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 of the console, 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 monitor
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also offers two pulse control programs and
eight resistance & rpm programs. Each pulse control
program automatically controls the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace to keep your heart rate near a target
heart rate setting during your workout. Each resistance
& rpm program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling pace
as it guides you through an effective workout.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 13. To use a pulse control
program, see page 15. To use a resistance & rpm
program, see page 17.
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of
the console, remove the plastic.
Page 13

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Press the Resistance decrease button or
begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after the console is turned on, the display will light.
Select the manual mode.
Each time the console is turned on, the manual
mode will be selected automatically. If you have
selected a program, select the manual mode by
pressing the Programs button repeatedly until the
display appears as shown below.
Begin pedaling and change the resistance of
the pedals as desired.
As you pedal,
change the resistance of the pedals
by pressing the
Resistance increase
and decrease buttons repeatedly.
There are ten resistance levels. Note: After the
buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the
pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
Monitor your progress with the display.
The left side of the
display—The left side
of the display will
show the elapsed time
and the approximate
number of calories
you have burned.
Note: When a preset program is selected (except
for pulse program 2), the display will show the
time remaining in the program instead of the
elapsed time.
The left side of the display will also show your
heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 14).
The center of the
display—When the
manual mode is
selected, the center of
the display will show a
track that represents
640 revolutions. As
you exercise, the indicators around the track will
appear in succession until the entire track
appears. The track will then disappear and the
indicators will again begin to appear in succession.
The center of the display will also show the resistance setting of the pedals for a few seconds each
time the resistance setting changes.
The right side of the
display—The right
side of the display will
show the distance
(total revolutions) you
have pedaled and
your pedaling pace
(revolutions per minute [rpm]).

Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are thin
sheets of plastic on
the metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor, peel
off the plastic. To
measure your heart
rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
with your palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving
your hands or gripping the contacts too
tightly.
When your pulse is
detected, a heartshaped symbol will
flash in the left side
of the display each
time your heart
beats, one or two
dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will
be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor, the display will show your heart rate for
up to 30 seconds. The display will then show your
heart rate along with the other modes.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Be care-
ful not to move your hands excessively or to
squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using
a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan
button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press
the button a second time. To turn off the fan,
press the button a third time. Note: If the pedals
are not moved for a few minutes, the fan will
automatically turn off to conserve the batteries.
Pivot the thumb tab
on the right side of
the fan to adjust the
angle of the fan.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the console will pause.
If the pedals are not moved for about five minutes, the console will turn off and the display will
be reset.

HOW TO USE A PULSE CONTROL PROGRAM
Press the Resistance decrease button or
begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after the console is turned on, the display will light.
Select one of the pulse control programs.
Press the Programs
button repeatedly
until “P 1” or “P 2”
appears in the right
side of the display.
If pulse control program 1 is selected,
a profile of the target
heart rate settings of
the program will
scroll across the
center of the display.
If pulse control program 2 is selected,
a pulse symbol will
appear in the center
of the display. Each
time a heartbeat is
detected while you
are using the handgrip pulse sensor, the pulse
symbol will reappear.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If pulse control program 1 is selected,
the maximum target
heart rate setting of
the program will
flash in the display. If
desired, press the
Resistance increase and decrease buttons to
change the maximum target heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 19). If you
change the maximum target heart rate setting,
the intensity level of the entire program will
change.
If pulse control program 2 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the program will flash in
the display. If desired, press the Resistance
increase and decrease buttons to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSI-
TY on page 19).
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during a pulse control program; however, you should hold the handgrip
pulse sensor frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal
contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Pulse control program 1 is 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 in the center of
the display. The target
heart rate settings for the next four 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.
Pulse control program 2 is divided into 40 oneminute 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.

During both pulse control programs, the con-
sole 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 minute of the program, the Pace
Coach will prompt you to maintain a consistent
pedaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow”
arrows lights, increase your pace. When one of
the “Too Fast” arrows 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. Your
actual heart rate may be slower than the target heart rate settings. 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, by pressing the increase and
decrease 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.
Monitor your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 13.
Turn on the fan if desired.

HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE & RPM PROGRAM
Press the Resistance decrease button or
begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after the console is turned on, the display will light.
Select one of the resistance & rpm programs.
Press the Programs
button repeatedly until
“P 3,” “P 4,” “P 5,”
“P 6,” “P 7,” “P 8,”
“P 9,” or “P10”
appears in the right
side of the display.
When a resistance & rpm program is selected, a
profile of the resistance settings of the program
will scroll across the center of the display. The left
side of the display will show how long the program will last.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several one-minute
segments. One resistance setting and one pace
setting are programmed for each segment. Note:
The same resistance setting and/or pace setting
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.
The resistance setting
for the first segment
will be shown in the
flashing Current
Segment column in
the center of the display. (Note: The pace
settings are not shown in the display.) The resistance settings for the next four segments will be
shown in the columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Pace Coach will help you to
keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for
the current segment. When one of the “Too Slow”
arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one
of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain
your current pace.
Important: The pace settings are intended
only to provide motivation. Your actual pace
may be slower than the pace settings. Make
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable
for you.
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 resistance set-
tings 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 change to the
resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If
all of the indicators in the Current Segment column
are lit after the resistance settings have moved to
the left,
the resistance settings may move down-
ward
so only the highest indicators appear in the
matrix.
The program will continue until the resistance setting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column and the last segment ends.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, by pressing the increase or decrease button. However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will change if a different resistance setting 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.
Monitor your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 13.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 14.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, 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.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 7 on page
7 for replacement instructions.
HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF
THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser flexes in the
center during use,
turn the base foot
until the flexing is
eliminated.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER on page 10.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts
can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alco-
hol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
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 recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom 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 relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
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 as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise 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 GUIDELINES
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 preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
A cool-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 exercise, 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.
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.
