DIAGRAM OF THE CONSOLE
Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic
on the face of the console, remove it.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative console offers a manual mode and
three pacer programs. The pacer programs are
designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by
pacing your exercise. The programs include a stamina-
building Interval program, an Aerobic program, and a
Fat Burn program. The console also features six moni-
tor modes that provide continuous exercise feedback.
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program,
two columns of
bars will appear in
the display. The
left column will
show a target
pace; the right
column will show
your actual pace.
The target pace will change periodically during the
program; as the target pace changes, simply adjust
your pace to keep both columns at the same height.
Important: The target pace is a goal pace. Your
actual pace may be slower than the target pace,
especially during the first few months of your
exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
The graphs on the left side of the console show how
the target pace will change during each program (see
the drawing above). Each graph is divided into ten
columns, and each column represents a two-minute
time period. The bars in each column show what the
target pace will be during that two-minute period. For
example, in the first column of the Interval graph, there
is one bar. This shows that during the first two minutes
of the Interval program, the target pace will be 40
repetitions (strides) per minute (see the scale at the
right end of the graph). In the second column, there
are five bars. This shows that during the second two-
minute period, the target pace will be 80 strides per
minute. Each pacer program is twenty minutes long.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES
The six monitor modes provide continuous exercise
feedback. The modes are described below.
• (REPS/MIN) Reps per minute—This mode shows
your pace, in repetitions (strides) per minute.
• TIME—If you select one of the three pacer pro-
grams, this mode will count down the time remain-
ing in the program. If you select the manual mode,
this mode will count up the length of time you have
exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten sec-
onds or longer, the time mode will pause.

• DISTANCE—This mode shows the total number of
repetitions (strides) you have completed, up to 999.
The display will then reset to zero and continue
counting.
• (FAT CALS) Fat calories—This mode shows the
approximate number of fat calories you have
burned. (See BURNING FAT on page 12 for an
explanation of fat calories.)
• (CALS) Calories—This mode shows the approxi-
mate number of calories you have burned. (This
number includes both fat calories and carbohydrate
calories.)
• SCAN—This mode displays the calories, fat
calories, reps per minute, time, and distance modes,
for five seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before the console can be operated, two 1,5V bat-
teries must be installed. (See assembly step 6 on
page 6 for installation instructions.) Follow the steps
below to operate the console.
Turn on the power
To turn on the
power, press the
on/reset button
or simply begin
exercising on the
ECLIPSE II.
When the power is turned on, the entire display
will appear for two seconds. The console will then
be ready for use. Note: If batteries were just
installed, the power will already be on.
Select one of the three pacer programs or the
manual mode
To select one of
the pacer
programs,
repeatedly press
the program but-
ton. The program
indicator will
show which
program you
have selected. To
select the manual mode, press the program
button until the program indicator disappears.
The programs will be selected in the following
order: program 1 (Interval), program 2 (Aerobic),
program 3 (Fat Burn), and the manual mode.
Begin your workout
If you selected
the manual
mode, go to step
4. If you selected
one of the pacer
programs, two
columns of bars
will appear in the
display. The left
column will show
one bar, showing that the target pace is 40 strides
per minute. The right column will show your actual
pace. Adjust your pace until only one bar appears
in the right column. As the program progresses,
the target pace will change periodically; as the
target pace changes, adjust your pace to keep
both columns at the same height. Important: The
target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace
may be slower than the target pace, especially
during the first few months of your exercise
program. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
Follow your progress with the monitor modes
When the power
is turned on, the
scan mode will
automatically be
selected. One
mode indicator
will show that the
scan mode is
selected, and a
flashing mode
indicator will show which mode is currently
displayed. Note: If you select a different mode, you
can select the scan mode again by repeatedly
pressing the mode button.
If desired, you can select the reps per minute,
time, distance, fat calories, or calories mode for
full-time display. To select one of these modes,
repeatedly press the mode button. The mode
indicators will show which mode is selected.
(Make sure that the scan mode is not selected.)
If desired, the display can be reset by pressing
the on/reset button.
Turn off the power
To turn off the power, simply wait for about
four minutes. If the pedals are not moved and
the console buttons are not pressed for four
minutes, the power will turn off automatically.
