Using the 719e Independent Action Climber
In addition to providing an excellent cardiovascular, low-impact workout, one of the advantages of the 719e Independent Action Climber is that it is simple to use. In a very short time, you can learn how to use it effectively. This section provides information about using the electronic console, setting the resistance level, and working out on the climber.
Understanding the Electronic Console
Once you have assembled your 719e climber, it is ready to use. There are no complex instructions to follow or mandatory programming steps required to operate the climber—the electronic display is there only for reference. It provides motivating feedback about your workout to help you monitor your progress and meet your fitness goals.
The console has an automatic auto-pause feature, allowing you to stop exercising briefly. Five minutes after you stop exercising the unique screen- saver feature turns off the display and saves your position. When you resume working out, the microprocessor continues counting from the point you left off, for an accurate readout of your total workout time.

Displays
TIME—functions like a stopwatch, giving you total exercise time per session, up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds. The Time display starts or stops automati- cally when you start or stop a workout.

TOTAL STEPS—shows the total number of steps during a workout, up to a total of 9,999. You can use this display to measure total work done in a workout.
SCAN—alternates automatically between Time and Total Steps every five seconds. Specify Scan to monitor your workout without having to constantly press the keys.
