Console Operation
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key
to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and
the workload and Incline may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down buttons. The dot
matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the workload more rows will
light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical will get harder to pedal as the rows increase. When
you press the Incline buttons, the dot matrix display will switch to show the incline profile. There will
also be a blue LED light next to the matrix that is lit, indicating the Incline profile is being displayed.
You can press the "Display" button to scroll through the different matrix displays.
Basic information
The Message Window will initially be displaying Time and Distance information. On the bottom left
of the message window is a Display button. Each time this Display button is pressed the next set of
information will appear, four windows in all.
• Time and Distance
• Pulse and Calories (Kcal is shorthand for the standard measurement of nutritional calories)
• Speed in RPM and MPH
• Work Level and Watts (Watts is a measure of work. If the display reads 100 Watts, then you
are doing enough work to continuously light a 100 Watt light bulb.)
• Incline level
• Scan (If the Display button is pressed during the Level and Watts display the Scan light will
come on and the message window will show each set of data for four seconds then switch to
the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the Display button again will bring you back
to the beginning).
To the right of the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar graph that shows your heart rate as
a percent of maximum. The XE Series Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply
grasping the hand pulse sensors on the stationary handle bars, or wearing the heart rate
transmitter will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Message Window
will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute. The Bar Graph represents the
percentage of your maximum heart rate you are currently achieving. See page 22 for more
information about heart rate.
• NOTE: You must enter your age for the Bar Graph to be accurate. Refer to Heart Rate section
for details about these features and how they can help you work out more efficiently.
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset 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/Reset button is pressed twice during a workout
the program will end and the console will return to the start up screen. If the Stop/Reset key is held
down for 5 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the
Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the
programming each time you press the Stop/Reset key.
