Modes

Manual, programs and the timer

Set the plate on a hard, level floor with room around it, plug the cord into the side of the deck and switch the power on at the plate. The console lights up and the remote takes over from there: point it at the display, not at your feet.

You choose between running it by hand and letting a program run it. By hand, the plus and minus keys move the speed one step at a time across 120 steps, and the 30, 60 and 90 keys jump straight to those speeds. The Program mode key steps through P1 to P5, and each program changes the speed by itself while the timer, set from 1 to 15 minutes, counts down.

Prefer to see it? The speed guide on our home page shows what each zone feels like, and the guide to using a plate turns it into a first month. Every color of the SoftGym range runs on the same remote.

Questions

Questions about the SoftGym manual

How do you change programs on your SoftGym plate?

Press the Program mode key on the remote. The display shows P1 to P5, the five automatic programs, and each one changes the speed by itself while the timer runs. The speed keys take you back to running it by hand.

What do the 30, 60 and 90 keys on your SoftGym remote do?

They jump straight to speed 30, 60 or 90, so you do not have to press the plus key dozens of times. From there you fine-tune with plus and minus.

How do you set the SoftGym timer?

Use the time keys on the remote before you start. You can set anything from 1 to 15 minutes, and the display counts it down.
