Manual Program

MANUAL

The Manual Program profile, available by pressing the MANUAL key, begins as a flat line. You control CrossRamp and resistance settings using the CROSSRAMP or RESISTANCE arrow keys. The program profile reflects changes in all subsequent columns. The blinking column indicates your position in the program. A cool-down period occurs automatically when you complete your specified time goal.

Note: An exception to the cool-down period exists. Refer to Advanced Programming and Troubleshooting for more information.

To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify your age during the setup prompts.

Interval Program

INTERVAL

The Interval Program, available by pressing the INTERVAL key, is one of the best for conditioning your cardiovascular system. The program raises and lowers your level of exertion repeatedly for the specified period of time.

Initially, the rest interval is set to a CrossRamp of 4 and a resistance of 1. The work interval is set at a CrossRamp of 10 and a resistance of 8. The display lets you know when the preset levels are about to change and it indicates the levels of the next interval.

While exercising, you can vary your strides per minute and change the preset ramp incline and resistance settings using the CROSSRAMP or RESISTANCE arrow keys. The settings are repeated throughout the remainder of the program. When you complete the program the CrossRamp and resistance settings return to their standard defaults. No settings, established during your exercise session, are saved.
