Introduction

Your unit is equipped with a programmable computer to help you track your progress and motivate you to reach your fitness goals.

This computer provides different programs designed to tailor to your fitness goals. Simply choose the program you like, set the time limit and begin exercising. Your computer will then show your approximate pulse, approximate calories burned, elapsed time, speed and distance traveled.

Functions and Features

QUICK START BUTTON: Allows you to start the computer without selecting a program. TIME automatically begins to count up from zero.

Use the ▲ UP and ▼ DOWN buttons to adjust the resistance.

TIME: Shows your elapsed workout time in minutes and seconds. Your computer will automatically count up from 0:00 to 99:59 in one second intervals. You may also program your computer to count down from a set value by using the ▲ UP and

DOWN buttons. If you continue exercising once the time has reached 0:00, the computer will begin beeping, and reset itself to the original time set, letting you know your workout is done.

SPEED: Displays your workout speed in miles per hour.

DISTANCE: Displays the accumulative distance traveled during each workout up to a maximum of 99.9 miles. The distance will be displayed in tenths of a mile.

CALORIES (approximate): Your computer will estimate the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout. Calorie expenditure on your computer is based on realistic expectations; however, your computer is not individually program- mable for all necessary variables to accurately monitor actual calories burned. The computer will count up in 0.1 increments. After the display value

reaches 999, it will reset to “0” and begin counting from 0.1 again.

AGE: Your computer is age-programmable from 10 to 99 years when you choose all programs except Program 8. When using Program 8 you will set Target Heart Rate instead of Age.

Note: This unit is not recommended for children.

If you do not set an age, this function will always default to age 30.

PULSE (approximate): Your computer displays your pulse rate in beats per minute during your workout.

Pulse sensors, located on the Swing Arms enable the user to read his/her pulse rate. By grasping the sensors and holding firmly, the display will read your pulse rate in the display window. Your pulse will continue to read as long as your hands stay on both of the pulse sensors. See Heart Rate Chest Strap and Receiver section on page 13.

When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided.

Buttons and Definitions

ENTER: This button allows users to select the Program, Time, Distance, Age, Calories, (Target Heart Rate Program 8 only).

START: This button allows the user to STOP or START exercising. (By holding this button for two seconds the user can reset all values to “0”). The computer will turn off automatically after approximately 4.5 minutes of non use. All values will then be reset to “0”.
