HOW TO USE THE STEPPER Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it. 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 console also features six monitor modes that provide continuous exercise feedback. HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE When you use a pacer program, Actual Pace two columns of bars will appear in the display. The left column will show a target pace, which is determined by the Target Pace program you have selected; the right column will show your actual pace. The target pace will change periodically during the program; as the tar- get pace changes, simply adjust your pace to keep both columns at the same height. Important: The tar- get 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 three graphs on the console show how the target pace will change during the pacer programs (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 graph 2, there is one bar. This shows that during the first two minutes of program 2, the target pace will be 40 repetitions (steps) per minute (see the scale at the right end of the graph). In the second column, there are three bars. This shows that during the second two-minute period, the target pace will be 60 repetitions 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/MinÑThis mode shows your pace, in repetitions (steps) per minute. ¥ TimeÑIf 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. 6
