Console Operation
Quick Start mode
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key
to begin. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted
manually by pressing the Up or Down keys. Press the Enter key to switch between the Speed in
MPH or RPM readings.
Basic information and functions:
The
Data displays:
•
Calories
show an accumulation of calories burned (Kcal). The number shown is just an
estimate; your actual calorie burn most likely will be different. The only way to get an
accurate calorie reading is in a laboratory setting connected to a host of machines.
•
Time
shows elapsed time unless you set the timer to count down.
•
Pulse
indicates your heart rate if you are grasping the hand pulse sensors.
•
RPM
displays your pedaling speed in revolutions per minute.
•
Speed
shows your speed in miles per hour (or KM if units are set to metric, see
maintenance section page 18).
•
Distance
displays accumulated mileage. The Distance window will also display an M or KM
indicating if the readout is in Kilometers (KM) or Miles (M).
The Elliptical has a built in
heart rate monitoring system
. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors
on the stationary handle bars will start the heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The
Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute.
The
Stop/Reset
button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset 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/Reset button is pressed twice during a workout the
program will end
.
There is an
Audio Input 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.
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 during programming 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.
A message about Calories
: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is
in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines.
