FUNCTIONS
COMPUTER OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn
on. When the lights go off the dot matrix display will show a software version. (ie: VER 1.0) The odometer
reading displays how many hours the elliptical has been used and how many virtual miles the elliptical has gone.
The display will look like this: ODO 12.3 (KM)12:34 (hour : minute)
Power up
The Elliptical is supplied with an external power supply. When power is connected to the Elliptical, the console
will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the console will go to stand-by
mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the console on press any key.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up display. The
dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different profiles of the programs and the message window will be
scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to use the console.

FUNCTIONS
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 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 Up / Down 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 consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. Press Fan key one time to turn the fan on, then press
again will be turn off.
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.

13
FUNCTIONS
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!
Entering/Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then enter key, you have the option of entering your own
personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the Start key. This will
bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your workout. If you want to change the
personal settings then just follow the instructions in the message window. If you start a program without changing
the settings the default, or saved, settings will be used.
The default computer settings are: Age = 35; Weight = 70 kg; Time = 20:00; Max Level=5(one point is one
level on the dot matrix below level 8)
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age and Weight
entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the first time you use the
Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or Weight changes or
someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
Manual

6. Once the program starts you will be at level one. This is the easiest level and it is a good idea to stay at
level one for a while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load at any time press the Up key; the
Down key will decrease the workload.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message window by pressing

Heart Rate programs
Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate:
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising
comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper
use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high
or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
To determine the benefit range in which you
wish to train, you must first determine your
Maximum Heart Rate. This can be
accomplished by using the following formula:
220 minus your age. This will give you the
Maximum heart rate (MHR) for someone of
your age. To determine the effective heart rate
range for specific goals you simply calculate a
percentage your MHR. Your Heart rate
training zone is 50% to 90% of your
maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the
zone that burns fat while 80% is for
strengthening the cardio vascular system. This
60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for
maximum benefit.
90
For someone who is 40 years old their target
heart rate zone is calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats per minute.
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering
your age is used for the Heart Rate control programs and also for the Heart rate bar graph. After calculating
your Maximum Heart Rate you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and
lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart below represent the Maximum Heart Rate for a
person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular
fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition
of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is
weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your Maximum Heart Rate on a
schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.
With all Spirit Heart Rate Control elliptical machines you may use the heart rate monitor feature without
using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the
nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls resistance at the pedals.
