CSAFE feature
Your console is equipped with a CSAFE feature. The power (POWER)
port can be used for powering a remote controlled audio-visual system
by connecting a cable from the remote to the power port at the back of
the console. The Communication port (COMM) can be used to interact
with software applications.
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, all workout data
will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by
pressing the plus and minus keys. As you increase the workload more
rows will light indicating a harder workout. The stepper will get harder
to pedal as the rows increase.
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety.
The rst 5 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes
between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned
users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging but the increases from
one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough
as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are extremely
hard and are good for short interval peaks and higher
performance training.

16
Basic information
When you begin a program the dot matrix will display the workout
Prole.
The message window will initially be displaying distance, calories, pulse
and time information. On the bottom left of the key pad is a key labeled
display. Each time this display key is pressed the next set of information
will appear. If the display key is pressed during the second set of
information display the scan mode 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 display key again will
bring you back to the rst set of information as beginning.
The product has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping
the hand pulse sensors, or wearing a heart rate chest belt transmitter
will start the heart rate detection, the message window will display your
heart rate, or pulse, in beats per minute (this may take a few seconds).
Note: You must enter your correct age during program setup for heart
rate control program to be accurate. Refer to using a heart rate
transmitter section for details about these features and how they can
help you work out more eciently.
The stop key actually has several functions. Pressing the stop key once
during a program will Pause the program for 5 minutes (when you stop
pedaling without ac power the display will turn o but the memory will
be saved for 5 minutes just like the pause mode). 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 or start pedaling. If the stop key is pressed
twice during a workout the program will end and a summary of
information of the exercise session will be displayed, and then the
console will return to the start up screen. 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.

17
The program keys may be used to preview each program when in the
idle mode. When you rst turn the console on you may press each
program key to preview what the program prole looks like. If you
decide that you want to try a program, press the corresponding
program key and then press the conrm key to select the program and
enter into the data-setup mode.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool.
Programmable features
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 ensures that the heart
rate window shows the correct number. Your age is also necessary
during the heart rate control program 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.
Calorie note: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment,
whether it is in a facility 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 dierent and burns calories at a dierent
rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at an
accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have nished exercising!

18
Entering a program and changing settings
When you enter a program (by pressing a program key, then conrm
key) you have the option of modifying the settings. If you want to
begin without entering new settings just press the start key. This will
bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of
the program. If you want to change the settings just follow the
instructions in the message window. If you start a program without
changing the settings the default or pre-saved setting will be used.
Manual
The manual program works as the name implies, manually. This
means that you control the workload yourself, not the computer. To
start the manual program follow the instructions below or just press
the manual key then the conrm key and follow the directions in the
message window.
• Press the tness key and select the manual program then press the
conrm key.
• The message window will ask you to enter your age. You may enter
your age, using the plus and minus keys, then press the conrm button
to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.
• You are now asked to enter your weight. You may adjust the weight
number using the plus and minus keys, then press conrm to continue.
• The next setting is time. You may adjust the time and press conrm
key to continue.
• Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout
by pressing the start key. You can also go back and modify your
settings by pressing the conrm key.
Note: at any time during the editing of data you can press the stop key
to go back one level, or screen.
• The program automatically starts you 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 plus key; the
minus key will decrease the workload.
• During the manual program you will be able to scroll through the data
in the message window by pressing the display key.
• When the program ends you may press start to begin the same
program again or stop to exit the program.

19
Preset programs
The stepper has three dierent programs that have been designed for a
variety of workout goals. These programs factory preset work level
proles for achieving dierent goals. The initial built-in level of diculty
for each program is set to a relatively easy level. You may adjust the
level of diculty (max level) for each program before beginning.
Programming preset programs
• Select the desired program by pressing tness key then press conrm
key.
• The message window will ask you to enter your age. You may adjust
the age setting, using the plus and minus keys, then press conrm key
to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.
• You are now asked to enter your weight. You may adjust the weight
number using the plus and minus keys, then press conrm to continue.
• Next is time. You may adjust the time and press conrm to continue.
• Now you are asked to adjust the max level. This is the peak exertion
level you will experience during the program (at the top of the hill).
Adjust the level and then press conrm.
• Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout
by pressing the start key. You can also go back and modify your
settings by pressing the stop key to go back one level, or screen.
• If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during
the program press the plus and minus key. This will change the
workload settings of the entire prole, although the prole picture on
the screen will not change. The reason for this is so that you can see
the entire prole at all times. If the prole picture is changed it will
look distorted and not a true representation of the actual prole.
When you make a change to the workload, the message window will
show the current column, and program maximum, levels of work.
• During the program you will be able to scroll through the data in the
message window by pressing the display key.
• When the program ends the message window will show a summary of
your workout. The summary will be displayed for a short time then the
console will return to the start-up display.

20
Hill
The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance
in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the
program.
Plateau
The Plateau program provides a steady state exercise with warm up
and cool down periods.
Interval
The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity fol-
lowed by periods of low intensity. This program increases your endur-
ance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery
to replenish oxygen. Your cardio vascular system gets programmed to
use oxygen more eciently this way.
