each program key is a number. If you are setting new data, such as Age, weight etc., you can use
these keys to enter the numbers quickly.
The XE series consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, flip the
switch on the right side of the console case.
Programming the console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your
needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will
be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age ensures that the Heart Rate bar graph
shows the correct number. Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate control programs to
ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be
too high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading.
Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is
in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is
different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn
calories at about the same rate as during exercise for 20-30 minutes after you have finished
exercising!
Entering/Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then enter key, you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just
press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of
your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings the default, or saved,
settings will be used.
The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 150 Lbs., Time = 30:00, Max Level, each
program has a different maximum work level: Hill = 7, Fatburn = 5, Cardio = 7, Strength = 8,
Interval = 7.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last
Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and
Weight the first time you use the Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out
unless either your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
Manual
The Manual program works as the name implies; manually. This means that you control the
workload yourself and not the computer. To start the Manual program follow the instructions below
or just press the Manual button then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message
window.
