Quick Start; Basic Information - Spirit CE 900 LED Benutzerhandbuch

QUICK START

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start
key to begin. This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from
zero, all workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by
pressing the Up and Down buttons. The dot matrix display will show just the bottom row lit. As
you increase the workload more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical trainer
will get harder to pedal as the rows increase. The dot matrix has 24 columns of lights and each
column represents 1 minute. At the end of the 24th column (or 24 minutes of work) the display
will wrap around and start at the first column again.
There are 40 levels of resistance – displayed as 10 rows of lights – available for plenty of variety.
The first 10 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set to a good
progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 10-20 are more challenging but the increases from
one level to the next remain small. Levels 20-30 start getting tough as the levels jump more
dramatically. Levels 30-40 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite
athletic training.

BASIC INFORMATION

The Dot Matrix, or Profile Window, will display the workout Profile. The Message window
displays pertinent exercise data. There is a Strides per Minute window for pedal speed and a
Level window indicating the resistance level. A Heart Rate data window and bar graph show how
hard you are working and a lap counter provides distance information.
The Message Window will initially be displaying Watts, Time Elapsed, Calories and Distance
information. On the left of the Message Window is a button labeled Scan. When the Scan button
is pressed the next set of information will appear: METs, Time Remaining, Calories/Hour and
Strides (total stride count). The Scan mode is activated by pressing the Scan button, and the
Message Window will show each set of data for four seconds then switch to the next set of data
in a continuous loop. Pressing the Scan button again will bring you back to the beginning.
To the right of the Profile Window is a Heart Icon, the Heart Rate number display and a Bar
Graph. The elliptical trainer has a built-in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand
pulse sensors, or wearing a heart rate chest belt transmitter, will start the Heart Icon blinking (this
may take a few seconds). The Heart Rate window will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats
per minute. The Bar Graph represents the percentage of your maximum heart rate you are
currently achieving.
NOTE: You must enter your age during program setup for the Bar Graph to be accurate.
The Stop key button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program
