Console Operation
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key to begin,
this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may
be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down buttons. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom
row lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical
will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
Basic information
The
Message Window
will initially be displaying Speed information. Each time the Enter button is pressed
the next set of information will appear, five windows in all. In order: Speed in RPM and MPH, Workload
Level (include max level), Watts and Ramp level. If the Enter button is pressed during the Level and Watts
display the Scan light will come on and the message window will show each set of data for four seconds then
switch to the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the Enter button again will bring you back to the
beginning.
The E25 Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors on the
stationary handle bars, or wearing the heart rate transmitter, 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 and the console will
return to the start up screen. If the Stop/Reset key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a
complete
Reset.
During data entry for a program the Stop/Reset key performs a
Previous Screen
function.
This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop/Reset key.
The
Program Keys
are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you may press
each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you want to try a
program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the program and enter
into the data setting mode.
The program keys also act as a
Number Key Pad
when you are in the data setting mode. Under each program
key is a number. If you are setting new data, such as Age, weight etc., you can use these keys to enter the
numbers quickly.
The E series consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, flip the switch on the
right side of the console case.
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 programs to ensure the correct
settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you.
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. This
is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will
continue to burn calories at about the same rate as during exercise for 20-30 minutes after you have finished
exercising!
