2 Getting Started
AA
2.1 Wireless Heart Rate Monitoring
The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed
against the skin, transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the
chest strap (A) that the user wears during the workout. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart
rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However it functions properly
through a thin layer of wet clothing. The electrodes are two grooved surfaces on the underside of
the strap, and must remain wet to accurately transmit the electrical impulses of the heart back to the
receiver. To use, first moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles
as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.
Electrodes must be wet to work properly. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten, grasp the center of
the strap, pull it away from your chest to expose the electrodes, and moisten. See diagram below for
correct positioning of the strap.
Note: Using the wireless heart rate telemetry chest strap will provide more accurate heart rate
readings than the hand pulse sensors.
Note: To ensure the highest performance, use the wireless chest strap that was provided with the
product.
2.2 Contact Heart Rate
When using Contact Heart Rate make certain to grasp sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart
rate seems substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors until heart rate
disappears. Dry hands and grasp sensors again until heart rate seems accurate. If this does not
work you may need to slow the machine to get an accurate reading. We recommend, for safety and
accurate heart rate readings, that the user stand on the side rails when attempting to monitor heart
rate with contact electrodes.
Note: The contact heart rate system may be less or more accurate with different individuals.

2.3 Heart Rate Zone Training®
Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor
the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the LIFE FITNESS
Heart Rate Zone Training® approach to exercise.
Zone Training identifies an exerciser’s ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing
cardiovascular fitness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value
depends on the workout. The maximal heart rate formula is defined by the American College of
Sports Medicine’s “Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription”, 8th Edition, 2009. HRmax equals
to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.
HR MAX = 206.9 - (0.67 *age)
The LIFE FITNESS products feature these exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the
benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training+ exercise:
Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a
workout program.
The Heart Rate Training workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the telemetry heart rate chest
strap, or grip the contact heart rate sensors, to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart
rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the incline or level to maintain the target
heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

4 How to Use the Track Connect Console
The Track Connect Console was designed to make navigation as simple as possible by using special
colors and keys. The console display was designed to reduce toggling between workout information.
Each piece of workout feedback, including level, time and speed, has its own dedicated window.

function. See Section 2.1, The Heart Rate Telemetry Chest Strap. Life Fitness
4.5 Target Heart Rate Display
Target heart rate is a percentage of a user’s maximum heart rate. The goal is to target a range that
enables one’s heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. The console calculates
target heart rate by taking the maximum heart rate and multiplying it by an intensity level. Maximum
heart rate = 206.9 - (.67 x user’s age). Target heart rate is shown continuously during a Heart Rate
Training workout. The target heart rate can be changed at any point during the workout.
Example: User’s Age is 45.
177 x 65% = 115. 115 is the optimal target heart rate for weight loss and fat burning.
177 is the Maximum Heart Rate for a 45 year old.
206.9 - (.67 x 45) = 176.75.

4.6 Workout Profile Display
The workout profile graphically displays the intensity of a workout with columns of
various heights. During the workout the current intensity level the user is in is
workout the workout profile acts like a graph of the user’s heart rate. Each of the nine rows of the
profile will represent the user’s actual heart rate as a percentage of their heart rate max. Therefore by
the end of the workout, the user will be able to visually see their heart rate ranges throughout the
workout.
Note: The percent in the table represents the user’s actual heart rate as a percent of their heart rate
max. The heart rate max is 206.9 - (.67 x user’s age). For example: A 40 year old’s heart rate max
would be 206.9 - (.67 x 40) = 180. During their workout at the first interval their actual heart was 100.
Therefore 100/180 = .56 or 56% and the profile would display the user at row four for the first interval
of the workout.

during a workout the actual level will be displayed.
b. Level / Incline Display (Treadmills) – There are two types of levels used on LIFE FITNESS treadmills.
The first type of level is an incline level or percentage. Incline level is only manually adjusted by the
user in a manual workout. The range of possible incline percentages is 0 - 12% (F3), 0 - 15% (T3)
and 0.8 - 15% (T5) and can be manually adjusted in 0.5% increments. The second difficulty level
corresponds to a range of actual incline percentages. Difficulty levels are only used in RANDOM,
HILL, EZ INCLINE, and SPORTS TRAINING workouts. So when a user selects a difficulty level of 10 it
corresponds to a range of incline percentages between 3.0 - 7.0 (F3 and T3) and 3.8% - 7.5% (T5).
During RANDOM, HILL, EZ INCLINE, and SPORTS TRAINING the difficulty level will be displayed only
during workout setup and anytime the difficulty level is changed during the workout. At all other times

the user.
The Hill workout has two main phases in between the warm-up and cool down.
• Plateau: Increases the intensity slightly and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low
end of the target zone.
• Interval Training: Is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or periods of
recovery. The heart rate should rise to the high end of the target zone during this segment.
Goal: The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote
greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training. The goal of this workout is to
improve cardiovascular endurance and break through fitness plateaus.
4. Fat Burn Workout (Beginner – Just Starting)

Access: This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training WORKOUTS button to scroll to
the Fat Burn workout profile and pressing Enter.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate. This program
only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. Fat Burn maintains the user at 65%
of the user’s theoretical maximum heart rate. The console continuously monitors and displays the
heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the product to reach and maintain a target heart rate range.
The intensity will not change as long as the user is between 60%-72% of their target heart rate.
Goal: The goal of the Fat Burn workout is to efficiently burn fat by eliminating over-training and undertraining and also maximizing the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body’s fat stores for energy.
19
5. Cardio Workout (Experienced – Fit)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout
Access: This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training WORKOUTS button to scroll to
the Cardio workout profile and pressing Enter.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate. This program
only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. Cardio maintains the user at 80% of
the user’s theoretical maximum heart rate. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart
rate, adjusting the intensity level of the product to reach and maintain the target heart rate range. The
intensity will not change as long as the user is between 72%-85% of their target heart rate.
Goal: The goal of the Cardio workout is to place a heavier workload on the heart muscle to
emphasize cardiovascular endurance.
6. Heart Rate Hill Workout (Experienced – Fit)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training WORKOUTS button to scroll to
the Heart Rate Hill workout profile and pressing Enter.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate. This program
only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. Heart Rate Hill has a series of three
hills and three valleys where the duration of the hills and valleys is determined by the user’s heart
rate. After the warm-up, the intensity of the workout increases until the user reaches 70% of their max
heart rate, which is the first hill. Once the user reaches 70% of their max heart rate, the program will
hold the intensity level for one minute. When the hill is completed, the program reduces the intensity
and target heart rate goal to 65% of their max heart rate to simulate a valley or recovery period. Once
the user’s heart rate drops to 65% of their max heart rate, the program will keep them at 65% for one
minute. Next the program will increase intensity until the user reaches 75% of their maximum heart
rate, this is the second hill followed by a valley with the target heart rate of 65%. Finally the third
hill increases intensity until the user reaches 80% of their max heart rate, 80% is then held for one
minute followed by the final 65% valley. At the end of the duration of hills and valleys, the workout
enters a cool down phase. Note that if the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the
message center displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed depending on whether the workout
is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user
reaches the current goal.
Goal: The design intent of the Heart Rate Hill workout was to develop a program that adapts to the
user’s fitness level. As a user becomes more fit, they encounter additional hills and valleys in the same
workout duration. This is because the heart rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.
20
7. Heart Rate Interval Workout (Experienced – Fit)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training WORKOUTS button to scroll to
the Heart Rate Interval workout profile and pressing Enter.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate. This program
only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. This program alternates between
a hill that brings the target heart rate up to 80% of the user’s heart rate max and a valley that brings
the target heart rate down to 65% of the user’s heart rate max. After the warm-up, the intensity of the
workout increases until the user reaches 80% of their heart rate max, which is the first hill. Once the
user reaches a target heart rate of 80%, the program will hold the intensity level for three minutes.
When the hill is completed the program creates a valley, reducing the intensity until a target heart rate
of 65% is reached. This sequence continues for all three hills and valleys. At the end of the duration of
hills and valleys, the workout enters a cool down phase. Note that if the user does not reach a heart
rate goal after five minutes, the message center displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed,
depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a
new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.
Goal: The design intent of the Heart Rate Interval workout was to develop a program that adapts to
the user’s fitness level and is more challenging than the Heart Rate Hill workout. As a user becomes
more fit, they encounter additional hills and valleys in the same workout duration. This is because their
heart rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.
8. Extreme Heart Rate Workout (Advanced – Athlete)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training WORKOUTS button to scroll to
the Extreme Heart Rate workout profile and pressing Enter.

only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. This program alternates between
two target heart rates of 85% and 65% of the user’s max heart rate alternating as quickly as possible.
The effect is similar to that of performing sprints. During the workout once either of the two target
heart rates is reached, it is held for 20 seconds and then the intensity changes to meet the other target
heart rate.
Goal: The design of this workout is sports specific, challenging users with short bursts of resistance.
The goal of this workout is to help the advanced users break through fitness improvement plateaus.

extended workout.
21
10. Fit Test Workout (All Levels)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the ADVANCED WORKOUTS button to scroll to the FIT
TEST workout profile and pressing ENTER.
Description: The FIT TEST workout estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor
improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the hand sensors (if
equipped) when prompted, or wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as the test score
calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of
oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenated blood tothe exercising muscles and
how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians and exercisephysiologists
generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity. Please note that the estimated
VO2 max scores achieved will be 10 percent to 15 percent lower on stationary exercise bikes than
those achieved onother Life Fitness cardiovascular equipment. Stationary cycling has a higher rate
of isolated muscle fatigue of thequadriceps when compared to walking/running on a treadmill,
climbing on a stairclimber, or utilizing a bike. The higher rate of fatigue corresponds to lower levels of
estimated VO2 max scores.
Goal: The goal of the Fit Test workout is to elevate the user’s hear rate to a level that is between 60% 85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate.
Note (treadmills only): The workout duration will be five minutes total with a one minute warm-up
at 0% incline followed by four additional minutes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the console
will take the user’s heart rate reading, calculate a fitness score and display the score in the message
center.
After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score and rating will be displayed. Within each
suggested range, use these additional guidelines:

It is important for you to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Your heart rate is
dependent on many factors, including:
• amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)
• time of day
• time you last ate (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)
• time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least
four hours is recommended)
• time since you last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)
For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and
average the three scores. Note: To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a
training heart rate zone that is 60% to 85% of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax).

7 Service and Product Maintenance
LIFE FITNESS products are backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of LIFE FITNESS and
are one of the most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the market today.
Note: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for
damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced.
7.1 Preventive Maintenance Tips
The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the LIFE FITNESS product operating at peak
performance:
• Locate the product in a cool, dry place.
• Keep the console free of fingerprints and salt build-up caused by sweat.
• Use a 100% cotton cloth, lightly moisten with water and a mild liquid cleaning product, to clean
the exercise equipment. Other fabrics, including paper towels, may scratch the surface. Do not
use ammonia or acid-based cleaners.
• Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or compatible cleaner (see
LIFE FITNESS Approved Cleaners) and a microfiber cloth.
• Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to
press the selection buttons on the console.
• Clean the housing thoroughly on a regular basis.
LIFE FITNESS Approved Cleaners(United States Availability Only)
Two preferred cleaners have been approved by LIFE FITNESS reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and
Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment.
PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are
effective against MRSA and H1N1. PureGreen 24 is available in a spray. Apply the spray to a microfiber
cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least two minutes
for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control. Gym Wipes are
large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym
Wipes on the equipment for at least two minutes for general disinfection purposes.
Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or
Email: customersupport@lifefitness.com).
LIFE FITNESS Compatible Cleaners
Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display
and all exterior surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth
before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.
DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.

7.2 Troubleshooting
PROBLEMCAUSE / SOLUTION
Check to see that the power cord is fully plugged into the back of the
product and into the wall. Make sure the power cord is fully seated into the
back of the product.
No power.
Wireless heart rate
is not working.
You may be in “Energy Saver Mode”. Press the “Energy Saver” button to see
if the console turns on.
Verify that all customer assembly connections are working properly. Unplug
and re-plug each connection to verify. Look to see if any cables were
pinched during assembly.
Potential reasons for the wireless heart rate not to work properly include:
• The wireless heart rate is turned OFF in the Settings Menu. Enter the
Settings Menu and verify that WIRELESS HR is turned ON.
• There is poor contact between the telemetry heart rate strap and the
skin.
• There is electrical interference from electrical appliances with the
telemetry heart rate strap from fluorescent lights, kitchen appliances,
etc. Move the product to a different location or move electrical
appliances away from the product.
• The battery in the Heart Rate Telemetry Strap needs to be replaced.
The battery is a CR2032 (3V).
Heart rate reading
is initially detected
and functioning
normally but then
is lost.
Contact heart rate
sensors are not
reading my heart
rate correctly.
Use of personal electronic devices cause external noise interference.
Equipment is in close proximity to other sources of noise such as audio /
video equipment, fans, two way radios, and high voltage/high current power
line.
Remove the source of noise or reposition the exercise equipment.
Be sure to grasp the sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart rate seems
substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors
until heart rate disappears.
Tips for contact heart rate:
• Dry hands to prevent slipping on the sensors.
• Apply hands to all four sensors (two in each hand).
• Grasp sensors firmly.
• Apply constant pressure to the sensors. May need to wait longer for
heart rate to display.
Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart rate
value. The sensors are not medical devices and should not be used in any
type of medical application.
