DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The innovative console offers a manual mode and

three pacer programs. The pacer programs are

designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by

pacing your exercise. The console also features six

monitor modes that provide continuous exercise

feedback.

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE

When you use a

pacer program,

two columns of

bars will appear

in the display.

The left column

will show a target

pace, which is

determined by

the program you

have selected;

the right column will show your actual pace. The target

pace will change periodically during the program; as

the target pace changes, simply adjust your pace to

keep both columns at the same height. Important:

The target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace

may be slower than the target pace, especially

during the first few months of your exercise pro-

gram. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is com-

fortable for you.

The three graphs on the console show how the target

pace will change during the pacer programs (see the

drawing at the left). Each graph is divided into ten

columns, and each column represents a two-minute

time period. The bars in each column show what the

target pace will be during that two-minute period. For

example, in the first column of graph 1, there is one

bar. This shows that during the first two minutes of

program 1, the target pace will be about 1.5 miles per

hour (see the scale at the left end of the graph). In the

second column, there are five bars. This shows that

during the second two-minute period, the target pace

will be almost 4.5 mph. Each pacer program is twenty

minutes long.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES

The six monitor modes provide continuous exercise

feedback. The modes are described below.

¥ SpeedÑThis mode shows your pace, in miles per

hour.

¥ TimeÑIf you select one of the three pacer programs,

this mode will count down the time remaining in the

program. If you select the manual mode, this mode

will count up the length of time you have exercised.

Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or

longer, the time mode will pause.

¥ DistanceÑThis mode shows the distance you have

completed, in miles.

¥ Fat calories (FAT CALS)ÑThis mode shows the

approximate number of fat calories you have

burned. (See BURNING FAT on page 12 for an

explanation of fat calories.)

¥ Calories (CALS)ÑThis mode shows the approxi-

mate number of calories you have burned. (This

number includes both fat calories and carbohydrate

calories.)

¥ ScanÑThis mode displays the calories, fat calories,

speed, time, and distance modes, for five seconds

each, in a repeating cycle.

Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on

the face of the console, remove it.

Actual Pace

STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION

Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ bat-

teries must be installed. (See assembly step 3 on

page 6 for installation instructions.) Follow the steps

below to operate the console.

Turn on the power

To turn on the

power, press

the on/reset

button or sim-

ply begin

exercising on

the elliptical crosstrainer. When the power is

turned on, the entire display will appear for two

seconds. The console will then be ready for use.

Note: If batteries were just installed, the power will

already be on.

Select one of the three pacer programs or the

manual mode

To select one

of the pacer

programs,

repeatedly

press the

program

button. The

program

indicator will

show which program you have selected. To select

the manual mode, press the program button until

the program indicator disappears. The programs

will be selected in the following order: program 1,

program 2 , program 3, manual mode.

Begin your workout

If you select-

ed the manu-

al mode, go

to step 4. If

you selected

one of the

pacer pro-

grams, two

columns of

bars will

appear in the display. The left column will show

one bar, showing that the target pace is about

1.5 miles per hour. The right column will show

your actual pace. Adjust your pace until only one

bar appears in the right column. As the program

progresses, the target pace will change periodical-

ly; as the target pace changes, adjust your pace

to keep both columns at the same height.

Remember, the target pace is a goal pace.

Your actual pace may be slower than the tar-

get pace, especially during the first few

months of your exercise program. Be sure to

exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Follow your progress with the monitor modes

When the

power is

turned on,

the scan

mode will

automatically

be selected.

One mode

indicator will

show that

the scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode

indicator will show which mode is currently dis-

played. Note: If you select a different mode, you

can select the scan mode again by repeatedly

pressing the mode button.

If desired, you can select the speed, time, dis-

tance, fat calories, or calories mode for full-time

display. To select one of these modes, repeatedly

press the mode button. The mode indicators will

show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the

scan mode is not selected.)

If desired, the display can be reset by pressing

the on/reset button.

Turn off the power

To turn off the power, simply wait for about six

minutes. If the pedals are not moved and the

console buttons are not pressed for six

minutes, the power will turn off automatically.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE

PEDALS

To adjust the

intensity of your

exercise, the

resistance of

the pedals can

be adjusted. To

increase the

resistance, turn

the resistance

knob clockwise;

to decrease the

resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

CROSSTRAINER

To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handle-

bars and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest

position (see the drawing at the right). Next, step onto

the other pedal. Center your feet on the pedals. Push

the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous

motion. Note: The crank arms beneath the hood

can turn in either direction; turn the crank arms in

the direction that is the most comfortable for you.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, allow the ped-

als to slowly come to a stop. CAUTION: The ellipti-

cal crosstrainer does not have a freewheel; the

pedals will continue to move until the flywheel

stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the

highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrain-

er regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. To

prevent damage to the console, keep liquid away from

the console, keep the console out of direct sunlight,

and remove the batteries when storing the elliptical

crosstrainer.

The elliptical

crosstrainer can

be cleaned with

a soft, damp

cloth. Be sure

to keep the

frame clean

where the

pedal wheels

move.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console does not function properly, the batteries

should be replaced. Refer to assembly steps 3 and 4

on pages 6 and 7. Remove the resistance knob,

remove the six screws attaching the console, and turn

the console over. Insert two new batteries into the

battery compartment. Make sure that the reed switch

wire is connected to the console. Reattach the con-

sole and the resistance knob.
