FS5.3e Elliptical
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the
Start key to begin. In Quick Start the time will count up from zero and the Resistance may be
adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up/Down keys. The dot matrix display will show the
Resistance profile. If you press the Start button during a program, the dot matrix will switch to
a Track profile, which is ¼ mile in length. Pressing the Enter key will switch the data displayed
in the Message Window. Initially, the Message Window shows the program name. Each time
the Enter button is pressed the data will change to the following: Speed, Watts, Laps, Current
Level/Max Level, Scan, and repeat sequence. To the right of the dot matrix is a number that
indicates your work level.

Basic Information and Functions:
Data Displayed
:
Calories show an accumulation of calories burned (Kcal). The number shown is just an
estimate; your actual calorie burn most likely will be different. The only way to get an
accurate calorie reading is in a laboratory setting connected to a host of machines.
Time shows elapsed time unless you set the timer to count down.
Seg Time counts down the time left in the current segment (column) of the profile.
Pulse indicates your heart rate if you are grasping the hand pulse sensors.
RPM displays your pedaling speed in revolutions per minute.
Speed shows your speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour if ‘Km’ is displayed.
Distance displays accumulated mileage.
The elliptical has a built in Heart Rate Monitoring System. Simply grasping the hand pulse
sensors on the stationary handlebars 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 after pausing just press the Start key. If the Stop/Reset button is pressed twice during a
workout, the program will end and a summary of your workout will be displayed. If the Stop/Reset
key is held down for 3 seconds, the console will perform a complete reset.
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 player, iPod, portable
radio, CD player or even a TV or computer.
