Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
to squeeze the contacts tightly. For optimal perfor-
mance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean
the contacts.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, the
console will pause and the time will flash in the
display. To resume your workout, simply resume
pedaling.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes and
the buttons are not pressed, the console will turn
off and the display will be reset.
Note: The console features a demo mode,
designed to be used if the elliptical is displayed in
