HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate monitor has two components: a chest
strap and a sensor unit (see the drawing below). Insert
the tab on one end of the chest strap into one end of
the sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing. Press
the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the
chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front of
the sensor unit.
Chest Strap
Tab
Sensor
Sensor Unit
Next, wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest and attach
the other end of the
chest strap to the sensor unit. Adjust the
length of the chest
strap, if necessary.
The heart rate monitor should be under your clothes,
tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral
muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that
the logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is
right-side-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor
unit to a position against your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Dry the heart rate monitor after each use. The heart
rate monitor is activated when you wet the electrode
areas and put on the heart rate monitor; the heart
Unit
Buckle
Logo
rate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the
electrode areas are dried. If the heart rate monitor is
not dried after each use, the battery may be drained
prematurely.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do
not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or
other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time or to temperatures
above 122° F (50° C) or below 14° F (-10° C).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never use
alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. Hand wash and air
dry the heart rate monitor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try
the suggestions below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate
monitor as described at the left. Note: If the heart
rate monitor does not function when positioned as
described, move it slightly lower or higher on your
chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor
unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you
begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• Position yourself near the console. For the console
to display heart rate readings, the user must be
within arm’s length of the console.
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the elliptical.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. This product is
for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. IMPORTANT:
The elliptical is not compatible with GFCI-equipped
outlets and may not be compatible with AFCIequipped outlets.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician 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 qualified electrician.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,
hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the
front wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second
person lift the handle on the ramp until the elliptical will
roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to
the desired location, and then lower it to the floor.

A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle as
shown at the
right if a properly grounded
outlet is not
available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician.
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-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician
to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.

of the workout will appear in the matrix.
The display will also show the maximum pedaling
speed (rpm), the maximum resistance level, and
the maximum ramp level.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into one-minute segments.
One resistance level, one ramp incline level, and
one target rpm (speed) are programmed for each
segment. Note: The same resistance level, ramp
incline level, and/or target rpm may be programmed for consecutive segments.
The resistance level, the ramp incline level, and the
target rpm for the first segment will appear in the
matrix.
During the
workout,
the profiles on
the speed
and incline
tabs will
show your
progress.
The flashing segment of the profile represents the
current segment of the workout. The height of the
flashing segment indicates the target speed or the
incline level for the current segment.
Profile
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your
pedaling speed near the target rpm for the current
segment. When an upward-pointing arrow appears
in the display, increase your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow appears, decrease your pace.
When no arrow appears, maintain your current
pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm is intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed
may be slower than the target rpm. Make sure
to pedal at a speed that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level or incline level for the current
segment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Resistance
buttons or the 1 Step Power Ramp buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level programmed for
the next segment and the ramp will automatically adjust to the incline level programmed for
the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
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, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes 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.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise —never hold your breath.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps 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 exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week,
if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
life.
