Turn on the console.
Note: The console requires four 1.5V “D” batteries
(see assembly step 5 on page 6).
To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button
or begin pedalling.
Select the manual mode.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be selected.
If a program
has been
selected, select
the manual mode by pressing the Program button
repeatedly until the upper right corner of the dis-
play is blank.
Begin pedalling and adjust the resistance of
the elliptical crosstrainer.
As you pedal, adjust the resistance of the ellipti-
cal crosstrainer as desired by pressing the + and
– buttons. There are ten resistance levels; level
10 is the most challenging. Note: After the but-
tons are pressed, it will take a few seconds for the
selected setting to be reached.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes
and the left pace indicator.
When the con-
sole is turned
on, the scan
mode will be
selected. As
you pedal, the
display will
show your cur-
rent speed, the elapsed time, the distance that
you have pedalled, the current resistance level,
and the approximate numbers of calories and of
fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING
on page 23). In addition, your heart rate will be
shown when you use the handgrip pulse sensor
or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: Each
time the resistance level changes, the console
will show the resistance level for six seconds.
When a program is selected, the display will
show the time
remaining
in the program instead
of the elapsed time.
If desired, you can select a single feedback mode
for continuous display. Press the Mode button
repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time,
Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Fat Cals. indica-
tor appears in the display. Make sure that the
Scan indicator does not appear.
In addition, the left pace indicator will appear in the
display. As you increase or decrease your pace,
the indicator will increase or decrease in height.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at
the same time, the console may not display
your heart rate accurately.
If there are
sheets of plas-
tic on the metal
contacts on the
handgrip pulse
sensor, peel off
the plastic.
To
use the handgrip
pulse sensor,
place your hands on the metal contacts. Your
palms must be on the upper contacts and your
fingers must be touching the lower contacts.
Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is
detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the dis-
play will flash each time your heart beats. After a
moment, two dashes (– –) will appear and then
your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note:
When you first hold the handgrips, the display will
show your heart rate continuously for 15 sec-
onds. The display will then show your heart rate
along with the other feedback modes.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes,
the con-
sole will automatically turn off to conserve
the batteries.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Metal
Contacts
This corner
should be blank
prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate. When the right indicator changes in height,
increase or decrease your pace so that both indi-
cators are at the same height. If your pace is
slower than the current target pace, the increase
arrow will appear in the display; if your pace is
faster than the target pace, the decrease arrow
will appear.
Important: The target pace is
intended only to provide a goal. Your actual
pace may be slower than the target pace,
especially during the first few months of your
exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
If you continue pedalling after the program is
completed, the display will continue to show your
exercise feedback.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes.
See step 4 on page 13.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 6 on page 13.
