Entering a program/Changing Settings
Press each program key to scroll through the program selections. The profile for each program will
be displayed in the dot matrix window. Press the enter key to select a program and begin
customizing the settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the
Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your
workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default settings will be
used.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age
and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the
first time you use the Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either
your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
Programming:
Manual
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the
workload yourself and not the computer.
1. Press the Manual program button then press the Enter key.
2. The message window will ask you to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight setting
using the Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and
proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Age. You may adjust the age setting using the Up and
Down keys then press enter to continue.
4. Next is the Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.
5. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start
key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Stop key to go back one
level of the programming screen.
6. Once the program starts the elliptical will be set to level one. This is the easiest level and it is
a good idea to stay at level one for a while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load
at any time press the Up key; the Down key will decrease the workload.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message
window by pressing the Enter key.
8. When the program ends the message window will show a summary of your workout. The
summary will be displayed for a short time, then the console will return to the start-up
display.
Preset Programs
The Elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These
five programs have factory preset profiles for achieving different goals.
HILL
The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily
increase and then decrease during the program.
