cleaning and/or service work.

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the elliptical on a flat level surface with access to a 115-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet with only the elliptical plugged into the circuit.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE GROUNDED PLUG BY USING IMPROPER ADAPTERS, OR IN ANY WAY MODIFY THE CORD SET.

A serious shock or fire hazard may result along with computer malfunctions. See Grounding Instructions.

• Do not operate elliptical on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and elliptical may result.
• Keep children under the age of 13 away from this machine. There are obvious pinch points and other caution areas that can cause harm.
• Keep hands away from all moving parts.
• Never operate the elliptical if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the elliptical is not working properly, call your dealer.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous environment.
• Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
• Do not use outdoors.
• To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position and then remove the plug from the outlet.
• Do not attempt to use your elliptical for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.
• The hand pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.
• Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable for use on your elliptical. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.
• This equipment is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the equipment by a person responsible for their safety.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS

NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting the AC power.
If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your elliptical may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this elliptical to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high-humidity environment. The operating temperature specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95% non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If the elliptical should malfunction or break, ground- ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded by all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (shown below) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-coloured rigid ear-lug, or the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

IMPORTANT OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

• NEVER operate this elliptical without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer.
• Understand that changes in resistance and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired resistance level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• NEVER use your elliptical during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that could damage elliptical components. Unplug the elliptical during an electrical storm as a precaution.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while using your elliptical; such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance; which may result in serious injury.
• Always hold on to a handlebar while making control changes (incline, level, etc.).
• Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little finger pressure. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure contact your SOLE dealer.
