Important Saftey Instructions

IWARNING

• Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• Do not operate elliptical trainer on deeply padded, plush

or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and elliptical

trainer may result.

• Keep children away from the elliptical trainer.There are

obvious pinch points and other caution areas that can

cause harm.

• Keep hands away from all moving parts.

• Never operate the elliptical trainer if any of the parts are

damaged. If the elliptical trainer is not working properly,

a chest transmitter strap is a much more accurate method

of heart rate analysis .Various factors, including the

user’s movement, may affect the a ccuracy of heart rate

readings.The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise

aids in determining heart rate trends in general.

• Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or

bare feet are not suitable for use on your elliptical trainer.

Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg

fatigue.

POWER

The console power is created by a built in generator.When you begin pedaling the Elliptical trainer, the

console will automatically power up. If there is no movement at the ywheel, the console will go to stand-

by mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the console on, begin pedaling.

When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will

turn on. When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software version (i.e.: VER 1.0). The

distance window shows the distance in miles and the time window shows the total hours of use.

The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up display.

The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different proles of the programs and the Message

Center will be scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to use the console.

Dot Matrix Center Display

Twenty columns of boxes (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout.The boxes only show an

approximate level (resistance) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specic value - only an

approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the resistance dot matrix window

will build a prole “picture” as values are changed during a workout.

The resistance proles will display half of the program at one time (9 columns). They will both scroll right

to left.The Lap track will move in a counterclockwise direction.

1/4 Mile Track

The 1/4-mile track (one lap) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The ashing segment

indicates your progress. Once the 1/4-mile (Metric - 0.4k) is complete this feature will begin again. There is

a lap counter in the message window for monitoring your distance.

Pulse Grip Feature

The Pulse (Heart Rate) window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the

workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the stationary grips or the heart rate transmitter

chest strap to display your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display is receiving a Pulse signal.

You may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate Programs.

Note: Refer to Important Safety Instructions (page 2) concerning Pulse Grip operation.

Calorie Display

Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout.

Note:This is only a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which cannot be used for

medical purposes.

Speakers

The console has built-in Speakers. You may plug an Audio Source (CD player, MP3, Computer, etc.) into

the Jack on the console.There is no volume control on the console.The volume must be controlled on the

Audio Source.

Muscle Activation Figure

There is an anatomical gure located at the top of the console. This gure will light all areas that are activated

when using the elliptical trainer. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control which muscles

are activated by customizing the resistance prole during the set up phase of console programming. If you

accept the default program prole, the selected program will determine which muscles will be activated by

automatically adjusting the resistance. Generally the following guidelines hold true:

• The upper body LED’s will not light

• The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents mini-

mal muscle involvement, yellow represents medium involvement, and red represents full or

heavy activation.

• These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle activation:

• Levels 1-20: Green – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up; Yellow –

Quadriceps & Calves light up

• Levels 21-40: Yellow – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up; Red –

Quadriceps & Calves light up

Heart Rate % Proﬁle

The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a pulse is detected.

The Bar Graph, located to the right of the LCD screen, will show your current heart rate %

in relation to your projected maximum heart rate, which is determined by your age that you

entered during the programming phase of any of the 10 programs. The signicance of the bar

graph colors are as follows:

• 50-60% of maximum is Amber

• 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green

• 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red

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 and the workload may be adjusted

manually by pressing the Level Up/Down keys.The dot matrix display will have

only the bottom row lit at rst. As you increase the work load more rows will

light indicating a harder workout.The elliptical trainer will get harder to pedal as

the rows increase.

There are 40 levels of resistance 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 6-10 are

more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 start

getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 30-40 are extremely difcult and are good for

short interval peaks and elite athletic training.

Basic Information

The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name.When in scan

mode during a program, speed will be displayed for four seconds, then move

on and display Watts (indication of workload). If 100 watts is displayed, you are

doing enough work to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The data changes to Laps

completed, Segment time, Max level. Pressing the Enter key again will bring you

back to the beginning.

The Stop key actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a

program will pause the program for 5 minutes. 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.

If the Stop key is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and

the console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg.

Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program,

the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a

previous screen or segment function.This allows you to go back to change programming data.

Program Keys

The program keys are used to preview each program. 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 Enter key to select the program and

enter into the data-setting mode.

The elliptical trainer has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors on

the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart Rate Transmitter section)

will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds).The Pulse Display Window will display your

heart rate, or Pulse in beats per minute.

The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool.To turn the fan on, press the key on the left side

of the console.

Programming The Console

Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs.

Some of the information is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your

Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate programs to ensure the correct

predicted target heart rate zone. 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 only an estimate and tend to vary widely.They are meant only as a guide to monitor your

progress from workout to workout.

Entering A Program And Changing Settings

When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of entering

your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then just press the Start

key.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 Center. If you start a

program without changing the settings, the default or saved settings will be used.

NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings.

If you enter your Age and Weight the rst time you use the elliptical trainer, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or
