Introduction

Congratulations! You’ve made a very smart investment! Your Cardio Trainer elliptical is a high-quality fitness tool that will
give you years and years of fitness benefits.

One of the great things about your new ElliptiMill is that it uniquely monitors your workout intensity in “treadmill terms”.
Meaning, if your speed readout displays 7 mph, you are exerting the same energy as running 7 mph.

Regardless of the application, unpleasant weather is not an obstacle. Cold, windy, wet days will never discourage you again,
nor will the heat and humidity of the summer months. If you’re the type of person that likes to do two things at once, now
you can watch your favorite program on TV or keep an eye on your kids and take care of your health at the same time.

Your ElliptiMill was a smart purchase, but you already knew that, so let’s move on and get started.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Be sure to familiarize yourself with this manual. Look it over carefully. Be sure you understand the control panel operation
before using the elliptical.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Fill out your warranty registration card and mail it in today. Landice backs your elliptical with a strong warranty.
For the factory to respond to any problems you may have, we need your warranty information on file. Do it today.

Landice will send you a complimentary Landice T-shirt upon receipt of your warranty registration card.

SELECTING A LOCATION

Place the elliptical in a climate-controlled room.
Failure to do so may effect warranty.

Allow a minimum clearance of 6 inches on each side of the elliptical.
Allow a minimum clearance of 1 foot at the rear of the elliptical.

Failure to leave ample clearance around the elliptical could result in the user becoming trapped between the mechanism and
the wall should the user accidentally trip and fall while exercising.

Be sure the line cord has plenty of slack and does not get pinched underneath the elliptical. Make sure the elliptical is
plugged into a dedicated line.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Following are some things you should do before you start to exercise on your elliptical:

Press START to power up the elliptical and light up the displays. The starting effort level is set to
Level 1.

Press PAUSE to stop your workout clock, all statistical information will be preserved. When you are
ready to continue, press START to resume your workout.

Pressing OFF will shut down the elliptical. All current statistical information will be cleared.

To change effort level:
Hold EFFORT “+” key down to increase effort level.

Hold EFFORT “-” key down to decrease effort level.

Press NEXT at any time to choose the display screen that best suits your workout.

To use the built-in workout programs:

Press PROGRAMS at any time to display the programs selection screen. Scroll through built-in and
user-defined program previews with center “+/-” keys and select the program that best suits your
desired workout by pressing NEXT. You will now be asked to enter the program’s specific parameters
(Maximum Effort, Program Time, etc…). Use the numeric keypad and the center “+/-” keys to select
the desired values and press START to begin the program.

To use the heart rate controlled programs:

Press HRC at any time and choose either a built-in or user defined cardio program. The heart rate
control programs automatically adjust the effort level in order to maintain a constant heart rate.

To return to manually controlling the elliptical at any time:

Press MANUAL button at any time and the elliptical is at your command to adjust the effort level.

MANUAL CONTROL

The Cardio Trainer begins a user-defined workout via the Manual Mode. While in the Manual Mode
the elliptical is at your command. There are no time limits and no program parameters to enter.
Changes in effort level will only happen when you make them happen by pressing one of the buttons.
You can get back to the Manual Mode at any time by simply pressing the MANUAL button.

NUMERIC KEYPAD

The keypad is an excellent feature that allows you to spend less time pressing buttons and more time
enjoying your workout.

5 BUILT-IN PROGRAMS

The Cardio Trainer offers five built-in programs to help you attain your fitness goals. These programs
take you through a predetermined twenty-segment effort level profile but at the same time allow you
to override each segment to tailor the program to your specific needs.

5 USER-DEFINED PROGRAMS

The Cardio Trainer allows you to create your own custom programs as you go. Any manual changes
(effort level) you make during your user-program will be saved and stored. You can also create and
modify the user-program using the elliptical’s Edit Mode.

3 SPECIFIC GOAL PROGRAMS

Specific Goal Programs are designed to motivate your fitness goals in a variety of different ways.
Before your workout, select a Time, Distance, or Calorie goal. During your workout you will be
updated with real-time statistics reflecting your progress toward your specific goal.

The Cardio Trainer ElliptiMill combines a versatile liquid crystal display (LCD) with a variety of program options including
multiple heart rate control programs. These features and options combine to offer an exciting and fun workout so you can
reach your fitness goals.

HEART RATE CONTROL

The Cardio Trainer comes standard with contact grips and transmitter strap, which are used in
conjunction with any of the 4 Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs provided. The first two
standard heart rate control programs maximize workout time by directing the elliptical to
automatically change effort level in order to maintain the targeted heart rate(s) for the duration of the
program. Furthermore, the two User HRC programs allow you to create separate custom HRC
programs. Each HRC program is broken down into 20 programmable segments for more variety
in your heart rate controlled workouts.

3 FITNESS TESTS

The Cardio Trainer also includes three different programs that accurately measure your fitness level.
The Balke and Fire Fighter Fitness Tests use HRC to monitor your heart and how it reacts to speed
and effort level changes through a specific protocol. Based on your age, gender, and cardiovascular
performance, you will receive a fitness rating upon completion. On the other hand, the Army 2 Mile
Fitness Test is a manually controlled 2 mile test. Based on your age, gender, and completion time, you
will receive a fitness score upon completion.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS

If the Cardio Trainer ever malfunctions, it has the ability to seek out and self diagnose the problem,
clearly displaying it in detail in the center LCD. This feature aims at minimizing elliptical down time,
helping you maintain your fitness goals.

You will be prompted with self-diagnostics as soon as the elliptical detects any errors. However, you
can also manually launch self-diagnostics by pressing the center “+”, “-”, and START button at the
same time while the elliptical is off.

ENGLISH/METRIC MODE

The Cardio Trainer display comes standard in English units and can be changed to display metric
units by pressing MANUAL, PROGRAMS, and START simultaneously while the elliptical is off. Then
press OFF. Repeat the same steps to return back to English units.

It’s about options:

Make sure you read and understand this owner’s manual. Now you are ready to begin.

SET YOUR STRIDE

Prior to your workout, check to see what stride setting the elliptical is currently set at.
The current stride setting is the number (17, 19, 21 or 23) that is located directly
behind the positional arrowhead.

To change it, loosen the black knob and red T-handle (1/4 turn will do). While pulling
the black knob, slide the positional arrowhead up or down grabbing the red T-handle.

Be sure to retighten both knobs and T-handles prior to commencing your workout.

Start by standing on the rear step and stepping onto each foot pedal.

Press the button. The displays will power up and the effort level will default to Level 1.

MANUAL MODE

Upon startup the elliptical enters Manual Mode. In this mode, you control all of the elliptical functions. Any changes in effort
level will be a direct result of you touching the control panel.

ENTER YOUR WEIGHT

Press and use the numeric keypad or the center “+/-” keys to dial in your weight.

Entering your weight is crucial for Calorie and “running” speed calculations.

ENTER YOUR AGE

Press and use the numeric keypad or the center “+/-” keys to dial in your age.

Entering your age will generate an age based weight loss target pulse (see Heart Rate Monitoring).

You can see your target pulse at any time by pressing until you bring up the Heart Rate Status Screen
(shown below).

Your target pulse is displayed at the top of the screen. You can adjust this number higher or lower by pressing the
center “+/-” keys.
