HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.
Fan Button Display Buttons FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and effective. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor. The console also offers six Smart programs.
The upper section of the large display will show the distance you have pedalled and the numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 21 for an explanation of fat calories). The display will change from one number to the next every few seconds. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will also show your heart rate (see step 5 on page 12).
