keys. The dot matrix display
will show a 0.4Km track with a lap counter in the center to monitor your progress.
Basic Information and Functions:
Message Window:
Will initially be displaying the Time, Program name and Distance (in kilometer ). Each time the
Enter
key is pressed the next set of information will appear, three sets of data in all. The next set
of information displayed is: Speed (in Kph) , RPM (pedaling speed) and Watts (indication of work
level). The third set displayed is: Calories, Level (work level from 1-20) and Pulse (heart rate in
beats per minute). Pressing the
Enter key one more time will set the display to scan mode where
the data will change every 4 seconds.
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 key actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will
pause the program for five 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 just
press the
Start key. If the Stop key is pressed twice during a workout the program will end and a
summary of your workout is displayed. If the Stop key is held down for three seconds the console
will perform a complete reset. During data entry for a program the
Stop
key will take you back
one step in the programming each time you press the key.
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.
