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:

(in MPH),
RPM
(Revolutions per
minute),

.
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
PulseWindow
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 inaccurate
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.
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 as in a clinical setting connected to a
host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate.
