Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of

 

the elliptical crosstrainer.

 

 

As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the

 

 

elliptical crosstrainer as desired by pressing the +

 

and – buttons. There are ten resistance levels;

 

level 10 is the most challenging. Note: After the

 

buttons are pressed, it will take a few

seconds for

 

the selected setting to be reached.

 

Follow your progress with the feedback modes

4 and the left bar graph.

When the con-

sole is turned on, the scan mode will be selected. As you exercise, the display will

show your cur-

rent speed, the elapsed time, the distance that you have pedaled, the current resistance level, the approximate number of calories and fat calo- ries you have burned. In addition, your heart rate will be shown when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: Each time the resistance level changes, the con- sole will show the resistance level for six sec-

onds. In addition, when a Smart program or a Heart Rate program is selected, the display will

show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.

In addition, the left bar graph will appear in the dis- play to show your exercise pace. As you increase

or decrease your pace, additional bars will appear or disappear on the bar graph.

If desired, you can select a single feedback mode for continuous display. Press the Display Mode button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time, Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Fat Cals. indicator appears in the display. Make sure that the Scan indicator does not appear.

5 Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 19) and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the console may not display your heart rate accurately.

If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal

contacts on the

Metal

handgrip pulse

sensor, peel off

Contacts

the plastic.

To

use the handgrip

pulse sensor,

 

place your

 

hands on the

 

metal contacts.

 

Your palms must be on the upper contacts and

your fingers must be touching the lower contacts.

Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is

detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the dis-

play will flash each time your heart beats. After a

moment, two dashes (– –) will appear and then your heart rate will be shown.

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue

to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note: When you first hold the handgrips, the display will show your heart rate continuously for 15 sec- onds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other feedback modes.

When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off.

If the pedals are not moved and the console but-

tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con- sole will automatically turn off to conserve

the batteries.
