Console Operation
Safety lock
When the elliptical is powered on the resistance at the pedals will be set to the very highest
setting. This is a safety feature that makes sure that you have a stable platform to stand on and
the footpads won’t move suddenly while setting the console data. It also ensures that children
cannot operate the elliptical unsupervised and injure themselves by pedaling too fast.
You can turn this feature off and have the elliptical set to the lightest resistance at power-up by
entering the maintenance menu:
Press and hold down the Start, Stop and Enter keys. Keep holding the keys down for
about 5 seconds and the message window will display “ALTXXXX Engineering mode”
Press the enter key. Scroll down the menu to “Functions” and press the enter key. Scroll
down to “Safety” and press the enter key to toggle the setting to “OFF”. Press the stop key
twice to exit to the start-up display.
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
and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down buttons. The dot matrix
display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light
indicating a harder workout. The elliptical will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
Basic information
The
Message Window
will initially be displaying Speed information. Each time the Enter button is
pressed the next set of information will appear, four windows in all. In order: Speed in RPM and
MPH, Work Level and Watts. If the Enter button is pressed during the Level and Watts display the
Scan light will come on 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 Enter button again will bring you
back to the beginning.
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, 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
Stop/Reset
button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a
program will
Pause
the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or
any of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your
workout during Pause just press the Start key. If the Stop/Reset button is pressed twice during a
workout the program will end and the console will return to the start up screen. If the Stop/Reset
key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete
Reset.
During data entry for a
program the Stop/Reset key performs a
Previous Screen
function. This allows you to go back
one step in the programming each time you press the Stop/Reset key.
The
Program Keys
are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you
may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you
want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to
select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.
