Programming The Console - SOLE E55 Owner's Manual

right are for workload settings. When pressed, the Quick keys will allow you to jump directly to an
incline position or workload setting of 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15 instantly. This function is not shown on the
front panel so you need to try it out yourself to become familiar with its operation
The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors
on the stationary handle bars, or wearing the Polar heart rate transmitter, will start the Heart Icon
blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or
Pulse, in beats per minute.
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
programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work
settings could be too high or low for you. 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 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 an accelerated rate for at least an hour 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.
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 yourAge 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
workload 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.
