your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. When the right indicator changes in height, increase or decrease your pace so that both indicators are the same height. If your pace is slower than the current target pace, the increase arrow will appear in the display; if your pace is faster than the target pace, the decrease arrow will appear. Important: The target pace is intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. If you continue pedalling after the program is completed, the display will continue to show your exercise feedback. 6 Follow your progress with the feedback modes. See step 4 on page 13. 7 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. See step 6 on page 13. HOW TO USE THE WATTS PROGRAM The watts program is designed to keep your power output near a target watts level that you set. Follow the steps below to use the watts program. 1 Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 13. 2 Select the watts program. Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select the watts program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until the number 8 appears in the upper right corner of the display. 3 Enter a target watts level. When the watts program is selected, the watts mode indicator and a target watts level of 20 will appear in the display. Press the + or - button repeatedly to change the target watts level, if desired. The target watts level can be from 20 to 250. 4 Start the program. To start the program, simply begin pedalling. The watts program consists of forty, one-minute periods. The same target watts level is programmed for all periods. During the program, the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer may periodically change to keep your power output near the target watts level that you set. Note: If the current resistance level is too high or too low, press the + or - buttons. Pressing the + and - buttons will change the target watts setting. 16 HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE 1 Turn on the console. Note: The console requires four 1.5V "D" batteries (see assembly step 5 on page 6). To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button or begin pedalling. 2 Select the manual mode. Each time the console is turned on, the This corner should be blank manual mode will be selected. If a program has been selected, select the manual mode by pressing the Program Select button repeatedly until the upper right corner of the display is blank. 3 Begin pedalling and adjust the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer. As you pedal, adjust the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer as desired by pressing the + and - buttons. There are ten resistance levels; level 10 is the most challenging. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it will take a few seconds for the selected setting to be reached. 4 Follow your progress with the feedback modes and the left pace indicator. When the console is turned on, the scan mode will be selected. As you pedal, the display will show your current speed, the elapsed time, the current resistance level, the approximate number of calories you have burned, the distance that you have pedaled, and your power output in watts. In addition, your heart rate will be shown when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor. Note: Each time the resistance level changes, the console will show the resistance level for six sec- onds. When a program is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time. If desired, you can select a single feedback mode for continuous display. Press the Display Mode button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time, Resist., Cals., Miles (or Kms), or Watts indicator appears in the display. Make sure that the Scan indicator does not appear. In addition, the left pace indicator will appear in the display. As you increase or decrease your pace, the indicator will increase or decrease in height. 5 Measure your heart rate if desired. Note: If you wear the chest pulse sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the console may not display your heart rate accurately. If there are thin sheets of plas- tic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic. To Metal Contacts use the handgrip pulse sensor, place your hands on the metal contacts. Your palms must be on the upper contacts and your fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the dis- play will flash each time your heart beats. After a moment, two dashes (- -) will appear and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note: When you first hold the handgrips, the display will show your heart rate continuously for 15 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other feedback modes. 6 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for a few minutes, the console will automatically turn off to conserve the batteries. 13
