CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE The revolutionary console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. While you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can also measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor.
4 HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE The upper left corner of the display will show the elapsed time. Note: When a program is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time. Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic. 1 Follow your progress with the display. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. A moment after you begin pedaling or press a button, the display will light.
The console has three backlight options. The “On” option keeps the backlight on while the console is on. To conserve the batteries, the “Auto” option keeps the backlight on only while you are pedaling. The “Off” option turns the backlight off. To select a backlight option, first press and hold down the Certified Personal Trainer Programs button for several seconds. Next, press the increase button to select the desired backlight option.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for the current segment. When an upward arrow appears in the display, increase your pace. When a downward arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace. When no arrow appears, maintain your current pace. HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM 1 Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. A moment after you begin pedaling or press a button, the display will light. 2 Select a smart program.
4 HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM 1 To use a heart rate program, you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 23 for information about the optional chest pulse sensor). Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not display your heart rate accurately. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. A moment after you turn on the console, the display will light.
As you pedal, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. The program will continue in this way until the last segment ends. To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will begin to flash in the display.
A block composed of four or five Complete Row black squares will slowly move downward until it reaches the bottom of the arena. Another block will then move downward. There are blocks of eight different shapes. As each block falls, you can move it to the left or right using the left and right buttons on the left controller. In addition, you can rotate the block counterclockwise or clockwise using the left and right buttons on the right controller.
When the game ends, the display will show your final score and the level of play that you reached. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset. If desired, press and hold down the right button on either controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is one of the four highest, the display will prompt you to enter a name consisting of three letters or digits.
Between the drones and the laser blaster are five shields. You can hide the laser blaster below a shield if desired. However, each time a shield is hit by a laser, a piece will be vaporized. HOW TO PLAY THE CALORIE DESTROYER GAME The Calorie Destroyer game is a fast-paced game that pits you against a squadron of laser-firing drones. In addition to the console buttons, you will use the fourbutton game controllers on the handlebar to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the Calorie Destroyer game.
THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR The optional chest pulse sensor provides hands-free operation and continuously monitors your heart rate during your workouts. To purchase the optional chest pulse sensor, call the telephone number on the front cover of this manual. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise. WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.
