Custom User Defined Programs
There are two customizable User programs that allow you to build and save your own
workout. The two programs, User 1 and User 2, operate exactly the same way so there is
no reason to describe them separately. You can build your own custom program by
following the instructions below or you can save any other preset program you complete as
a custom program. Both programs allow you to further personalize it by adding your name.
1. Press the User 1 or User 2 key. The message window will show a welcome message.
If you had previously saved a program the message will contain your name. Then
press the Enter key to begin programming.
2. When you press enter, the message window will show “Name – A”, if there is no name
saved. If the name “David” had been previously saved the message window will show
“Name – David” and the D will be blinking. If there is a name saved you can change it
or you may press the Stop key to keep the name and continue to the next step. If you
want to enter a name use the Up and/or the Down key to change the first letter then
press Enter to save the first letter and continue to the next letter. When you have
finished entering the name press the Stop key to save the name and continue to the
next step.
3. The message window will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using
the Up and Down keys or the numeric key pad, then press the Enter key to accept the
new number and proceed on to the next screen.
4. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the Weight number using the
Up and Down keys or the numeric key pad, then press enter to continue.
5. Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.
6. Now you are asked to adjust the Max Level. This is the peak exertion level you will
experience during the program. The factory setting is level seven. Adjust the level and
then press enter.
7. Now the first column will be blinking and you are asked to adjust the level for the first
segment of the workout. When you finish adjusting the first segment, or if you don’t
want to change, then press enter to continue to the next segment.
8. The next segment will show the same level as the previously adjusted segment.
Repeat the same process as the last segment then press enter. Continue this process
until all twenty segments have been set.
9. The message window will then tell you to press enter to save the program. After saving
the program the message window says “New program saved” then will give you the
option to Start or modify the program. Pressing Stop will exit to the start up screen.
