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 program after you complete it 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 new 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 workload 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 workload 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 first column will be blinking once more for building an Incline profile. Follow the same
procedure as in step 7 & 8 to build the Incline profile.
10. 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.
