Power up
The XE Series Elliptical is supplied with an external power supply. When power is

input to the console for 4 minutes the console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode
the console display will turn off. To turn the console on press any key
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self test. During this time all
the lights will turn on. When the lights go off the dot matrix display will show a software
version (ie: VER 1.0) and the message window will display an odometer reading. The
odometer reading displays how many hours the elliptical has been used and how many
virtual miles the elliptical has gone. The display will look like this: ODO 123 MI 123 HRS.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the
start up display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different profiles of the
programs and the message window will be scrolling the start up message. You may now
begin to use the console.
