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.
**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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The exercise equipment can also play music wirelessly via Bluetooth. Turn on your mobile phone or tablet's Bluetooth function. Search for the name "Bt-speaker" in your device's Bluetooth menu. Tap to connect. Now your device can transmit music to the exercise equipment.
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload yourself and not the computer.
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.
The customizable User programs allow you to build and save your workout. You can build your custom program by following the instructions below.
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
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.
(OPTIONAL)
How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
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.
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:
If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
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
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.
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.
