Basic Guidelines for Setting Up the Equipment:

After removing the equipment from the packaging, place the equipment on a clean, level surface. Make sure the electrical cord easily reaches a grounded three-pronged outlet.
Important Electrical Requirements – 120V:
Your TRUE equipment requires a dedicated 120 volt, alternating current (AC), 20 amp grounded outlet circuit. This means nothing else can be plugged into the same circuit. Most power circuits are rated for this 120V AC 20 amp requirement, but you must ensure the equipment does not share the circuit with anything else.
Important Electrical Requirements – 220V:
Your TRUE equipment requires a dedicated 230 volt, alternating current (AC), 15 amp grounded outlet circuit. This means nothing else can be plugged into the same circuit. Most power circuits are rated for this 230V AC 15 amp requirement, but you must ensure the equipment does not share the circuit with anything else.
DANGER:
Do not use an extension cord or ungrounded outlet:
The ground helps prevent electrical damage to your equipment and enhances your safety by helping to prevent shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the equipment is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the unit if it will not fit the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

PROGRAMMING & OPERATION

WORK OUT PROGRAMM DESCRIPTION

Quick Start:
A workout in which the user controls all settings. The workout continues until it is ended by the user.
Note:
The user can adjust Speed and Incline manually via the Quick Access Keys on the Contact Heart Rate Pads or incrementally via the Quick Touch Speed and Incline keys on the Ignite console.
caution:
The safety key must be in place on the machine, and should be attached to the user’s clothing.

HEART RATE MONITORING:

The machine can monitor a user’s heart rate using either a Polar® compatible chest strap or the metal grips on the hand rails (called contact heart rate or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits the user’s heart rate to the machine via a radio signal, and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to extract the user’s heart rate.
Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:
Although this machine functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives valuable feedback on the user’s effort level. Chest strap monitoring also enables users to use Heart Rate Control (HRC), the most advanced exercise control system available. When users wear a Polar® compatible transmitter strap, the machine will display the user’s heart rate as a digital beats per minute (bpm) readout. The transmitter strap should be worn directly against the user’s skin, about 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Women should be careful to place the transmitter below their bra line. Initially the transmission signal for heart rate may be erratic or non-existent. Some moisture is necessary between the strap and the user’s skin for proper transmission. Sweat from exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to the workout if desired.
A Note on Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:
The chest strap produces a radio signal that the machine reads and registers as the user’s heart rate. The accuracy of a reading may be affected when outside interference is present.
Contact Heart Rate (CHR):
The CHR system will let the user monitor their heart rate without wearing a chest strap. When using the CHR system users should gently grasp the CHR pads with both hands. Within 30 seconds, the user’s heart rate should be displayed as a digital bpm readout (during the first 30 seconds the system is analyzing and locking in the user’s heart rate). Users should exercise with smooth body motions and breathe regularly. It is best to avoid talking while using the CHR system, as talking will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10 bpm. To ensure an accurate reading, the user’s hands should be clean, free of both dirt and hand lotions.
Note:
For increased safety and accuracy, the CHR system should only be used at speeds of 4 mph or lower (CHR readings are less accurate due to large muscle movements above this speed).
A Note on CHR Accuracy:
CHR monitoring may be less accurate than chest strap monitoring since the heart rate signals are much stronger at the chest. When using a HRC workout, it is best to use a chest strap because of the stronger and more accurate readings.
caution:
Do not use the contact heart rate grips as a handlebar during a workout.

IGNITE OPERATION

Workout Summary:
Workouts can be ended by pressing the Stop (A) button. Once a workout has ended, the console will display a Workout Summary, which will give the user an overview of their workout data including Time, Average Heart Rate, Max Heart Rate, Average Speed, Max Speed, Distance, and Calories. To clear the Workout Summary and return to the Home screen, press the Stop (A) button.

Exporting Workout Data to a USB Drive:
The Ignite console gives users the ability to export their workout data to a USB drive. When this option is enabled, the screen below will appear before the Workout Summary screen. To export the data, insert a USB drive into the console’s USB port and press the Up Incline Key on left contact heart rate grip. To skip exporting the data, press the Down Incline Key on the left contact heart rate grip and the Workout Summary screen will display.

ADVANCED CONSOLE FUNCTIONS:
