FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, 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 a selection of preset programs.
The two calorie goal programs allow you to choose a
calorie-burning goal for your workout. As you exercise,
the console will count the calories that you burn until
the goal is reached.
The two pulse control programs automatically control
the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
increase or decrease your pedaling pace to keep your
heart rate near a target heart rate setting during your
workout.
The distance program counts the number of revolutions that you pedal during your workout, until you
have completed 5,000 revolutions.
The three resistance & rpm programs automatically
change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
vary your pedaling pace as they guide you through an
effective workout.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable
(available at electronics stores), 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 pedals and prompt you to
vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you
through every step of your workout.

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
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 4 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.

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.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
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 displays become 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 LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet
beneath the rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
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—
hol, abrasives, or chemicals.
HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is espe-
ially important for persons over the age of 35
c
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible

calories for ener-
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.
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.
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.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded of
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above
your age.
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
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
The three numbers are your “training zone.”
, you must exercise at a relative
f
to the
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.
cise, 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.
