CONSOLE DIAGRAM

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face
of the console, remove it before using the console.

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 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

The console also offers eight preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance 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 pro­grams that automatically change the resistance of the
elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace to
keep your heart rate near a target heart rate while you
exercise.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol­ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

.

sonal trainer in your home. Using the included stereo
audio cable, you can connect the elliptical exerciser to
your portable stereo, home stereo, computer, or VCR
and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs
(iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available sepa­rately). iFIT.com 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.

number on the front cover of this manual.
