1.2 SETUP

Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer.

WHERE TO PLACE THE LIFE FITNESS CROSS-TRAINER

Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer to the location in which it will be
used. See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow one foot of clearance in front of the
Life Fitness Cross-Trainer to allow for movement of the pedal levers. It should be easy to mount the Life Fitness Cross­Trainer from the side.

HOW TO

STABILIZE THE

LIFE FITNESS CROSS-TRAINER

After placing the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it. Any slight rock­ing indicates that the unit must be leveled. Check the front stabilizing feet to determine which foot does not rest fully on
the floor. Rotate the foot counter-clockwise to lower it. Recheck the stability and adjust again as needed until the Life
Fitness Cross-Trainer is stable and no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment into position by tightening the jam nut

against the stabilizer bar with an open end 17mm wrench.

CHECK FOR POWER

The console is powered by a rechargeable 6-volt battery. Check the battery by pressing the START key. The console should
light up, and the MESSAGE CENTER should display a prompt to set up a workout. If this does not occur, mount the Life
Fitness Cross-Trainer and begin pedaling. The console should then light up, making it possible to program a workout. Pedal
for 10 to 20 minutes at 1.5 mph (2.4 kph) or faster during a workout to charge the battery. Afterwards, the pedal action during
workouts keeps the battery charged. If the console still does not light, contact Life Fitness Customer Service. See Section

6.5, titled How to Obtain Product Service, for more information.

FITNESS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING

Two interchangeable network ports allow the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer to be connected to a fitness entertainment sys­tem and/or a network, such as FitLinxx

TM

interactive fitness network.

• Fitness network: The network connection enables the console to upload user workout statistics to a fitness net-
work database or to download remotely stored information, such a pre-set workout program. See Section 4.2,
titled Using the Workouts, for information on logging onto a network.

• Entertainment: The network connection enables the console to power a third-party receiver for use with a ser­vice such as the Cardio Theater

®

entertainment system or the BroadcastVisionTMentertainment system.

These ports are located on the back of the console and are enclosed by a removable cover. Any use of the ports for other
than their intended purpose could void the product warranty.

2THE DISPLAY CONSOLE

2.1 DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW

The computerized display console allows the user to tailor a workout to personal fitness abilities and goals and to moni­tor progress. With this easy-to-use console, the user can track fitness improvement from one workout to the next.

2.2 DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS

This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the console. See Section 4, titled The Workouts, for
detailed information on using the console to set up workouts.

A START: Press this key to activate the console for programming a new workout. The activated console lights up and displays

“SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds and the user stops pedaling, the console
shuts down again.

NOTE: The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer ’s AutoStart feature also activates the console when the user steps on the pedals and
begins pedaling.

B ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console display messages.
C NUMERIC keypad: Use these keys to enter values, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate*, and intensity level.

While a workout is in progress, numeric keys can be used to set new intensity levels or change the target heart rate* in the FAT
BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE workouts. The ARROW keys

have a similar function, except that they change workout parameters by single increments.

D ARROW keys: Apair of UP and DOWN arrows is located on either side of the TIME/LEVEL window. When setting up a workout,

use either set of arrows to change workout parameters displayed on the console, such as length of workout, weight, age, target
heart rate*, and intensity level. During a workout, pressing the ARROWS on the right (LEVEL) side of display changes the target
heart rate for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE workouts or
the intensity level for other workouts.

Pressing the ARROWS on the left (TIME) side increases or decreases the workout duration. Pressing the arrows on the right
(LEVEL) side increases or decreases the intensity level.

NOTE: Whenever an arrow key is pressed during a workout, an increase (up arrow key) or decrease (down arrow key) is made
to the corresponding parameter (level). The number that appears reflects that change. For example, if the user is at level 6 and
presses the right up arrow key, the number 7 will appear, reflecting that the user has chosen a new level. If the change is desired,
press Enter to accept. If the change is not desired, the user has ten seconds to reset the level to the desired parameter, before
the unit accepts the changed value and makes the appropriate adjustments.

8

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO workout is 144. This workout
targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

E QUICK START: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout program. Once the

workout is in progress, use the ARROW KEYS or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to change the intensity level or workout duration as
desired.

F CLEAR: When programming a workout, press this key to clear incorrect data, such as weight or age, before pressing the ENTER

key. Pressing CLEAR during a workout stops it immediately, at which point the MESSAGE CENTER displays a summary of the
workout, including total time elapsed, total distance traveled, and total calories burned. Pressing CLEAR a second time causes
the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user for a new workout setup.

G FAT BURN: Press this key to select the FAT BURN program, which is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of

calories from fat.

H CARDIO: Press this key to select the CARDIO program, which is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardio-

vascular benefits and total calories burned.

I RANDOM: Press this key to select the Random program, which is a workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in

no regular pattern or progression.

J MANUAL: Press this key to select the Manual program, in which the intensity level remains the same unless it is manually

changed.

K ZONE TRAINING+: Press this key to select one of the workouts that target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate

to achieve maximum exercise results. The following options may be accessed with this key:

• HEART RATE HILL • TIME IN ZONE GOAL

• HEART RATE INTERVAL • FAT BURN (also accessible with FAT BURN key)

• EXTREME HEART RATE • CARDIO (also accessible with CARDIO key)

L PERSONAL TRAINER: Press this key for additional workout options, including customized workouts designed by a fitness club

trainer or staff member. See Section 5, titled Optional Settings for information on designing custom workouts. The following work­outs and goals may be accessed with this key:

• CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS • FIT TEST

• CROSS-TRAIN REVERSE • DISTANCE GOAL

• PERSONAL TRAINER (1-6) • CALORIES GOAL

M HILL PLUS: Press this key to select HILL PLUS workouts, in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The

following workouts may be accessed with this key:

• HILL • CASCADES

• AROUND THE WORLD • SPEED TRAINING

• KILIMANJARO • FOOTHILLS

• INTERVAL

N COOLDOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cooldown mode, which lowers the intensity level. Press the

COOLDOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cooldown mode. In this phase of a workout the
body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build up in muscles during a workout
and contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s Cooldown level according to the individual
user’s performance.

O WORKOUT PROFILE window: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels of intensity in a

workout-in-progress. The height of the first column on the left side of the window is proportional to the current level of intensity.
During a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE workout, which

requires the use of a Polar

®

heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a
flashing heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. If the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER dis­plays the prompt “NEED HEART RATE - PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not
receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL program.

P MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout, it displays statis-

tics about the progress of the workout:

• Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system sensors.

• Distance: the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).

• Speed: the pedaling speed or rate in miles per hour (or kilometers per hour if enabled).

• Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout.

9

If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each time the intensity level
changes during the workout:

• Calories per Hour: the rate of calories burned per hour.

• Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work.

• METs: effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a meta-
bolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.
