Frequently Asked Questions - X-17 LifeSpan

How do I turn on the computer?

The computer turns on automatically when you begin pedaling. If no movement is detected for over 256 seconds, the display switches off but stores the odometer value. To wake it up, simply start moving again.

How do I set a target time, distance, or calories?

Press the MODE button to select the function you want (Time, Distance, or Calories). Then press SET to adjust the target value. Hold SET to increase faster. Once set, the display will count down from your target during exercise.

Why is my heart rate reading not accurate?

Hand pulse sensors require good, consistent contact on all four sensors. Your skin should be neither too dry nor too wet. Movement, static electricity, or tightening of hand muscles can cause noise. For best results, test while stationary and not pedaling. If hands are dry, moisten them slightly. Note: This data is a rough estimation and not for medical purposes.

What should I do if the display shows abnormal values?

First, reinstall the batteries. Remove them, wait a few seconds, and insert new ones with correct polarity. If the problem persists, check that all cable connections (computer cable to trunk cable) are secure. If still abnormal, contact support.

How do I clean and maintain the elliptical?

Clean the machine with a dry cloth. Do not use water or chemical cleaners. Lubricate moving joints (like pedal arms and handlebar pivots) with grease periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.

Can I use this elliptical for therapy?

No, this equipment is not suitable for therapeutic use. It is designed for indoor home fitness only. Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program, especially if you have medical conditions.

What are the safety precautions I should follow?

Read all instructions before use. Consult your doctor before exercising. Keep children and pets away. Use on a solid, flat surface with at least 2 meters of free space. Check that nuts and bolts are tight before use. Wear suitable clothing (no loose clothing). Stop immediately if you feel pain, chest tightness, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or nausea.

How do I adjust the resistance?

The resistance is controlled by an 8-position tension knob. Turn the knob to increase or decrease the difficulty. The lower-tension cable connects to the tension control. Refer to the assembly instructions for proper setup.

What batteries does the computer use?

The computer requires 2 AA batteries, not included. Only use non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types. Remove batteries if the product will not be used for a long time.

How do I get warranty service or support?

For warranty or support issues, email [e-mail]. Please include your proof of purchase and describe the problem. Visit www.lifespanfitness.com.au/warranty-repairs for full warranty terms.

Hand Pulse Technology

Lifespan Fitness products come equipped with hand pulse sensors which are used to pick up tiny EKG/ECG signals that run through the body when your heart beats. These electrical EKG/ECG signals are very small and that they must be amplified 1000 times to make the signal useful for the computer to display your pulse.

To ensure proper operation:

• The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four sensors
• The users skin cannot be too dry or too wet

Other factors that could affect the reading:

• Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace cycling and up to sprinting)
• Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical signals
• Static electricity charges from the air or from moving on the spin bike

EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and "Noise" factors that may affect the reading.

This will cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the heart rate changes. Too much noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no electrical signal in the hands are other factors that may affect pulse readings as well.

These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can cost upwards of \$3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient in a hospital is not pedaling on a spin bike.

To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while stationary, not pedaling, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will eliminate the movement and static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly (saliva works as a great conductor if this doesn't bother you).
