5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets
o
f clear plastic on
the metal con-
t
acts on the hand-
grip pulse sensor,
remove the plas-
tic. To measure
your heart rate,
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor with
your palms resting
against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your
hands or gripping the contacts too tightly.
When your pulse is detected, one, two, or three
dashes will appear in the display, and then your
heart rate will appear. For the most accurate heart
rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 sec-
onds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate
for up to 30 seconds.
If the display does not show your heart rate, make
sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For opti-
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using a
soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals to clean the contacts.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan has high and low speed settings. Press
the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan speed or
to turn off the fan.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the console will pause. If the
pedals do not move for several minutes and the
buttons are not pressed, the console will turn off
and the display will be reset.
HOW TO USE A CROSS TRAINER PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
s
ole to turn on the console.
A
moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the display will light.
2. Select a cross trainer program.
To select one of the
nine cross trainer
programs, press
the Interactive
Cross Trainer
Programs button
repeatedly until
XTRAINER 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 appears in the display. The pro-
gram time and a profile of the resistance settings
for the program will also appear in the display.
After a moment, the voice of a personal trainer will
welcome you to the program and guide you
through the workout. To adjust the volume level of
the speakers, press the increase and decrease
buttons until the desired volume level is selected.
There are five volume levels.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into either 30 or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
target rpm (pace) setting are programmed for most
segments. (Note: The same resistance and/or tar-
get rpm setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.) During other seg-
ments, the console will prompt you to perform
strength exercises.
The resistance setting and the target rpm for the
first segment will appear in the center of the dis-
play for a few seconds. The resistance setting will
then be indicated by the height of the flashing col-
umn of the profile in the display. The resistance
settings for the next several segments will be indi-
cated by the heights of the columns to the right of
the flashing column.
When the first segment of the program ends, the
resistance setting and the target rpm for the sec-
ond segment will appear in the center of the dis-
play for a few seconds to alert you. The entire pro-
file will then shift one column to the left, and the
pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance
setting for the second segment.
