CHOOSING THE WORKOUT LEVEL
If you have selected Profile P1 (Manual), the console will skip this step and go directly to setting time option described below.
If you have selected either Profile P2 to P6, ‘L1’ will now be showing in the furthest right display window. Each Profile has 9 different Levels to choose from. You vary the Profile Level by pressing either the UP or the DOWN arrow. The higher the number, the more difficult the workout will be. When the Level you choose to use is displayed, press the SELECT button. You are now ready to choose your workout time.
Reminder: When you are beginning an exercise program, it is better to start at a low level of intensity and gradually work up to higher levels. If you have been sedentary in the past 6 months, you might want to start with a Level of 1 or 2.
CHOOSING THE TIME
The number in the furthest right LED display now shows workout time. There are two ways to use the timer in Profile P1 Manual : Count Down Mode or Count Up Mode. When using Profiles P2 to P4, the timer can be operated in Count Down Mode only. When using P5 or P6, the timer will only operate in count up mode. When the preset distance is completed, the timer and program will stop.
Count Down Mode
In count down mode, the timer starts with a set number of minutes and moves to zero. Count down times of between 5 minutes and 99 minutes can be selected. You vary the time by pressing either the UP or the DOWN arrows. The preset workout time for each Profile has been chosen to match the Profile’s pri- mary fitness goal. However, you may want to customize the workout time to fit your present fitness level, or to fit your personal fitness goals. When the time you choose to use is showing in the number screen, press the SELECT button.
Count Up Mode
In count up mode, the timer starts with zero and goes up.
