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 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 measure
your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor.
The console offers twelve preset workouts—six weight
loss and six performance workouts. Each preset workout automatically changes the resistance of the pedals
as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console features the iFit interactive workout system, which enables the console to accept iFit cards
containing workouts designed to help you achieve
specific fitness goals.
For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-week
Weight Loss workout. iFit workouts control the resistance of the pedals while the voice of a personal trainer
coaches you through your workouts. iFit cards are
available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go to
www.iFit.com or call the telephone number on the
front cover of this manual. iFit cards are also available at select stores.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 19. To use a
preset workout, see page 20. To use an iFit workout, see page 21. To use the sound system, see
page 22.
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display,
remove the plastic.

3. 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.
Note: After you press the buttons, it will take a
moment for the pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
The left display—This
display can show the

Note: During a workout, the display will show the
time remaining in the workout.
The left display will also show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip heart rate monitor (see
step 5).
The center
display—This display
will show the resistance
level of the pedals for
a few seconds each
time the resistance level
changes.
This display will also
show a track representing 640 revolutions (1/4
mile or 400 m). As you
exercise, indicators will
appear in succession
around the track until the entire track appears. The
track will then disappear and the indicators will
again begin to appear in succession.
The right display—
This display can show
the distance (total number of revolutions) you
have pedaled and your
pedaling pace in revolutions per minute (rpm). The display will change

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT
If there are sheets
of plastic on the
metal contacts
on the handgrip
heart rate monitor, remove the
plastic. In addition, make sure
that your hands
are clean. To
measure your
heart rate, hold the
handgrip heart rate monitor with your palms resting
against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your
hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, a heart-shaped
symbol will flash in the display and then your heart
rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate
reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your
hands are positioned as described. Be careful not
to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the
metal contacts tightly. For optimal performance,
clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean
the contacts.

Note: Complete profiles of the preset workouts are
printed on the sides of the console.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into several one-minute
segments. One resistance level is programmed for
each segment. Note: The same resistance level
may be programmed for consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the current segment.
20
At the end of each segment of the workout, a
series of tones will sound and the next segment of
the profile will begin to flash. If a different resistance level is programmed for the next segment,
the resistance level will flash in the display for a
few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the
pedals will then change.
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. However,
when the current segment ends, the pedals will
automatically adjust to the resistance level for the
next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series of
tones will sound and the workout will pause.
To resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.
The workout will continue until the last segment
of the profile flashes and the last segment of the
workout ends.

HOW TO USE THE SOUND SYSTEM
To play music or audio books through the console
sound system while you exercise, plug a 3.5 mm male
to 3.5 mm male audio cable (not included) into the jack
on the console and into a jack on your MP3 player,
CD player, or other personal audio player; make sure
that the audio cable is fully plugged in. Note: To
purchase an audio cable, see your local electronics
store.
Next, press the play button on your personal audio
player. Adjust the volume level using the volume control on your personal audio player.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical regularly.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical, 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.
Most console problems are the result of low batteries;
see assembly step 18 on page 15 for replacement
instructions.
If the handgrip heart rate monitor does not function
properly, see step 5 on page 21.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical 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.

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.
