Operation
Quick Start Steps
1.Connect the AC Adapter to the bottom front of the machine. The Console beeps and "WELCOME" appears on the Display. Default mode sets to Manual.
2.Stand on the foot pedals. Keep the front of your shoes close to the top edge of the platform.
3.Position your hands at a comfortable location on the upper body Handlebars.
4.Push the START/STOP button.
5.Start walking. Let your feet follow the machine’s natural path.
Stopping Any Exercise Program
1.Push the START/STOP button to stop your workout. STOP mode shows on the Display.
2.Push the MEMORY button. The Display shows your workout results and ends the program.
Changing Directions
The Elliptical Trainer lets you move forward and back. To change directions, simply slow the pedals down until they stop, then switch directions.
Changing Levels and Resistance in a Program
Push the UP or DOWN buttons to increase or decrease resistance levels at any time in the current program.
Pausing an Exercise Program
1.Push the START/STOP button to stop your workout. STOP mode shows on the Display.
2.Push START/STOP again to resume the program where you left off.
Powering Down the Elliptical Trainer
Your Elliptical Trainer Console has an automatic shut-down (sleep mode) feature. It shuts down when not in use for approximately 4 minutes.
Using the Heart Rate (HR) Sensors
Locate the stainless steel HR sensors on the handlebars. Place your hands comfortably around the handles so that your hands touch both the top and the bottom of the sensors. Do not grip them too tightly or loosely. Both hands must make contact with these sensors for the computer to detect a pulse. Your pulse rate shows up on the Display after the computer senses four stable pulse signals. The rate updates after receiving every two signals. The computer uses your heart rate information in many of the software features.
Note: If your heart rate goes above 199, the "1" starts to flash. For example, a heart rate of 224 shows as 124—with a flashing 1.
After the initial contact HR (CHR) signal is detected, the computer begins a validation phase, which requires a good heartbeat signal within 10 to 15 seconds. Do not move or shift your hands during this time, or the validation phase will take longer. Several factors influence the computer’s ability to detect your HR signal:
•Movement of the muscles of the upper body (including the arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that interferes with the detection of the HR signal by the sensors. Movement of the hands while they are in contact with the sensors also produces interference. CHR detection may be limited to walking or slow jogging due to the extreme muscle artifacts and hand motion generated by a comfortable running style.
