ARNING

- Read all instructions before using this appliance.

DANGER

- T

o r

educe the risk of electric shock disconnect your elliptical fr

om the

electrical

outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work.

ARNING

- T

o reduce the risk of burns, fir

e, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the

elliptical on a flat level surface with access to a 110-volt, 15-amp gr

ounded outlet

with only

the elliptical plugged into the cir

cuit.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14A

WG OR BETTER,

WITH

ONL

Y ONE OUTLET ON THE END:



Do not operate elliptical on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet

and elliptical may r

esult.



Keep children away fr

om the elliptical. Ther

e ar

e obvious pinch points and other caution

eas that can cause harm.



Keep hands away fr

om all moving parts.



Never operate the elliptical if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the elliptical is not

working

properly

, call your dealer



Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.



Do not operate wher

e aerosol spray products ar

e being used or wher

e oxygen is

being

administer

ed. Sparks fr

om the motor may ignite a highly gaseous envir

onment.



Never drop or insert any object into any openings.



Do not use outdoors.



o disconnect, tur

n all controls to the off position, then remove the plug fr

om the outlet.



Do not attempt to use your elliptical for any purpose other than for the purpose it is

intended.



The hand pulse sensors are not medical devices. Their purpose is to pr

ovide you with an

approximate measur

ement in relation to your tar

get heart rate. Use of a chest

transmitter

strap is a much mor

e accurate method of heart rate analysis. Various fac-

tors, including the

user’

s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.

The pulse sensors ar

intended only as exer

cise aids in

determining heart rate tr

ends in general.



ear pr

oper shoes. High heels, dr

ess shoes, sandals or bar

e feet are not suitable for use

on your elliptical. Quality athletic shoes ar

e r

ecommended to avoid leg fatigue.

OPERA

TION OF YOUR CONSOLE

GETTING F

AMILIAR WITH THE CONTROL PANEL

POWER UP

When the A.C. power cor

d is connected to the Elliptical, the console will automati

cally

power up. If ther

e is no input to the console for 20 minutes the console will go to stand-by

mode. In stand-by mode the console display will tur

n of

f. T

o turn the

console on pr

ess

any key

When initially power

ed on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this

time all

the lights will tur

n on. When the lights go of

f, the

Message Center

will show

the softwar

version (i.e.: VER 1.0). The distance window shows the distance in

miles and the time

window shows the total hours of use.

The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the

start up display

. The dot matrix display will be scr

olling thr

ough the different profiles of the

ograms and the

Message Center

will be scr

olling the start up

message. Y

ou may

now begin to use the console.

QUICK

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console

powers up you just pr

ess the

Start

key to begin, this will

initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will

count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted

manually by pr

essing the Level Up or Down buttons. The dot

matrix display will have only the bottom r

ow lit at first. As you

increase the work load

mor

e r

ows will light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical will

get harder to pedal

as the rows incr

ease.

Ther

e are 20 levels of r

esistance available for plenty of variety

. The first 5 levels ar

very

easy workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good pr

ogr

ession for

de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 ar

e mor

e challenging, but the incr

eases in

esistance

om one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough as the levels

jump more dramatically

. Levels 16-20 ar

e extr

emely har

d and ar

e good

for short interval

peaks and elite athletic training.

BASIC INFORMA

TION

The

Message Center

will initially be displaying the Pr

ogram

name. When in scan mode during a pr

ogram, speed will be

displayed for four seconds, then move on and display Watts

(indication of workload). If 100 watts is displayed, you ar

doing enough work to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The data

changes to Laps completed, Segment time, Max level.

essing the

Enter

button again will bring you back to

the

beginning.

The

Stop

button actually has several functions. Pressing the

Stop

key once during a pr

ogram will

Pause

the pr

ogram for

minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any

the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a

great featur

e. T

o resume

your workout during

Pause

, just press the

Start

key

. If the

Stop

button is pr

essed

twice during a workout, the program will end and the console will display

your

orkout Summary (Total time, A

vg. Speed, A

vg. W

atts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If the

Stop

key is held down for 3 seconds or a thir

d time during the pr

ogram, the console will

perform a complete

Reset

. During data entry for a pr

ogram the

Stop

key performs a

evious

Scr

een or segment

function. This allows you to go back

to change

ogramming data.

PROGRAM

KEYS

The

ogram

Keys

e used to preview each pr

ogram. When you first turn the

console on you

may pr

ess each pr

ogram key to preview what the pr

ogram pr

ofile

looks like. If you decide that

you want to try a program, pr

ess the corr

esponding pr

ogram key and then pr

ess the

Enter

key

to select the pr

ogram and enter into the

data-setting mode.

The elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse

sensors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter

(see Using Heart

Rate T

ransmitter section) will start the

Heart

Icon

blinking (this

may take a few seconds). The

Pulse

Display

Window

will display your heart rate, or

Pulse in beats per minute.

The consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. T

o tur

n the fan on, pr

ess

the button

on the left side of the console.

PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE

Each of the pr

ograms 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 ar

e corr

ect.

ou will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering

your Age is necessary during the Heart

Rate contr

ol pr

ograms to ensure the corr

ect

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

mor

e correct Calorie

eading. Although we cannot pr

ovide an exact calorie count, we do want to

be as

close as possible.

CALORIE NOTE

: Calorie r

eadings on every piece of exer

cise 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 dif

fer

ent and bur

ns calories at a dif

ferent

rate. Some good news is that you will

continue to bur

n calories at an accelerated

rate for at least an hour after you have finished

exercising!

ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS

When you enter a program, by pr

essing a pr

ogram 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 pr

ess the

Start

key. This will bypass the

ogramming 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 Center

. If you start a pr

ogram without changing the settings, the default or

saved

settings will be used.

NOTE: Age and W

eight default settings will change when you enter a new number

. So the last Age

and

eight enter

ed will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and W

eight the

first time

you use the elliptical, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or W

eight

changes, or someone else enters a dif

fer

ent Age and Weight.
