1.2 NEW FEATURES

The Integrated LCD Console on the Total Body Trainer brings together the best LCD technology and the best

cardio equipment. It combines eye-catching entertainment with an interactive exercise experience.

NEW FEATURES ON THE

TOTAL BODY TRAINER INCLUDE:

• New Touchscreen Display: This integrated, intuitive touchscreen features built-in intelligence. This gives

exercisers the freedom to watch their favorite TV program and monitor their entire workout progress at

the same time, all on one screen.

See Section 2.2 Display Console Descriptions, Workout Progress.

• Ergonomic Viewing: The ergonomically-positioned viewing angle provides optimal comfort and reduces

glare. Plus the protective layer on the Touchscreen Display eliminates direct contact and preserves the

life of the LCD screen.

• Easy Start-up: It’s no longer necessary to pedal to get started. Instead, choose and set up a workout,

and begin pedaling when the workout begins.

See Section 4.2 Using the Workouts

• Improved Interface: The sharp screen image, and attractive graphics makes the screen easier to read

and to use. There are no complicated steps to setting up a workout—simply choose a workout, enter val-

ues and get started.

See Section 4.2 Using the Workouts

• New Help Files: Now, choosing a workout can be an informed decision. Simply select the question mark

on the workout selection screen to access help files, which give explanations of each of the workouts.

See Section 2.2 Display Console Descriptions, Workout Selection, Help

• Workout Flexibility: Choosing a different workout “on the fly” is as simple as selecting a button, and

choosing a new workout. And now there are two ways to change a workout parameter mid-

workout—either use the keys on the Control Panel, or use the buttons on the Touchscreen Display.

See Section 4.2 Using the Workouts, Changing/Ending Workouts, Switching Workouts “On the Fly”

• Better Monitoring: The Touchscreen Display shows all relevant workout statistics at one glance.

See Section 2.2 Display Console Descriptions, Workout Progress

• New Time Views: Lets the user choose the most motivating time display for them. Time can be viewed

as Elapsed Time, Remaining Time, or Hidden Time. Changing time views is as simple as touching a but-

ton.

See Section 2.2 Display Console Descriptions, Workout Progress, Elapsed Time.

• More Options for Managers: More ways for managers to monitor statistics, track usages, setup custom

workouts, and record personalized messages. Channel setup for the TV allows managers to control

which channels are displayed on the TV, how channels are numbered and dedicate channels for promo-

tional and security use.

See Section 5 System Options Menu

• Secure Channel: Lets the manager dedicate and secure a single TV channel. Apassword can be

assigned for access to a secure channel.

See Section 5.2 Configuration Menu, Secure Channel.

• Promo Channel: Lets the manager dedicate a single TV channel for promotional use.

See Section 5.2 Configuration Menu, Promo Video.

• FM Radio: Managers now have the ability to enable FM radio. Channel setup for FM Radio allows man-

agers to control which channels are available to a user.

See Section 2.2 Display Console Descriptions, Workout Progress, Elapsed Time.

• Marathon Mode: The new Marathon Mode option, when enabled, allows users to workout indefinitely.

See Section 4.2 Using the Workouts, Using Marathon Mode.

• User Language Selection: Managers can now configure the display to prompt a user for a choice of lan-

guage by which to interact with a program. Choose any combination of available languages to create a

1.3 S

ETUP

Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Total Body Trainer.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

The Total Body Trainer requires an AC power supply according to the electrical configurations

listed in the chart below.

NOTE: Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If the plug does not fit into an available

electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

HOW TO POSITION AND STABILIZE THE TOTAL BODY TRAINER

Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the Total Body Trainer to the location in

which it will be used. See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the footprint (product dimensions).

Allow one foot of clearance in front of the Total Body Trainer to allow for movement of the pedal

levers. It should be easy to mount the Total Body Trainer from the side.

After placing the Total Body Trainer in position, check

the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it. Any slight

rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Check

the front stabilizing feet to determine which foot does

not rest fully on the floor. Rotate the foot counter-clock-

wise to lower it. Recheck the stability and adjust again

as needed until the Total Body Trainer is stable and no

longer rocks.

Lock the adjustment into position by tightening the

jam nut against the stabilizer bar with an open end

17mm wrench.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO

workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

• Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout). Allows the user to

choose a predetermined length of time for the workout.

Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN

ZONE (only available for heart rate programs) and Marathon Mode (if enabled).

For Distance, Calories, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it

takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose

COOLDOWN from the Control Panel to go immediately into the Cooldown Phase, or choose

CHANGE WORKOUT to access a different program. For more information, see Section 4.2

Zone Training titled Why Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise?

• Level: Choose the programmed intensity level of the workout. Levels range from 0 to 25.

• Target Heart Rate: (heart rate workouts only) Gives a recommended heart rate* according to

age. For Fat Burn, the target heart rate is computed at 65% of the theoretical maximum

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the

FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117

ORKOUT PROGRESS

The Workout Progress screen opens automatically upon completion of the setup, signaling the user

to start the workout. The Workout Progress screen allows the user to monitor the progress of the

workout. It provides a visual representation of the workout as it proceeds and monitors Distance,

Calories, Watts, METs, Time, Level and Speed (depending on which workout is selected). From here

TIME, LEVEL, MODE (Aerobics or Reverse) and TARGET HEART RATE* can be changed at any

point during a workout. This screen also allows access to TV viewing.

N. MESSAGE AREA: Shows the user the workout type, prompts the user for needed information,

and explains concepts.

O. WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays the levels of intensity in a workout-in-

progress as proportional columns. The height of the column furthest to the left is proportional to

the current level of intensity. (When the TV is on it covers this window.)

*During a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME

HEART RATE workout, which requires the use of a Polar heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse

TM

system

sensors, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a flashing heart shape to request the user’s heart

rate signal. If the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE AREAdisplays the prompt, “NEED

HEART RATE- PLACE HANDS ON LIFEPULSE SENSORS OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP” and beeps

three times. If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is

converted to a MANUAL program.

P. MODE: Use Mode to choose Aerobics Mode or Reverse Mode.

• AEROBICS: Select this button to activate a workout mode in which the Message Area dis-

plays prompts that vary the workload and emphasize different muscle groups during the

workout. It can be used with any workout, except for Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart Rate Hill, Heart

Rate Interval or Extreme Heart Rate.
