Taking the Firefighter Fitness Test
If you want to take the Firefighter Fitness Test,follow these steps:
SELECT PROGRAM
Press the HRC button at any time to display the HRC programs selection screen. Scroll through the
program previews with center “+/-” keys and select the Firefighter Fitness Test by pressing NEXT.
The display will now ask you to enter your age.
ENTER YOUR AGE
Using the keypad or center “+/-” keys, select your age from 10-99 and press
ENTER, NEXT, or wait three seconds. This determines the test’s target pulse.
ENTER YOUR GENDER
Using the center “+” key, toggle between MALE and FEMALE to select your
gender. Once your gender is displayed on the center display, press ENTER,
NEXT, or wait three seconds.
***Note: Before pressing start, you will be prompted with the heart rate that the fitness test will target. This heart rate
calculation is derived from statistical heart rate capacity averages (see Heart Rate Monitoring). If you are uncomfortable
with the target heart rate displayed or feel discomfort at any point during the fitness test, stop the test.***
Press the button.
You must wear the heart rate transmitter strap during
the entire test. If the elliptical loses a heart rate signal
for more than 30 seconds, the test will be
invalidated and terminated.
This HRC fitness test is fully automated and
will increase in difficulty from segment to
segment until the user achieves the target
heart rate (85% of maximum heart rate).
Once you reach the target pulse, a 30
second countdown will follow and end
the test. Any keystrokes during the test
besides NEXT will invalidate and
terminate the test.
As soon as you begin, the Heart Rate
Status screen becomes available. This
screen shows your Target Pulse, Time,
Heart Rate Status, and Time in Zone.

The Cardio Trainer is equipped with onboard self-diagnostics. If the elliptical experiences any errors during operation, the
elliptical will display the error message and the option to further investigate by commencing the elliptical’s self-diagnostics
software.
When you choose the option to enter diagnostics you will be prompted with
a warning screen (shown below). After reading it, straddle the elliptical by
stepping on the traction strips on the sides of the running surface and press
NEXT.
The elliptical will now systematically test all of the individual components of
the elliptical. During some of its tests, it will prompt you with simple “Yes or
No” questions to assist with the diagnosis. Answer, the questions using the
center “+/-” keys when prompted.
Once the Self-Diagnostics has completed all of the tests, it will read one of
the two messages along the bottom: “No Errors Detected” or “Error
Detected, Contact Service Provider”.
Note: You can also manually initiate the self-diagnostics mode by holding the center
“+”,“-”, keys and then pushing START when the elliptical is off.
