tion incorrecte ou excessive de l'équipement. Life Fitness conseille VIVEMENT de

1.2 NEW FEATURES

The Integrated LCD Console on the Total Body Trainer brings together the best LCD technology and the best
cardio equipment. It combines eye-catching entertainment with an interactive exercise experience.

NEW FEATURES ON THE

TOTAL BODY TRAINER INCLUDE:

• New Touchscreen Display: This integrated, intuitive touchscreen features built-in intelligence. This gives

exercisers the freedom to watch their favorite TV program and monitor their entire workout progress at
the same time, all on one screen.
See Section 2.2 Display Console Descriptions, Workout Progress.

• Ergonomic Viewing: The ergonomically-positioned viewing angle provides optimal comfort and reduces

glare. Plus the protective layer on the Touchscreen Display eliminates direct contact and preserves the
life of the LCD screen.

• Easy Start-up: It’s no longer necessary to pedal to get started. Instead, choose and set up a workout,

and begin pedaling when the workout begins.
See Section 4.2 Using the Workouts

• Improved Interface: The sharp screen image, and attractive graphics makes the screen easier to read

and to use. There are no complicated steps to setting up a workout—simply choose a workout, enter val­ues and get started.
See Section 4.2 Using the Workouts

• New Help Files: Now, choosing a workout can be an informed decision. Simply select the question mark

on the workout selection screen to access help files, which give explanations of each of the workouts.
See Section 2.2 Display Console Descriptions, Workout Selection, Help

• Workout Flexibility: Choosing a different workout “on the fly” is as simple as selecting a button, and

choosing a new workout. And now there are two ways to change a workout parameter mid­workout—either use the keys on the Control Panel, or use the buttons on the Touchscreen Display.
See Section 4.2 Using the Workouts, Changing/Ending Workouts, Switching Workouts “On the Fly”

• Better Monitoring: The Touchscreen Display shows all relevant workout statistics at one glance.

See Section 2.2 Display Console Descriptions, Workout Progress

• New Time Views: Lets the user choose the most motivating time display for them. Time can be viewed

as Elapsed Time, Remaining Time, or Hidden Time. Changing time views is as simple as touching a but­ton.
See Section 2.2 Display Console Descriptions, Workout Progress, Elapsed Time.

• More Options for Managers: More ways for managers to monitor statistics, track usages, setup custom

workouts, and record personalized messages. Channel setup for the TV allows managers to control
which channels are displayed on the TV, how channels are numbered and dedicate channels for promo­tional and security use.
See Section 5 System Options Menu

• Secure Channel: Lets the manager dedicate and secure a single TV channel. A password can be

assigned for access to a secure channel.
See Section 5.2 Configuration Menu, Secure Channel.

• Promo Channel: Lets the manager dedicate a single TV channel for promotional use.

See Section 5.2 Configuration Menu, Promo Video.

• FM Radio: Managers now have the ability to enable FM radio. Channel setup for FM Radio allows man-

agers to control which channels are available to a user.

• Marathon Mode: The new Marathon Mode option, when enabled, allows users to workout indefinitely.

See Section 4.2 Using the Workouts, Using Marathon Mode.

1.3 S

ETUP

Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Total Body Trainer.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

The Total Body Trainer requires an AC power supply according to the electrical configurations
listed in the chart below.

NOTE: Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If the plug does not fit into an available
electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

HOW TO POSITION AND STABILIZE THE TOTAL BODY TRAINER

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

After placing the Total Body 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 Total Body 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.

ITNESS NETWORKING

One type RJ45 networking port (A) allows the Total Body Trainer
to be connected to a network, such as FitLinxxTMinteractive fit­ness network.

Fitness network: The network connection enables the con­sole to upload user workout statistics to a fitness network
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.

This port is located on the back of the console and is enclosed by a
removable cover. Any use of the port for other than its intended
purpose could void the product warranty.

* 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.

• Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout). Allows the user to

choose a predetermined length of time for the workout.

Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN
ZONE (only available for heart rate programs) and Marathon Mode (if enabled).

For Distance, Calories, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it
takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose
COOLDOWN from the Control Panel to go immediately into the Cooldown Phase, or choose
CHANGE WORKOUT to access a different program. For more information, see Section 4.2
