Starting a program
Quick Start
After the console powers up you may press the Start key to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted manually by rotating the ENTER button. Distance and Calories will accrue, starting from zero.
The Calorie window will switch between Calories and Watts every 6 seconds. The Calorie reading shows total Calories burned and is an approximate number. The Watt reading indicates how much work you are doing. If the Watt reading is 100, this means you are doing enough work to light a 100 watt light bulb.
The bottom left data window will switch between RPM and Speed every 6 seconds. RPM is your actual pedal rotation speed, and the Speed readout is in MPH, indicating approximate road speed as if pedaling a bicycle in 7th gear.
The Distance window shows distance traveled, based on pedal speed, in miles. The Pulse window will display your heart rate in beats per minute if you are holding the heart rate hand sensors, or wearing a chest strap transmitter.
Manual
Rotating the ENTER key, highlight the Manual icon at the top of the display and press Enter key. The profile will be blinking and you may rotate the ENTER key to adjust the program work level and then press Enter. The Time window will now be blinking. Use the ENTER key to adjust the program Time and then press Enter. The Distance window will now be blinking and you can adjust a target Distance using the ENTER key then press Enter. Calories will now be blinking, repeat the same process as above to set then press Enter. The Watt icon will be blinking. If you choose to set the Watts then the machine will automatically adjust the workload to maintain continuous work. What this means is that if you set the Watt to 100 the machine will try to keep you working at a rate of work that equals 100 Watts (or working at a rate that will keep a 100 Watt light bulb burning). Watts are determined by the amount of work you are doing. On the Elliptical this means the speed you are pedaling at combined with the workload of the machine.
In Watt mode, if you change your speed the machine will automatically change the workload to maintain the same Watt level. If you pedal faster the workload will decrease and if you pedal slower the workload increases.
After adjusting all the parameters, press Start to begin your workout.
Preset Programs
There are 12 preset programs to choose from. After power up, or reset, rotate the ENTER key to highlight the Program icon. Press the Enter key to enter the program mode. The display will show P1, for two seconds, then change to the P1 program profile. You may keep rotating the ENTER key to scroll through the 12 programs. When you see a program you want, press the Enter key to enter. At this point you may press start to begin the program with the default settings or you may customize the program.
