CE900 CONSOLE OPERATION

POWER
Spirit Fitness commercial elliptical trainers have a built-in generator for power and do not need to be
plugged into an AC outlet. To power up the elliptical trainer simply start to pedal, the console will turn on
automatically.
When initially powered on, the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time the display may
not light up for a few seconds. Continue pedaling and the display will light up. Once powered on, the
Message Window will be scrolling the start-up message. You may now begin your
workout program.
C-SAFE FEATURE
Your console is equipped with a C-SAFE 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 tness software applications.

Spirit Fitness
QUICK START
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start button
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 Up and
Down buttons. The dot matrix display will show just the bottom row lit. As you increase the workload
more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical trainer will get harder to pedal as the
rows increase. The dot matrix has 24 columns of lights and each column represents 1 minute. At the
end of the 24th column (or 24 minutes of work) the display will wrap around and start at the rst
column again.
There are 40 levels of resistance – displayed as 10 rows of lights – available for plenty of variety.
The rst 10 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set to a good
progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 10-20 are more challenging but the increases from one
level to the next remain small. Levels 20-30 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically.
Levels 30-40 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
BASIC INFORMATION
The Dot Matrix, or Prole Window, will display the workout Prole. The Message window displays
pertinent exercise data. There is a Strides Per Minute window for pedal speed and a Level window
indicating machine resistance. A Heart Rate data window and bar graph show how hard you are
working and a lap counter provides distance information.
The Message Window will initially be displaying Watts, Time Elapsed, Calories and Distance
information. On the left of the Message Window is a button labeled Scan. When the Scan button is
pressed the next set of information will appear: METs, Time Remaining, Calories/Hour and Strides

15
www.spirittness.com
(total stride count). Pressing the Scan button, the Scan mode is activated 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 Scan button again will bring you back to the beginning.
To the right of the Prole Window is a Heart Icon, Heart Rate number display and a Bar Graph. The
elliptical trainer 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 Icon blinking (this may take a few
seconds). The Heart Rate window will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute. The Bar
Graph represents the percentage of your maximum heart rate you are currently achieving.
NOTE: You must enter your age during program setup for the Bar Graph to be accurate..

16
Spirit Fitness
The Stop button button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop button once during a program
will pause the program for 5 minutes (when you stop pedaling without AC power the display will turn
off 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 button or start pedaling. If the Stop button
is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the console will return to the start-up
screen. If the Stop button button is held down for 3 seconds, the console will perform a complete
Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop button performs a Previous Screen function. This
allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop button button.
The Program Buttons are used to preview each program. When you rst turn the console on, you may
press each program button to preview what the program prole looks like. If you decide that you want
to try a program, press the corresponding program button and then press the Enter button to select the
program and enter into the data set-up mode.

17
www.spirittness.com
NUMBER KEY PAD
When you are in the data set-up mode setting new data such as age, weight etc., you can use these
buttons to enter the numbers quickly.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the button on the upper
right side of the console. This is a 3-speed fan and each time you press the button the airow will increase
accordingly. After the third setting the fan will turn off when the button is pressed again.
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 ensures that the Heart Rate bar graph 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 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 an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you
have nished exercising!

Spirit Fitness
ENTERING A PROGRAM & CHANGING SETTINGS
When you enter a program (by pressing a program button then Enter button) you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to work out without entering new settings, then just
press the Start button. 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 pre-saved
settings will be used.
MANUAL
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload
yourself and not the computer. To start the Manual program, follow the instructions below or just press the
Manual button then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Window.
1. Press the Manual button then press the Enter button.
2. The Message Window will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Up and Down buttons or
the numeric button pad, then press the Enter button to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the Weight number using the Up and Down buttons, or
the numeric button pad, then press enter to continue.
4. The next setting is Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.
5. Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start button. You can also
go back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter button. NOTE: At any time during the editing of data you
can press the Stop button to go back one level, or screen.
6. 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 Up button; the Down button
will decrease the workload.
7. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to exit the program.
