The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety or attention symbols and their
explanations deserve your careful attention and understanding. The warnings do not, by themselves, eliminate any
danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
Look for these symbols to point out safety precautions or important information.
Read all instructions before using your SCIFIT exercise machine. Save these instructions for future reference.
Close supervision is necessary when the exercise machine is being used by or near children or individuals with
disabilities. Keep children away from extended hand and foot supports.
Use the exercise machine only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Do not use outdoors or in a harsh environment where water is present (i.e. pool or spa areas).

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and
the American Heart Association (AHA) are continuously
updating guidelines and recommendations for physical
activity.
The current basic recommendations from ACSM and AHA
are:
Do moderately intense cardio 30 minutes a day, ve days
a week.
OR
Do vigorously intense cardio 20 minutes a day, three days
a week.
AND
Do eight to ten strength-training exercises, eight to twelve
repetitions of each exercise twice a week.
Moderate-intensity physical activity means working hard
enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat, yet
still being able to carry on a conversation. It should be
noted that to lose weight or maintain weight loss, 60 to
90 minutes of physical activity may be necessary. The 30
minute recommendation is for the average healthy adult to
maintain health and reduce the risk for chronic disease.
To review the latest guidelines and recommendations, visit
the American College of Sports Medicine website:
www.
acsm.org
To ensure a future of good health, you should always eat
well balanced meals, drink plenty of uid/water during a
workout, and stay t by exercising intelligently. Always
follow training guidelines that are specic to your own
physical condition.

The optional wireless heart rate transmitter accessory is a
useful device if you desire continuous feedback on your
current heart rate during a workout. In addition, the StepOne
includes a heart rate control program which requires the use
of the strap.
The heart rate control program enables the user to
set-up a target heart rate through real-time monitoring of
the user’s heart rate. The console maintains the user’s heart
rate at or below this established target rate by decreasing the
workload if the user’s heart rate exceeds the target.
Heart Rate transmitter straps come in a variety of styles and
manufacturers. To properly activate, secure the strap to the
chest and to deactivate follow the instructions that come
with the transmitter strap.
Always follow the manufacturers instructions for
proper care and use. Failure to follow manufacturers
instructions may result in injury to yourself.
Heart Rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate if
you feel faint. Stop exercising immediately. Excessive
exercising may result in serious injury or death.
Your approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is equal
to 220 minus your age. The upper limit of your target zone
is equal to 0.85 times your MHR. The lower limit of your
target zone is equal to 0.60 times your MHR.
For Example:
Your age is 40:
220 - 40 = 180
180 x .85 = 153 (max MHR)
180 x .60 = 108 (min MHR)
These values are based upon averages, always consult your
physician to establish the proper Heart rate zone for your
individual health condition.

SCIFIT products have 200 levels of computer controlled
resistance, which ensures that users of all tness levels
will be able to get a challenging but not overwhelming
workout. Because the resistance is adjustable in .1
increments, it is easy for the user to track progress. SCIFIT
products feature one of the highest resistance capabilities
available on any cardio equipment.
The StepOne is self-generated and has an extremely low
starting resistance. One pedal movement activates the
console and the screen will remain lit at the most minimal
levels of movement.
The StepOne has a battery back up which will keep the
screen lit for a short period after the workout is completed
or if the user stops. This varies between 0 seconds and
3 minutes and can change with the amount of use each
product gets.
If you prefer the console to remain lit at all times, a AC
adapter (included) can be plugged into the machine to
accomplish this. This is common in medical settings and
with Fit-Key Programs.
Touchscreen allows the user to select any program or
key feature on the console with just a nger tip touch
of the screen. The StepOne offers workout program
options that can be selected from the touchscreen display
(Menu screen example shown below). Six programs are
shown on the screen at one time, additional programs can
also be viewed by touching the “More” key on the screen.
When a workout program has been selected, the console
will then advance to the “Data Entry” mode where
additional information is entered prior to the workout
commencing.
The user will have two options of entering data as each
category is displayed on the screen.
A. Using the numerical touchscreen keypad (No. #1).
B. Using the “+” or “-” arrow keys (No. #2).
C. When the correct information has been entered,
touching the “Accept” button will save the data and
advance to the next category or begin the workout if it is
the last category (No. #3).
