Programming the console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to
suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are
correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during
the Heart Rate control programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your
Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you. Entering your Weight
aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact
calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment,
whether it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant
only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure
your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is
because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is
that you will continue to burn calories at about the same rate as during exercise for 20-30
minutes after you have finished exercising!
Entering/Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then enter key, you have the option
of entering your own personal 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, or saved, settings will be used.
The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 155 Lbs., Time = 30:00, Max Level,
each program has a different maximum work level: Hill = 7, Fatburn = 5, Cardio = 7,
Strength = 8, Interval = 7.
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.
Manual
The Manual program works as the name implies; manually. This means that you control the
work load yourself and not the computer. To start the Manual program follow the instructions
below or just press the Manual button then the Enter button and follow the directions in the
message window.
1. Press the Manual key then press the Enter key.
2. The message window will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using
the Up and Down keys or the numeric key pad, then press the Enter key to accept
