HOW TO USE WORKOUT PROGRAMS
The stepper requires no batteries or external power source. Instead, power is supplied by a generator as you step. Note: To operate the SPEED buttons, you must step at a speed of 25 steps per minute or faster.
Follow the steps below to use a workout program.
1 Begin stepping to activate the console.
To activate the console, simply begin stepping. After a moment, the entire display will light for two seconds; the console will then be ready for use.
2 Select one of the six workout programs.
When the console is activated, the
manual mode will
be selected and the manual indica- tor will light. To select one of the workout programs,
press the SELECT WORKOUT button repeatedly until one of the six program indicators lights. Note: A moment after a program is selected, the pro- gram display will show the first six speed settings of the program (see step 3).
3 Begin stepping to start the program.
Each program is divided into sever-
al individual time
periods. Each peri- od is one, two, three, or four min- utes long. One speed setting is
programmed for each period. The speed setting for the first period will be shown in the flashing Current Period column of the program display.
The speed settings for the next five periods will be shown in the five columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period of the program, both the Current Period column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all speed settings will move one column to the left. The speed setting for the second period will then be shown in the flashing Current Period column and the stepper will auto- matically adjust to the second speed setting. The program will continue in this way until the speed setting for the last period is shown in the Current Period column and the last period ends.
Note: If the speed setting for the current period is too fast or too slow, you can manually override the setting by pressing the SPEED buttons. Every few times a button is pressed, an additional indi- cator will light or darken in the Current Period col- umn. (If any of the columns to the right of the Current Period column have the same number of lit indicators as the Current Period column, an additional indicator may light or darken in those columns as well.) If you manually override the speed setting, when the next period of the pro- gram begins, the stepper will automatically adjust to the speed setting for the next period.
Note: If you stop stepping for several seconds, the console will automatically turn off. To reacti- vate the console, simply resume stepping.
Watch your progress with the program display,
4 the training zone display, and the LED displays.
