HOW TO USE A CUSTOM WORKOUT 1. Begin pedaling to activate the console. The elliptical exerciser requires no batteries or external power source. Power is supplied by a generator while you are pedaling. To activate the console, begin pedaling at a moderate pace. After a few seconds, the console displays will light. A tone will then sound and the console will be ready for use. As you exercise, you will also be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace for the current segment. When a TOO SLOW indicator lights, increase your pace. When a TOO FAST indicator lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. 2. Select a custom workout. To select a custom workout, press one of the Custom buttons. When you select a custom workout, the indicator on the button will light. If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons. However, when the current segment ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level for the next segment. The length of the workout, the maximum pace, and the maximum resistance level will appear in the displays and a profile of the resistance levels of the workout will appear in the matrix. Note: If only a level row of indicators appears in the workout profile, see HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM WORKOUT on page 16. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The workout will continue until the last segment of the profile flashes and the last segment of the workout ends. 4. Change the workout if desired. 3. Begin pedaling to start the workout. Each custom workout is divided into 40 one-minute segments. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or target pace may be programmed for consecutive segments. During the workout, the workout profile will show your Profile progress. The flash- ing segment of the profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the current seg- ment. At the end of each segment of the workout, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a different resis- tance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then change. If desired, you can change the workout while using it. To change the resistance level for the current segment, simply press the Quick Resistance buttons. At the end of the current segment, the new resistance level will be stored in memory. To change the target pace for the current segment, simply change your pedaling pace. At the end of the current segment, your pace will be stored in memory. You can continue exercising and changing the workout for up to forty minutes. 5. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically. See step 7 on page 15. 17
