XE100 / XE200 / XE300 Elliptical
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 Dot Matrix has two display modes:
When you begin a program it will be in the Profile display mode. To the left of the dot matrix there
is a button labeled Display. Pressing this button once will switch the display to show a quarter mile
track. If the Display button is pressed again the Track indicator light, next to the Display button,
will start to blink. This indicates the display is in Scan mode. The display will switch back and forth
between Track and Profile mode every few seconds. To turn off the scan mode press the Display
key again. This will return you to the profile display mode.
The Message Window will initially be displaying Time and Distance information. On the bottom
left of the message window is another Display button. Each time this Display button is pressed the
next set of information will appear, four windows in all. In order: Time and Distance, Pulse and
Calories, Speed in RPM and MPH, Work Level and Watts. If the Display 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
Display button again will bring you back to the beginning.
To the right of the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar graph that shows your heart rate
as a percent of maximum. The XE Series 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 Message Window
will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute. The Bar Graph represents the
percentage of your maximum heart rate you are currently achieving.
NOTE: You must enter your age for the Bar Graph to be accurate. Refer to Heart Rate section for
details about these features and how they can help you work out more efficiently.
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.
The program keys also act as a Number Key Pad when you are in the data-setting mode. Under
