HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM 1 Make sure that the power supply is plugged in. Refer to step 1 on page 11. 2 Press any button on the console or move the pedals to turn on the power. Refer to step 2 on page 11. 3 Select one of the six smart programs. When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a smart program, press the Select Program button repeatedly until a P-1, P-2, P-3, P-4, P-5, or P-6 appears in the left display. The profiles labeled P1 to P6 on the console show the resistance and pace settings for the smart programs. For example, profile P5 shows that during program 5 both the resistance and the pace will gradually increase during the first half of the program and then decrease during the last half. Note: When you select a smart program, the matrix will show a simplified profile of the program. 4 Start the program. To start the program, press the Start Program button or simply begin exercising. Each program is divided into several one-, two-, three-, and fourminute segments. One resistance setting and one pace setting are programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting and/or pace setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.) The resistance setting for the first Current Segment segment will be shown in the flash- ing Current Segment column of the matrix. The resistance settings for the next five segments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first segment, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all resistance settings will move one column to the left. The resistance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer will automatically adjust to the second setting. The pace settings for the program will a be shown by the Training Zone bar. The lit indicators in the bar will show your actual pace. If b an indicator to the right of the lit indi- cators flashes (see drawing a), increase your pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator flashes (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flashing, your pace matches the cur- rent pace setting. Important: The pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the current pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. The program will continue until the resistance setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column of the matrix and the left display shows that no time remains in the program. Note: You can manually override the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will automatically adjust to the setting for the next segment. If you stop exercising for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume exercising. 5 Watch your progress with the two displays. Refer to step 5 on page 11. 6 Measure your heart rate, if desired. Refer to step 6 on page 12. 7 When the program is finished, the console will automatically turn off. See step 7 on page 12. 13
