Basic Information and Functions:

Display:

The dot matrix display will show the Resistance profile. If you press the 

Start

 key during a pro-

gram, the dot matrix will switch to the Incline profile. Pressing the 

Start

 key again will switch to a 

Lap track, which is ¼ mile in length.

Pressing the 

Enter

 key will switch the data displayed in the Message Window. Initially, the Mes-

sage Window shows the program name. Each time the 

Enter

 key is pressed the data will change 

to the following: Speed, Watts, Laps, Altitude (elevation gain), Current Level/Max Level, Scan, 

and repeat sequence. To the left of the dot matrix is a number that indicates your Resistance or 

Incline level.

Data Displayed

:

 

ƒ

Calories show an accumulation of calories burned (Kcal). This is an estimate that takes into 

account the type of exercise, the resistance level, the pace and body weight.

 

ƒ

Time shows elapsed time if counting up from zero, or time remaining if counting down.

 

ƒ

Seg Time counts down the time left in the current segment (column) of the profile.

 

ƒ

Pulse indicates your heart rate if you are grasping the hand pulse sensors.

 

ƒ

RPM displays your pedaling speed in revolutions per minute.

 

ƒ

The elliptical has a built in Heart Rate Monitoring System. Simply grasping the hand pulse  

sensors on the stationary handlebars or by wearing the chest strap 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.

Pause/Reset Functions

:

Reset

 key actually has several functions. Pressing the 

Stop

/

Reset

 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 after pausing just press the 

Start

 key. If the 

Stop

/

Reset

 key is pressed twice during a 

workout, the program will end and a summary of your workout will be displayed. If the
