ODOMETER X 100—indicates the total number of steps accumulated on the climber over time, up to 999,900. This display appears with the TOTAL STEPS display. Use the odometer to track the amount of “mileage” your climber has on it. Note that you need to multiply the number that appears by 100.

TIME—functions like a stopwatch, giving you total exercise time per session, up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds. The TIME display starts or stops automatically when you start or stop a workout. You must press the RESET key to reset the TIME display to 0. (For more information about RESET, see the explanation under Keys.) Use the TIME display to keep track of how long you have exercised in a given session.

Note: If you pause during a workout, the internal clock continues to count and to display the time for another 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the screen saver feature takes over, saves your workout statistics, and shuts off the displays. If you return to your workout before 5 minutes elapse, the time display reverts to your actual workout time. Refer to Pausing Your Workout.

SCAN—alternates between the displays STEPS/MIN, TIME, TOTAL STEPS, TOTAL CALories, and PULSE every few seconds. When you press the RESET key or begin a workout by pressing the START/STOP key, the word SCAN appears on the display and indicates that you are in SCAN mode. If you only want one particular feature displayed, press the MODE key until the feature is highlighted. See MODE under Keys below.

PACER—appears in the bar graph on the left of the electronic display. You can select a pacer up to 150 steps per minute. When you maintain or exceed the pacer’s step rate, the bar stops blinking. The pacer sets a tempo for you to follow which provides motivation and helps you to maintain your exercise intensity.

TOTAL CALORIES—displays an estimate of the number of calories being burned during your workout. The estimate is based on a 150 pound (68 kg) person working out at your current steps per minute.

PULSE—shows your heart rate if you have installed the Precor receiver and put on a Precor/Polar chest strap or attached the pulse detector (Precor’s ear clip option) to the console. When you attach the receiver and put on the chest strap or plug the pulse detector into the console, a appears on the display at the bottom right corner.

Keys

START/STOP—starts and stops a workout session. However, the electronic console automatically begins displaying information when you move the stair arms. You could use this key to start or stop your workout when you want to keep your warm-up or cool-down sessions separate from your workout statistics.

MODE—specifies the information you want displayed; whether its STEPS/MIN, TIME, TOTAL STEPS, TOTAL CALories, PULSE or SCAN mode. Simply press this key repeatedly until information from the desired display appears.

PACER—sets a pace tempo. When you press this key the pacer appears in the bar graph on the left side of the display. To set the pace tempo or change the current pacer setting, press the PACER key until the desired step rate is highlighted. Refer to Setting a Pacer.

RESET—resets the displays on the electronic console to zero. Note that pressing this key does not reset the ODOMETER display. Using the RESET key is another way to keep your warm-up or cool-down sessions separate from your workout statistics.
