CONSOLE DIAGRAM

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable.

When you use the manual mode, you can change the resistance of the pedals 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 heart rate monitor or a compatible heart rate monitor. See page 17 for

information about purchasing an optional chest heart rate monitor.

You can also connect your smart device to the console and use an iFit® app to record and track your workout information.

The console also offers a selection of onboard workouts. Each workout automatically controls the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to vary your

pedaling speed as it guides you through an effective workout.

You can also listen to your favorite workout music or audio books with the console sound system while you exercise.

To use the manual mode, see page 14. To use an onboard workout, see page 16. To use the sound system, see page 17.

To connect your smart device to the console, see page 18. To connect your heart rate monitor to the console, see page 18. To change console settings, see page 19.

If there is a sheet of plastic on the display, remove the plastic.

Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of measurement is selected, see step 3 on page 19.

tance level and one target speed are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or target speed may be programmed for consecutive segments.

The resistance level and the target speed for the

first segment will appear in the display and the matrix.

If a different resistance level is programmed for the

next segment, the resistance level will appear in the display and the resistance level will change.

If a different target speed is programmed for the

next segment, the target speed will appear in the matrix for a few seconds to alert you.

As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your

pedaling speed near the target speed 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 speed is intended only

to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed may be slower than the target speed. Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfortable for you.

If the resistance level for the current segment is

too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Resistance buttons.

IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the workout ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level programmed for the next segment.

The workout will continue in this way until the last

segment ends.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the exercise bike is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid

damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console does not turn on, make sure that the power adapter is fully plugged in.

If lines appear in the console display, see HOW TO CHANGE CONSOLE SETTINGS on page 19 and adjust the contrast level of the display.

If the handgrip heart rate monitor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 15.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted.

To adjust the reed switch, first unplug the power

adapter.

See the EXPLODED DRAWING on page 23.

Identify the Right and Left Shields (79, 80). Remove all the M4 x 18mm Screws (24) from the Right and Left Shields. Then, gently pull the Shields apart.

Locate the Reed Switch (51) and slide it slightly toward or away from a Pulley Magnet (82) on the Pulley (54).

If a replacement power adapter is needed, call the telephone number on the cover of this manual. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the console, use only a manufacturer-supplied regulated power adapter.

Plug in the power adapter and rotate the Pulley (54) for a moment. Repeat these actions until the console displays correct feedback.

When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the shields.

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.
