ELECTRONICS

The xR4c and xR4ci seated ellipticals feature a simple, easy to understand keypad and a console which includes 
a workout profile matrix and four multi-function LED display windows that provide all the information you need to 
get started and stay motivated during your workout. Check out the program descriptions found later in this manual 
to choose the workout that is just right for you.

Getting started is easy—just hop on and start pedaling. DedicatedLogic

 programming gives you the ultimate in 

ease of use and total flexibility for programming your console. This allows you to modify your workout once you’ve 
started. You can even start your workout, then program the electronics. This ease of use starts by giving each key 
only one function. This makes it easy to understand how each key works.

Keypad Buttons

Quick Start

The easiest way for you to start your workout is to simply push the Quick Start  button, 
setting the machine in a manual program at resistance level one. The  calories readout 
will be based on a 150 lb. (68 kg) user, age 40. Once you have selected Quick Start, you 
can program any item in any order.

My QuickStart 1 & 

My QuickStart 2

(xR4ci)

The  My  QuickStart  buttons  makes  programming  your  best  workout  even  easier  by 
memorizing your workout profile. My QuickStart remembers your favorite program and 
attributes and, with a simple push of the button, retrieves them for your next workout.
You can easily set your profile while using the machine. Simply begin your workout and 
enter  your  information  as  usual—program,  time,  level,  weight,  and  age  (xR4ci  only), 
adding Muscle Endurance and/or Leg Press if you wish. Once your elliptical cross trainer 
is set the way you like it, simply press and hold the My QuickStart 1 (or My QuickStart 
2) button until you hear the console beep, indicating that this favorite profile has been 
saved. If you decide during your workout to change what you have saved (for example, you 
decide to increase the time or level), just enter the changes on the console. If you want 
to save these new settings, just press and hold My QuickStart again for three seconds or 
until you hear the beep. This resets your saved profile using the new attributes.
The next time you are ready for your favorite workout, simply press the My QuickStart 
button and begin pedaling. You may also switch to your favorite program after you have 
started a workout; to do this,  press Pause Clear twice within two seconds to reset the 
machine, then press My QuickStart to begin your program.

Tip:

 

Use My QuickStart 1 and My QuickStart 2 to save two different workouts. Save 

the first one according to the directions above, then press Pause Clear twice within two 
seconds to reset the machine, and follow the steps again to save the second workout 
using the other My QuickStart button

.

 If you feel like doing something different after 

you  have  started  your  favorite  workout  with  My  QuickStart,  simply  enter  your  new 
information. This will only change the current workout, not your saved favorite.

Tip:

 

View total workout statistics for these favorite workouts at any time by pressing and 

holding My QuickStart 1 or My QuickStart 2 and Enter for 3 seconds. 

Now-Zone

(xR4ci)

 Press the Now-Zone button to move instantly into a heart rate-controlled program using 
your current heart rate as the target. Press the button a second time to exit the heart 
rate-controlled program and enter a manual program. Now-Zone can be activated while 
in any program at any time as long as you are wearing your wireless transmitter.
