The upper
display—This dis-
play can show the
elapsed time, the
distance that you
have pedaled, your
pedaling speed, and the approximate number of
calories you have burned.
Press the Display button repeatedly until the upper
display shows the information that you are most
interested in viewing. Note: While information is
shown in the upper display, the same information
will not be shown in the lower left or lower right dis-
play.
The lower
display—This dis-
play will show a
track representing
640 revolutions (1/4
mile or 400 meters).
As you exercise, indicators will appear in succes-
sion around the track until the entire track appears.
The track will then disappear and the indicators will
again begin to appear in succession.
To change the volume level of the console, press
the Vol increase and decrease buttons.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets
of clear plastic on
the metal con-
tacts on the
handgrip pulse
sensor, remove
the plastic. To
measure your
heart rate, hold the
handgrip pulse
sensor with your
palms resting
against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your
hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is
detected, a flashing
heart symbol will
appear in the dis-
play, and then your
heart rate will
appear. For the most accurate heart rate reading,
hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If
you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
the display will show your heart rate for up to 30
seconds.
If the display does not show your heart rate, make
sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
to squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal
performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-
cals to clean the contacts.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan has high and low speed settings. Press
the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan speed or
to turn off the fan.
Note: If the pedals do not move for about thirty
seconds, the fan will turn off automatically.
7. When you are finished using the elliptical
exerciser, the console will turn off
automatically.
