Operating Instructions
Control Panel and Remote Control
The elliptical trainer can be operated using the buttons on the main unit's control panel or the included remote control. The LCD display shows various exercise data.
This image provides a clear diagram of the control panel and remote, detailing the functions of each button, including Start/Stop, Mode selection, Speed adjustment, Direction change, and Data display (Time, Distance, Speed, Calories).
Modes of Operation
The EM-02 offers two primary operating modes: Automatic and Manual.
Automatic Mode (P1-P3)
In Automatic Mode, the machine automatically adjusts the rotation direction and speed over a 30-minute period. There are three preset programs (P1, P2, P3) to choose from, each offering a different exercise intensity and pattern. You cannot manually change speed or direction in this mode.
This image illustrates the difference between Auto Mode, which provides 30 minutes of automatic speed and direction adjustments, and Manual Mode, which allows for user-controlled functions and speeds.
Manual Mode (HR)
In Manual Mode, you have full control over the speed and direction of the pedals for a 30-minute duration. This allows for a personalized workout experience.
- Changing Speed: Use the 'Speed +' and 'Speed -' buttons on the control panel or remote to adjust between 5 speed levels (01-05).
- Changing Direction: Press the 'Direction' button to switch between forward and backward pedaling.

Non-Electric Mode (Manual Resistance)
The EM-02 can also be used without being plugged in. In this mode, the movement is driven by human power, not electric power. This provides a different type of resistance for your workout.
When unplugged, the pedal only supports backward movement. When plugged in, the pedals support both forward and backward pedaling. To pedal forward in non-electric mode, you need to manually push the pedals forward.
This video tutorial demonstrates how to engage the non-electric mode for resistance training, showing both backward pedaling when unplugged and how to enable forward pedaling when the device is powered.
Monitoring Your Progress
The LCD display provides real-time feedback on your workout:
- SCAN: Cycles through all metrics automatically.
- TIME: Duration of your workout.
- DISTANCE: Estimated distance covered.
- SPEED: Current pedaling speed.
- COUNTER: Total number of rotations.
- CALORIE: Estimated calories burned.
