buttons. The dot matrix
display will be showing a track with a blinking dot indicating your
progress as it travels around the track.
BASIC INFORMATION
The
Message Window
will initially display
Laps
completed. Each time the
Display
button
is pressed the next set of information will appear. The order of information displayed will be:
Speed
(in MPH),
RPM
(Revolutions per minute),

Scan
mode. In

the

.
The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the
Contact
Heart Rate Sensors
on the stationary handle bars or wearing the chest strap transmitter
will start the heart (see Heart Rate Programs) Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds).
The
Pulse Window
will display your heart rate in beats per minute and the HR bar graph
will show your current % in relation to projected heart rate maximum. The chest strap is a
more accurate and reliable method of heart rate reading. The hand pulse sensors are
subject to false readings depending on user physiology and workout habits including how
one grips the sensors or how sweaty their hands are.
The
Stop
button actually has several functions.
Pressing the
Stop
key once during a program will
Pause
the
program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer
the phone or any of the many things that could interrupt your
workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout during
Pause
just press the
Start
key. If the
Stop
button is pressed
twice during a workout the program will end and a
Workout
Summary
is displayed.
If the
Stop
key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete
Reset
.
During data entry for a program the
Stop
key performs a
Previous Screen
function. This
allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the
Stop
key.
There is an
Audio In Jack
( ) on the front of the console and built-in speakers. You
may plug any low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include MP3, iPod,
portable radio, CD player or even a TV or computer audio signal. There is also a
Headphone Jack
( )for private listening.
PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to
suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are
correct. You will be asked for your
Age
and
Weight
. Entering your
Age
is necessary during
the Heart Rate control program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program;
entering your
Weight
aides in calculating a more correct
Calorie
reading. Although we
cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
