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 work load 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 an icon showing the word Incline just above the profile. To switch back
to view the work profile, press the up or down workload keys.
