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. Your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate control program 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.
NOTE ON CALORIES VALUE: 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 an accelerated rate for at least
an hour after you have finished exercising!
ENTERING A PROGRAM & CHANGING SETTINGS
When you enter a program (by pressing a program key and then Enter key) you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to work out without those personal settings, just press
Start key. This will bypass the entering section 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 pre-saved settings will be used.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last age and
weight values entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your age and weight the first
time, 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 allows you to control the workload manually. To start the Manual program, follow the
instructions below or just press the START key.
1. Press the Manual key then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Window will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Up and
Down keys, then press the Enter key to confirm and proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the Weight number using the Up and
Down keys, then press Enter to continue.

5. Now you are finished with the setting procedure and you may begin your workout by pressing the
Start key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.
6. The program automatically starts at level 1. This is the easiest level and it is a good idea to stay at
level 1 for a while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load at any time press the Level Up
key; the Level Down key will decrease the workload.
7. During manual program you may press Enter to scroll through the data in message window.
