HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM 1 Turn on the console. Refer to step 1 on page 12. 2 Select one of the six Smart programs. Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a Smart program, press the Program button repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 appears in the upper right corner of the display. The profiles numbered 1 through 6 on the left side of the console show the resistance and pace settings for the Smart programs. For example, profile number 3 shows that when Smart program 3 is selected, both the resistance and the pace will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and then decrease during the last half. 3 Start the program. To start the program, simply begin exercising. Each Smart program consists of either twenty or thirty, one-minute periods. One resistance setting and one pace setting are programmed for each period. (The same resistance setting and/or pace setting may be programmed for consecutive periods.) During the program, the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer will automatically change as shown by the applicable profile on the console. If the current resistance level is too high or too low, you can change the resistance level by pressing the + and - buttons. However, when the current period of the program is completed, the resistance level will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next period. The pace set- tings for the pro- gram will be shown by the right bar graph in the display. (The Increase Arrow left bar graph will show your actual exercise pace.) As the right bar graph changes during the program, simply increase or decrease your pace so that the same number of bars appear on both bar graphs. If your pace is slower than the current pace setting, the increase arrow will appear in the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if your pace is faster than the pace setting, the decrease arrow will appear. Important: The pace settings for the program are intended only to provide a goal. Your actu- al pace may be slower than the pace settings, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. During the program, the display will show the time remaining in the program. When no time remains, the program will be completed. If you continue exercising after the program is completed, the display will continue to show your exercise feedback. 4 Follow your progress with the feedback modes. Refer to step 4 on page 12. 5 Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 12. 6 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. Refer to step 6 on page 12. 13
