4. You now have the option to select a program or to select Quick Start, skip
Program Setup Mode, and enter Manual Mode.
To select a program, press a program key and follow the prompts. Upon
entering a program the LEDs flash, prompting you to adjust the appropriate
settings. This is referred to as Program Setup Mode. If the Quick Start key
is pressed now, all defaults for that program will be accepted. After 10
seconds, if no key has been pressed, the first default will be accepted.
After another 10 seconds the second default will be accepted and so on
until the last default. The program will not enter Active Mode until you
press the Enter or Quick Start key. If no key has been pressed for 20
seconds after displaying the last default, then the unit will return to the
Dormant Mode.
If you press the Quick Start key instead of choosing a program, you will
enter Manual Mode. NOTE: No prompts will occur in Manual Mode. While
in Manual Mode, customize your workout Resistance and Incline and
enter your Weight by pressing those keys.
IMPORTANT: Enter your actual weight. The Resistance
+ — keys
calculate the proper resistance for your weight. Your workout may feel too
easy or too difficult if you do not enter your actual weight. For the most
accurate calorie count, you must set your correct weight before beginning
your workout (including clothing).
NOTE: Press Enter after each adjustment.
When you enter Program Setup Mode or Manual Mode the unit will rock
slightly. This ensures free movement of the Arc Trainer.
5. The unit begins a countdown, “3...2...1” and sounds a tone for each count.
When it reaches one (1) it gives a longer tone. Depending on which
program and level you selected, the resistance may begin to increase and
the incline may rise or fall.
6. Observe the four displays:
The lower left display flashes the actual incline until the desired
incline is reached and then reverts to time. During your workout the
time will show in the format of minutes:seconds. If your workout
exceeds sixty minutes the time format will change to minutes only.
The lower right display shows the user’s current resistance.
The top center display begins showing your program profile at the
left side.
The center display shows statistics or adjustable settings. This scans
(every three seconds) through Distance, Calories, Mets and Strides
Per Minute. Press the Scan key to toggle this feature on or off.
NOTE: Heart Rate is scanned only when you are holding the contact
heart rate grips or using Polar compatible heart rate transmitter. See
Figure 1.
