ESCRIPTIONS
This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the console. See Section 4, titled
The Workouts
, for
detailed information on using the console to set up workouts.
A
START: Press this key to activate the console for programming a new workout. The activated console lights up and displays
“SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds and the user stops pedaling, the console
shuts down again.
NOTE: The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer’s AutoStart feature also activates the console when the user steps on the pedals and
begins pedaling.
B
ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console display messages.
C
NUMERIC keypad: Use these keys to enter values, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate*, and intensity level.
While a workout is in progress, numeric keys can be used to set new intensity levels or change the target heart rate* in the
FAT
BURN
,
CARDIO
,
HEART RATE HILL
,
HEART RATE INTERVAL
, and
EXTREME HEART RATE
workouts. The ARROW keys
have a similar function, except that they change workout parameters by single increments.
D
ARROW keys: A pair of UP and DOWN arrows is located on either side of the TIME/LEVEL window. When setting up a workout,
use either set of arrows to change workout parameters displayed on the console, such as length of workout, weight, age, target
heart rate*, and intensity level. During a workout, pressing the ARROWS on the right (LEVEL) side of display changes the target
heart rate for
FAT BURN
,
CARDIO
,
HEART RATE HILL
,
HEART RATE INTERVAL
, and
EXTREME HEART RATE
workouts or
the intensity level for other workouts.
Pressing the ARROWS on the left (TIME) side increases or decreases the workout duration. Pressing the arrows on the right
(LEVEL) side increases or decreases the intensity level.
NOTE: Whenever an arrow key is pressed during a workout, an increase (up arrow key) or decrease (down arrow key) is made
to the corresponding parameter (level). The number that appears reflects that change. For example, if the user is at level 6 and
presses the right up arrow key, the number 7 will appear, reflecting that the user has chosen a new level. If the change is desired,
press Enter to accept. If the change is not desired, the user has ten seconds to reset the level to the desired parameter, before
the unit accepts the changed value and makes the appropriate adjustments.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO workout is 144. This workout
targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
