HOW TO USE THE ELLiPTiCAL EXERCISER
HOW TO PLUG tN THE POWER CORD
This product must be
grounded.
If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This prod- uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment- grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop= edy installed and grounded in accordance with all tocaJ codes and ordinances. This product is for use on a nominaJ 120=volt circuit. Important: The eHipticaJ exerciser is not compatible with GFCl- equipped outlets.
Grounding Pin
Grounded Outlet
Outlet Box
Grounding Plug
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some 2-pote receptacle out- tet box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outJet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
Note: When the power cord is pJugged in, the chip= tical exerciser's incline system may automatically caJibrate itseff. During the caJibration process, two dashes (- -) will appear in the left dispJay of the console and the ramp will move to the highest position and then return to the lowest position. The calibration process will last for one to two
minutes.
EXERCISING ON THE ELUPTICAL EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion.
DANG ER: Improperconnectionof
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in an increased risk of eJeetric shock. Check
with a qualified eJectrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product--if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual- ified electNcian.
A temporary adapter may Outlet Box
be used to connect the power cord
to a 2=pole receptacle
as shown at the right if a Lug properly Metal Screw
grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM Left Display Matrix Training Zone Bar
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and
the angle of the ramp can be changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor. Note:
For information about an optional chest pulse sen- sor, see page 21.
The console also offers six resistance and pace pro= grams. Each program automatically changes the resis-
tance of the elliptical exerciser and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-
grams that automatically change the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate near a target level as you exer-
cise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol- ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per=
sonal trainer in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the elliptical exerciser to your
home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you through every step of your workout. High-energy music provides added motivation. To purchase iFJT.com CDs and videocassettes, call the toHofree
telephone number on the front cover of this manual
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput- er, you can also go to our Web site at www iFIT.com and access programs directly from the intemet. Explore www.iFIT.com for more information.

Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time seg- ments of different lengths. One pace setting and one resistance setting are programmed for each segment. (The same pace setting and/or resis- tance setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)
setting for the cur- rent segment. The
lit indicators in the _CE bar will show your
actual pace. If an indicator to the
right of the lit indi- cators is flashing (see drawing a), _cE increase your pace.
If an indicator to
the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flashing, your pace matches the pace setting for the current segment, important: The
pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actuaJ pace may be slower
than the current pace setting. Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all pace settings
will move one column to the left. The pace setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resis-
tance of the elliptical exerciser will automatically change to the resistance setting for the second
segment.
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the pace settings have moved to the left, the pace settings will move downward so that only the highest indicators appear in the
matrix.
The pace setting for the first seg-
ment will be shown in the flash- ing Current
Segment column of the matrix. (The resistance settings are not shown in the matrix.) The pace settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
Current Segment
The program will continue until the pace setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column of the matrix and no time remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can override the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will automatically change if a different resistance is programmed for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

See step 6 on page 13.
Turn on the fan if desired.
HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 190.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro= gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between
50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
See step 7 on page 13.
When the program is finished, the consoJe will automatically turn off.

HoJd the handgrip puJse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgdp pulse sensor (see step 6 on page 13) or the optional chest puJse sensor. If you use the handgdp pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgdps contJnuousJy during the program. However, you should hold the handgdps fre- quently for the program to operate properJy. Each
time you hold the handgdps, keep your hands
on the metaJ contacts for at Jeast 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hoJding the handgdps,
the letters "PLS" wJil appear in the right display instead of your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one- minute segments. One resistance setting and one heart rate setting are programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting and!or heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)
odicaJly compare
your heart rate to
the heart rate set-
ting for the current
segmentl if neces-
sary, an indicator
in the bar will then
flash to prompt you
to increase or _cE
decrease your
pace to bring your
heart rate closer to
the current heart
rate setting. If an indicator to the right of the Jit
indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase
your pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indi-
cator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your
pace. When no indicator is flashing, your heart
rate is near the current heart rate setting.

CONDiTiONiNG GUiDELiNES
WAF{NING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro- gram, consuJt your physician. This is espe-
eiaJly important for persons over the age of 35 or persona with pre-existing health problems.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calodes for ener- gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num- ber in your training zone as you exercise.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin- ing heart rate trends in general.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE iNTENSiTY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom- mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
165 255 145 240 230 225 215 _
245 238 230 225 128 220 203 C_)
225 120 215 i20 105 95 90 _#
20 30 40 50 60 70 80
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num- ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys- tem, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exer- cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone as you exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDEMNES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min- utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age on the bottom line of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age. The three numbers are your "training
zone." The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative- ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
A cooJ-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exer- cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
