HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM
Make sure that the power cord is plugged in.
Refer to step 1 on page 11.
Press any button on the console or move the
pedals to turn on the power.
Refer to step 2 on page 11.
Select one of the eight smart programs.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. To
select a smart pro-
gram, press the
Select Program
button repeatedly until a P-1, P-2, P-3, P-4, P-5,
P-6, P-7, or P-8 appears in the left display.
The profiles labeled P1 to P8 on the console
show the resistance and pace settings for the
smart programs. For example, profile P5 shows
that during program 5 both the resistance and the
pace will gradually increase during the first half of
the program, and then decrease during the last
half. Note: When you select a smart program, the
matrix will show a simplified profile of the program.
Start the program.
To start the program, press the Start Program
button or simply begin exercising. Each program
is divided into several one-, two-, three-, and four-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
pace setting are programmed for each segment.
(The same resistance setting and/or pace setting
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.)
The resistance
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. The
resistance settings
for the next five segments will be shown in the
columns to the right. When only three seconds
remain in the first segment, both the Current
Segment column and the column to the right will
flash, a series of tones will sound, and all resis-
tance settings will move one column to the left.
The resistance setting for the second segment
will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column and the resistance of the ellipti-
cal crosstrainer will automatically adjust to the sec-
ond setting.
The pace settings
for the program will
be shown by the
Training Zone bar.
The lit indicators in
the bar will show
your actual pace. If
an indicator to the
right of the lit indi-
cators flashes (see
drawing a),
increase your pace.
If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator flashes
(see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no
indicator is flashing, your pace matches the cur-
rent pace setting. Important: The pace settings
are intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual pace may be slower than the current
pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue until the resistance set-
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and the left display
shows that no time remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can adjust the
angle of the incline ramp with the Ramp Angle but-
tons. In addition, you can override the resistance
setting for the current segment, if desired, with
the Resistance buttons. However, when the next
segment begins, the resistance will automatically
adjust to the setting for the next segment. If you
stop exercising for several seconds, a tone will
sound and the program will pause. To restart the
program, simply resume exercising.
Watch your progress with the two displays.
Refer to step 5 on page 11.
Measure your heart rate, if desired.
Refer to step 6 on page 12.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 12.
