HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
The elliptical exerciser requires no batteries or
external power source. Power is supplied by a
generator while you are pedaling. To activate
the console, begin pedaling at a moderate pace.
After a few seconds, the console displays will
light. A tone will then sound and the console will
be ready for use.
Select the manual mode.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected and a
track will appear in
the display. If you
have selected a
program, reselect the manual mode by pressing
the Manual button.
Set a workout goal if desired.
If you do not wish to set a workout goal, go to
step 4.
To set a time, distance, or calorie goal for your
workout, press the increase and decrease buttons
below the Time, Distance, or Calories display. To
set a goal quickly, hold down the increase and de-
crease buttons. You can set one goal for each
workout.
For example, if
you plan to exer-
cise for 30 min-
utes, press the in-
crease and de-
crease buttons
below the Time
display until the display shows a goal of “30:00.”
Note: To set a pulse goal, see HOW TO USE A
HEART RATE PROGRAM on page 18.
Begin pedaling and change the resistance of
the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals
by pressing the One-touch Resistance buttons if
desired. Note: After the One-touch Resistance
buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the
pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
Monitor your progress with the displays.
The matrix—When
the manual mode is
selected, the matrix
will show a track
representing 1/4
mile. As you exer-
cise, the indicators
around the track will light in succession until the
entire track is lit. The track will then darken and
the indicators will again begin to light in succes-
sion.
The Resistance
display—This dis-
play will show the
resistance level of
the pedals.
The Speed
display—This dis-
play will show your
pedaling speed, in
revolutions per
minute.
The Time
display—If no time
goal was set, this
display will show
the elapsed time. If
a time goal was
set, the display will
show the time remaining in your workout. Note:
When a program is selected (except for the first
heart rate program), the display will show the time
remaining in the program.
The Distance dis-
play—If no dis-
tance goal was set,
this display will
show the distance
that you have ped-
aled, in total revolu-
tions. If a distance goal was set, the display will
show the distance still to be pedaled during your
workout.
