challenging yourself with a variety of pre-programmed workouts, managed by sophisticated electronics that keep 
you interested and motivated. Getting started is easy—just step on and start pedaling. Follow the Message 

Center prompts to program your workout, and you are on your way! 

USER SET-UP FUNCTIONS

Many of the standard features and controls of the LX8000 can be customized to fit your personal preferences or 
workout environment. In just a few simple steps, you can set up your machine to skip the Warm-Up, countdown 
your workout time (instead of counting up), limit the maximum workout time, and display units in English or metric. 
You can also mute the console beeps and adjust the brightness of the display. All of these adjustments are easily 

completed and are saved as the new standard for the machine—you don’t need to reset them for each use.

To access the User Set-up functions, press and hold both the Level Up Arrow (

) and Level Down Arrow (

) keys 

for three seconds, or until you hear a beep. The following customizable functions are displayed in sequence in the 

Message Center; use the Enter key to toggle through the available options (shown in the matrix display) for each 

function, and press any Up Arrow (

) or Down Arrow (

) to select a setting and move to the next function. To exit 

without changing any values, press Pause Clear twice.

Warm-Up

This feature may be turned “ON” (to include a 3-minute warm-up in each workout) or “OFF”. 
The factory default setting is “ON”. 

Clock Direction

The LX8000 cross-trainer can track workout time by counting “UP” or “DOWN”. The factory

You may set the maximum workout time for users of the LX8000 to the value that is best 
for your environment. Use the Enter key to scroll through the possible values (in 5-minute 
increments), or use the numeric keypad to enter any 1-minute increment between 10:00 and 
99:00. Press the Up Arrow (

) or Down Arrow (

) key to select the value you desire. The 

factory default setting is 99 minutes.

Unit Type

You may choose to have the weight and distance units displayed in “ENGLISH” (pounds and 
miles) or “METRIC” (kilograms and kilometers). The factory default setting is “ENGLISH”. 

CROSS 

CIRCUIT Pro

Select  “ON”  to  enable  the  two  CROSS  CiRCUIT  Pro  programs  (for  use  with  the  optional 
CROSS CiRCUIT Pro Kit). Factory default is “OFF”.

Default Width

You may set the default lateral width of the unit to any value between 1 (narrowest) and 10 
(widest). Use the Enter key to scroll through the possible values, or enter the value using the 

number keypad, then press 

the Up Arrow (

) or Down Arrow (

) key to select. The factory 

default setting is 5.

Beep

You may turn the console sounds “ON” or “OFF”. The factory default setting is “ON”.

Brightness

You can adjust the intensity or brightness of the console LEDs, choosing any value between 
1 and 8. A higher number represents more light. The factory default setting is 8.

Exit

When EXIT is displayed in the Message Center, press Enter to leave User Set-up. All of your 

selections will be saved and become the new standard settings for your machine. They may 
be changed at any time by repeating these set-up procedures.
