10 Stationary Handlebars Place your hands midway between the top and bottom of the left and right arms on the stationary handlebars. Adjust your hands up and down until you find the position most comfortable for you. Bend your elbows slightly so that your arms are not hyperextended or “locked out”. Using the stationary handlebars during your workout will decrease the amount of work in your upper body and increase the amount of work in your lower body. CHANGING FOOT POSITIONS The generously sized foot platforms are 7”wide by 16” inches long, which provides workout stability and allows you to vary your foot position for different workout intensities. Begin with your feet in the most forward position and then move your feet to the position that feels most comfortable to you. The further back your feet are placed on the foot platforms, the greater the vertical height of the elliptical motion and therefore, the harder the workout. USING THE HANDLEBARS Your New Balance 5.5e comes with both dual-action handlebars and stationary handlebars. Using the Pulse Function on the Dual-Action Handlebars The pulse window on your computer works in conjunction with the pulse sensors found on the dual-action handlebars. When you are ready to read your pulse: 1) Place both hands firmly on the pulse sensors. For the most accurate reading, it is important to use both hands and to temporarily stop moving. 2) Look at your pulse window. The small heart will begin to blink. 3) Your estimated heart rate will appear in the window approximately 6 seconds after you grasp the pulse sensors. 4) Refer to the Target Heart Rate Zone chart found on page 17 of this manual. For additional information about the importance of working within certain heart rate ranges, see pages 15 and 16 – Measuring Your Heart Rate. 5) This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided. Dual-Action Handlebars Place your hands midway between the top and bottom of the left and right arms on the dual-action handlebars. Adjust your hands up and down slightly to find the position most comfortable for you. Bend your elbows slightly so that your arms are not hyperextended or “locked out”. Use a firm grip but try to avoid “white knuckles”. As your legs move in the elliptical motion, pump your arms back and forth as if you were walking. Using the dual-action handlebars will work your upper body in addition to your lower body. By using the dual-action handlebars, you are recruiting more muscles which will both elevate your heart rate and burn more calories than simply doing a lower body workout. OPERATING THE COMPUTER WARNING Do not plug AC Adapter into wall until computer is completely assembled. OPERATING THE COMPUTER WARNING Do not plug AC Adapter into wall until computer is completely assembled. on your computer is based on realistic expectations; however, your computer is not individually programmable for all necessary variables to accurately monitor actual calories burned. The computer will count up in 0.1 increments. After the display value reaches 999, it will reset to “0” and begin counting from 0.1 again. AGE: Your computer is age-programmable from 10 to 99 years when you choose Program 11 or Program 12. Note: This unit is not recommended for children. The age function is only adaptable to Program 11 or Program 12. If you do not set an age, this function will always default to age 25. PULSE (approximate): Your computer displays your pulse rate in beats per minute during your workout. Pulse sensors, located on the dual-action handlebars enable the user to read his/her pulse rate. By grasping the sensors and holding firmly, the display will read your pulse rate in the display window.Your pulse will continue to read as long as your hands stay on the pulse sensors. When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided. (continued on next page) WARNING The batteries must be installed as instructed on page 8. Do not carry batteries loosely, such as in a purse or pocket. The batteries may explode or leak and cause injury if installed improperly, misused, disposed of in a fire or recharged.
