QUICK START

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just 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 pressing the Level Up or Down buttons. The dot

matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.

There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 5 levels are very easy workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.

BASIC INFORMATION

The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name. When in scan mode during a program, speed will be displayed for four seconds, then move on and display Watts (indication of workload). If 100 watts is displayed, you are doing enough work to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The data changes to Laps completed, Segment time, Max level. Pressing the Enter button again will bring you back to

the beginning.

The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will Pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any of

the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout during Pause, just press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program, the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a Previous Screen or segment function. This allows you to go back to change programming data.
