To get the best performance from the chest pulse sen­sor, please read the instructions below.
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components: the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps below to put on the chest pulse sensor.
See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap through the hole in one end of the sensor unit as shown.
Wrap the chest pulse sensor around your chest. Attach the free end of the chest strap to the sensor unit as described above. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse sensor should be under your clothing, against your skin, and as high under the pectoral mus­cles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo 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. Using a saline solution
such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both elec­trode areas. Then, return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the chest pulse sensor does not function prop­erly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low, try the steps below.
• Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is worn ex­actly as described at the left. If the chest pulse sen­sor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, 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.
• Make sure that you are within arm’s length of the console. For the console to display heart rate
readings, the user must be within arm’s length of the console.
• The chest pulse sensor 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 chest pulse sensor can be af­fected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that magnetic interference may be causing a problem, try relocating your exercise equipment.
• If the chest pulse sensor still does not function prop­erly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:
Hold the chest pulse sensor and place your thumbs over the electrode areas as shown.

Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console. While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate reading on the console.
If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly
after you have followed all of the above instructions, replace the battery in the following way:
Locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover, turn the cover counterclock­wise, and remove the cover.
Remove the old bat­tery and insert a new CR 2032 battery.
Make sure that the battery is turned so the writing is on top. Reattach the
battery cover and turn it clockwise to close it.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sen­sor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, drain­ing the battery prematurely.
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sun-
light for extended periods of time. Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.

HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exer­ciser, moving it requires two persons. With the help
of another person, lift the handle on the rear of the el­liptical exerciser until the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired location and then lower it.
CAUTION: To decrease the risk of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight. Make sure to use your legs rather than your back to lift the elliptical exerciser. Do not attempt to move the elliptical ex­erciser over an uneven surface.
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor, see the inset drawings and turn the leveling feet under the front and rear of the elliptical exerciser until the rocking motion is eliminated.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL 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.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped­als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser
does not have a free wheel; the pedals will con­tinue to move until the flywheel stops. When the
pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more effective. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the resis­tance of the pedals can be changed with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console will provide continu­ous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor.
The console also features personal goal programming that allows you to choose a goal for your workout. As you exercise, the console will display feedback until the goal is reached.
In addition, the console offers nine preset programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective work­out.
You can even create your own custom workout pro­grams and save them in memory for future use.
The console also features three heart rate programs that automatically change the resistance of the pedals to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you exercise.
To use the manual mode of the console, see page
16. To create and use a custom program, see page
18. To use a preset program, see page 19. To use a
heart rate program, see page 20.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1. Begin pedaling to activate the console.
The elliptical exerciser requires no batteries or external power source. Power is supplied by a generator while you are pedaling. To activate
the console, begin pedaling at a moderate pace. After a few seconds, the console displays will light. A tone will then sound and the console will be ready for use.
2. Select the manual mode.
When the power is turned on, the man­ual mode will be selected and a track will appear in the display. If you have selected a program, reselect the manual mode by pressing the Manual button.
3. Set a workout goal if desired.
If you do not wish to set a workout goal, go to step
4.
To set a time, distance, or calorie goal for your workout, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Time, Distance, or Calories display. To set a goal quickly, hold down the increase and de­crease buttons. You can set one goal for each
workout.
For example, if you plan to exercise for 30 minutes, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Time dis­play until the dis­play shows a goal of “30:00.”
Note: To set a pulse goal, see HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM on page 20.
4. Begin pedaling and change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals by pressing the One-touch Resistance buttons if desired. Note: After the One-touch Resistance buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
5. Monitor your progress with the displays.
The matrix—When
the manual mode is selected, the matrix will show a track representing 1/4 mile. As you exer­cise, the indicators around the track will light in succession until the entire track is lit. The track will then darken and the indicators will again begin to light in succes­sion.
The Resistance display—This dis-
play will show the resistance level of the pedals.
The Speed display—This dis-
play will show your pedaling speed, in revolutions per minute.
The Time display—If no time
goal was set, this display will show the elapsed time. If a time goal was set, the display will show the time remaining in your workout. Note: When a program is selected (except for the first heart rate program), the display will show the time remaining in the program.
The Distance dis­play—If no dis-
tance goal was set, this display will show the distance that you have ped­aled, in total revolu­tions. If a distance goal was set, the display will show the distance still to be pedaled during your workout.
17
The Calories dis­play—If no calorie
goal was set, this display will show the approximate number of calories you have burned. If a calories goal was set, the display will show the number of calories still to be burned during your workout.
The Pulse display—This dis-
play will show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor (see step 6 below).
Note: You can se­lect any of three backlight modes for the displays. The “On” mode keeps the backlight on while the console is on. The “Off” mode turns the backlight off. The “Auto” mode keeps the backlight on only while you are exercising. To change the backlight mode, first hold down the Start button for a few seconds. The current backlight mode will appear in the Calories display. Next, press the One-touch Resistance 1 button to change the backlight mode. Then, press the Start button.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
To use the chest pulse sensor, see page 10. To use the handgrip pulse sensor, follow the instruc­tions below. Note: If you wear the chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not display your heart rate accurately.
If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the hand­grip pulse sen­sor, peel off the plastic.
Place your hands on the handgrip pulse sensor, with your palms on the contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, one or two dashes will appear in the Pulse display and then your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrips for about 30 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving your hands excessively or squeezing the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, peri­odically clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth;
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, a series of tones will sound, the Time display will begin to flash, and the console will pause.
If the pedals are not moved for a few minutes, the console will turn off and the displays will be reset.

2. Select a custom program.
To select a custom program, press one of the three Custom buttons. When a Custom button is pressed, the indica­tor on the button will light.
Note: If the custom program has not yet been defined, see step 3 to create the program. If the program is already defined, see step 4 to use the program.
3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
Refer to the matrix. Each custom pro­gram is divided into 40 one-minute seg­ments. One resis­tance setting and one pace setting can be programmed for each segment. The resis­tance setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. (The pace settings are not shown in the matrix.) To program a resistance setting and a pace setting for the first segment, simply adjust the resistance of the pedals as desired by pressing the One-touch Resistance buttons and pedal at the desired pace.
When the first segment of the program ends, a se­ries of tones will sound and the current resistance setting and the current pace setting will be saved in memory.
The columns of indicators will then move
one column to the left,
and the resistance setting for the second segment will be shown in the flash­ing Current Segment column. Program a resis­tance setting and a pace setting for the second segment as described above.
Continue programming resistance and pace set­tings for as many segments as desired; custom programs can have up to 40 segments.
4. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
The custom program will function in almost the same way as a preset program (see steps 3 and 4 on page 19).
If desired, you can redefine the program while using it. To change the resistance or pace set- ting for the current segment, simply press the One-touch Resistance buttons or change your ped­aling pace. When the current segment ends, the new setting will be saved in memory.
5. Monitor your progress with the displays.

When a preset program is se­lected, a profile of the first several resistance set­tings of the program will appear in the matrix, the program time will appear in the Time display, the maximum resistance setting of the program will flash in the Resistance display, and the maximum speed setting of the program will flash in the Speed display for a few seconds.
3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into either 20 or 30 one­minute segments. One resistance setting and one pace setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or target pace may be programmed for two or more consec­utive segments.
When you start the program, the resis­tance setting for the first segment will be shown in the flash­ing Current Segment column of the matrix. The resistance settings for the next sev­eral segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg­ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a se­ries of tones will sound, and the time will flash in the Time display. When the first segment ends,
all
resistance settings will move one column to the left.
The resistance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the pedals will auto­matically change to the resistance setting for the second segment.
The program will continue until no time remains in the Time display.
4. Use the pace guide to pace your exercise.
Throughout the program, the pace guide will prompt you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow” indicators lights, increase your pace; when one of the “Too Fast” in­dicators lights, decrease your pace. When the cen­ter indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The pace guide is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
5. Monitor your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 16.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 6 on page 17.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 16.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart rate program, press one of the three Heart Rate buttons. When a Heart Rate button is pressed, the indicator on the button will light.
If the first heart rate program is se­lected, a pulse sym-
bol will appear in the matrix.
If the second or third heart rate program is se­lected, a profile of
the first several tar­get heart rate set­tings of the program will appear in the matrix.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
If the first heart rate program is selected, the
target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the Pulse display. If desired, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Pulse display to change the target heart rate setting (see EXER- CISE INTENSITY on page 23). Note: The same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all segments.
If the second or third heart rate program is se­lected, the maximum target heart rate setting of
the program will flash in the Pulse display. If de­sired, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Pulse display to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTEN- SITY on page 23). Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change.
4. Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the hand­grip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must wear the chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sen­sor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously dur­ing the program; however, you should hold the handgrips frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding
the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will flash in the Pulse display instead of your heart rate.
5. Press the Start button to start the program.
The first heart rate program—This program is di-
vided into 100 one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all seg­ments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different program before the program ends.
The second and third heart rate programs— These programs are divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is pro­grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar­get heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flash­ing Current Segment column of the ma­trix. The target heart rate settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg­ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a se­ries of tones will sound, and
all target heart rate
settings will move one column to the left.
The tar­get heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.
Current Segment
21
Both heart rate programs—As you pedal, the
console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
After the first segment ends, the pace guide will prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow” indicators lights, in­crease your pace; when one of the “Too Fast” indi­cators lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target heart rate settings are intended only to provide motivation. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually over­ride the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, with the One-touch Resistance buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals may automatically increase or de­crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
6. Monitor your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 16.
7. When the program is finished, the console will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 17.

Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please see the front cover of this manual.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Inspect and properly tighten all external parts of the el­liptical exerciser. Clean the elliptical exerciser with a small amount of mild multi-purpose cleaner applied to a 100% cotton cloth. When cleaning the elliptical exer­ciser, pay special attention to the track and the wheels. Remove all debris from the track. Clean the pedal cov­ers with a soft nylon brush. Do not use acidic clean-
ers. Never spray any cleaner directly onto the ellip­tical exerciser.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. SYMPTOM: THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER IS NOT LEVEL
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly during use, see HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTI­CAL EXERCISER on page 14.
2. SYMPTOM: THE PULSE SENSOR DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOT­ING on pages 12 and 13.
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function prop­erly, see step 6 on page 17.
3. SYMPTOM: THE PEDAL DISCS RUB AGAINST THE SIDE SHIELDS
If a pedal disc rubs against a side shield, loosen the side shield mounting screws and move the side shield slightly until the pedal disc stops rubbing. Then, retighten the side shield mounting screws.
4. SYMPTOM: THE PEDAL WHEELS SQUEAK
If the pedal wheels squeak, use a 100% cotton cloth to remove debris from the track and the wheels. If the pedal wheels continue to squeak, apply a light coat of silicone-based lubricant to the track.
5. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE TURNS OFF AS SOON AS YOU STOP PEDALING
If the console turns off as soon as you stop pedal­ing, the battery pack may not be charged. The longer you pedal, the longer the battery pack will re­tain a charge. It may be necessary to pedal for a few minutes to charge the battery pack each time you exercise. If the console turns off as soon as you stop pedaling, even after you have pedaled for sev­eral minutes, call the telephone number on the front cover of this manual immediately.
6. SYMPTOM: THE PEDALS SLIP DURING USE
If the pedals slip during use, the drive belt is slip­ping. Follow the instructions below to adjust the ten­sion of the drive belt.
First, remove the two M6 x 16mm Button Screws (49) attaching the left Pedal Disc (5). Without removing the Pedal Disc, pivot it out of the way.
Next, locate the M10 Flange Nut (95). Turn the Flange Nut clock­wise until the ped­als no longer slip during the power stroke.
Reattach the Pedal Disc (5).

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.
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.
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 stretching
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.
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.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi­cian. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-exist­ing health problems.
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 determining heart rate trends in general.
