BASIC INFORMATION
The Dot Matrix, or Prole Window, will display the workout Prole. The Message window displays
pertinent exercise data. There are four windows to display a large variety of pertinent data during
the workout. A Vertical window measures vertical height climbed along with Heart Rate and METS.
Calories window measuring overall calories burned along with Calories/minute and WATTS. A Time
Elapsed window along with Time Remaining and Total Program Time. Also, a Steps/minute window
along with total Steps and Floors climbed.
Heart Rate number display. The StairClimber has a built-in heart rate monitoring system. Simply
grasping the hand pulse sensors, will calculate and display Heart Rate in the upper left side window
(this may take a few seconds). Press on the scroll button until Hear Rate is displayed. The Heart Rate
window will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute.
Pressing the Stop button once during a program will lock the rotating staircase and pause the
program. 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. The staircase will remain locked until the program is continued.
To resume your workout during Pause just press the Start button to unlock the stairs and continue
stepping. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end, and the console
will return to the start-up screen.

16
ENTERING A PROGRAM & CHANGING SETTINGS
A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple switch design that should always be used.
It is for your safety should you fall from the StairClimber when the Steps Per Minute (SPM) exceeds
your capability. Pulling this safety tether cord and activating the switch will stop the stairs movement.
To Use:
• Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. NOTE: the
switch has a strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping. The clip should
be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function and
limitations. The StairClimber will stop, depending on the level within one to two steps anytime the
switch is activated.
• If for any reason you feel unstable on the rotating staircase, immediately press the START/STOP
button or pull on the safety switch to stop the staircase and step off onto the side support steps
FAN
An adjustable vent, two-speed fan is integrated into the console to help keep you
cool during the workout. The fan is Off by default.
Press the fan button once to turn the fan on, on High. Press the fan button a second
time to switch to Low. Pressing the fan button a third time will shut the fan off.

17
DISPLAY
The console display is separated into 4 separate display windows with thirteen total data points.
Using the button below each window changes the display data point as shown.
WINDOW ONE WINDOW TWO WINDOW THREE WINDOW FOUR
VERTICAL DISTANCE CALORIES TIME ELAPSED STEPS PER MINUTES
HEART RATE CALORIES / MINUTE TIME REMAINING STEPS
METS WATTS TOTAL PROGRAM TIME FLOORS
Vertical distance counts up from 0 to 999 feet or meters then rolls over
to 1 to represent 1,000. A light in the decimal space for each increment
of 1,000 will also illuminate and changes position with each distance of
1,000 reached.
Changing from imperial to meters is accomplished by pressing 1,2,3,OK.

18
NUMBER KEYPAD
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
QUICK START
This is the quickest way to start a workout. 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 level 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 StairClimber
will get harder as the stairs begin to rotate more easily as the rows increase,
thus increasing your steps per minute. 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 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The rst
levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set
to a good progression for de-conditioned users. As the levels increase, the
braking of the rotating stairs decreases, causing the user to step a faster
rate, steps per minute (spm). The highest levels, levels 15-20 are extremely challenging. These levels
should not be used by deconditioned users as there is greater risk of falling off machine when the user
cannot keep up with the rate of rotation of the stairs. These levels are extremely hard and are good for
short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
