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 the time, distance or calorie goal. Refer to Exercise Session.

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. To change the workout time, press the TIME +/– key. Refer to Changing the Workout Time.

Interval Programs

INTERVAL
