DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The console has five independent displays to provide
continuous exercise feedback. The displays are
described below.
Time—This mode displays the amount of time that
you have exercised.
Speed—This mode displays your pace, in miles per
hour.
Distance—This mode displays the total number of
strides you have completed, in miles per hour.
Calories—This mode displays the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Pulse—This mode displays your pulse in beats per
minute when the pulse monitor is worn.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Before the console can be operated, two “AA” batter-
ies must be installed. If you have not installed batter-
ies, see assembly step 5 on page 5.
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE
If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of
the console, remove it.
1. To turn on the power, press the reset button or sim-
ply begin striding.
2. To use the pulse
mode, the pulse
monitor must be
worn. Plug the pulse
monitor into the jack
on the bottom of the
console. Rub your
left ear lobe several
times with your
thumb and index fin-
ger and then clip the
pulse monitor onto
your ear lobe. Slide
the metal clothes clip
onto your collar.
When your pulse is detected (after approximately
four seconds), the small heart in the right-hand cor-
ner of the pulse display will flash and your pulse will
be displayed.
WARNING:The pulse monitor is not
a medical device. Various factors, including the
user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The pulse monitor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends
in general.
If your pulse does not appear after four seconds,
make sure that the pulse monitor is plugged into the
console. In addition, make sure that the pulse moni-
tor is attached properly. It may be necessary to
reposition the pulse monitor a few times to find the
best position.
The pulse monitor is more accurate when used on
your left ear lobe and when you are standing still.
3. To reset the display,
press the reset button.
4. To turn off the power, simply wait for about five min-
utes. If the ski exerciser is not used and the con-
sole button is not pressed, the power will turn off
automatically.
