DIAGRAM OF THE CONSOLE Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it. DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE The innovative console offers a manual mode and three pacer programs. The pacer programs are designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by pacing your exercise. The programs include a staminabuilding Interval program, an Aerobic program, and a Fat Burn program. The console also features six monitor modes that provide continuous exercise feedback. HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE When you use a pacer program, two columns of bars will appear in the display. The left column will show a target pace; the right column will show Target Pace Actual Pace your actual pace. The target pace will change periodically during the program; as the target pace changes, simply adjust your pace to keep both columns at the same height. Important: The target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. The graphs on the left side of the console show how the target pace will change during each program (see the drawing above). Each graph is divided into ten columns, and each column represents a two-minute time period. The bars in each column show what the target pace will be during that two-minute period. For example, in the first column of the Interval graph, there is one bar. This shows that during the first two minutes of the Interval program, the target pace will be 40 repetitions (strides) per minute (see the scale at the right end of the graph). In the second column, there are five bars. This shows that during the second twominute period, the target pace will be 80 strides per minute. Each pacer program is twenty minutes long. DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES The six monitor modes provide continuous exercise feedback. The modes are described below. • (REPS/MIN) Reps per minute-This mode shows your pace, in repetitions (strides) per minute. • TIME-If you select one of the three pacer programs, this mode will count down the time remaining in the program. If you select the manual mode, this mode will count up the length of time you have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause. 8 • DISTANCE-This mode shows the total number of repetitions (strides) you have completed, up to 999. The display will then reset to zero and continue counting. • (FAT CALS) Fat calories-This mode shows the approximate number of fat calories you have burned. (See BURNING FAT on page 12 for an explanation of fat calories.) • (CALS) Calories-This mode shows the approximate number of calories you have burned. (This number includes both fat calories and carbohydrate calories.) • SCAN-This mode displays the calories, fat calories, reps per minute, time, and distance modes, for five seconds each, in a repeating cycle. STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION Before the console can be operated, two 1,5V batteries must be installed. (See assembly step 6 on page 6 for installation instructions.) Follow the steps below to operate the console. 1 Turn on the power To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or simply begin exercising on the ECLIPSE II. When the power is turned on, the entire display will appear for two seconds. The console will then be ready for use. Note: If batteries were just installed, the power will already be on. 2 Select one of the three pacer programs or the manual mode 3 Begin your workout If you selected the manual mode, go to step 4. If you selected one of the pacer programs, two columns of bars will appear in the display. The left Target Pace Actual Pace column will show one bar, showing that the target pace is 40 strides per minute. The right column will show your actual pace. Adjust your pace until only one bar appears in the right column. As the program progresses, the target pace will change periodically; as the target pace changes, adjust your pace to keep both columns at the same height. Important: The target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. 4 Follow your progress with the monitor modes When the power is turned on, the Mode Indicators scan mode will automatically be selected. One mode indicator will show that the scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode indicator will show which mode is currently displayed. Note: If you select a different mode, you can select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing the mode button. To select one of the pacer Program Indicator programs, repeatedly press the program but- ton. The program indicator will show which program you have selected. To select the manual mode, press the program button until the program indicator disappears. The programs will be selected in the following order: program 1 (Interval), program 2 (Aerobic), program 3 (Fat Burn), and the manual mode. If desired, you can select the reps per minute, time, distance, fat calories, or calories mode for full-time display. To select one of these modes, repeatedly press the mode button. The mode indicators will show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the scan mode is not selected.) If desired, the display can be reset by pressing the on/reset button. 5 Turn off the power To turn off the power, simply wait for about four minutes. If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for four minutes, the power will turn off automatically. 9
