HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate
monitor consists of
achest strap and a
sensor. Insert the
tab on one end of
the chest strap into
the hole in one end
of the sensor as
shown. Then, press
the end of the sen-
sor under the buckle
on the chest strap.
The tab should be
flush with the front
of the sensor.
The heart rate moni-
tor must be worn
under your clothes,
tight against your
skin. Wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest in the
location shown.
Make sure that the
logo is right-side-up.
Then, attach the other end of the chest strap to the
sensor. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if neces-
sary.
Pull the sensor away from your body a few inches and
locate the two electrode areas, which are covered by
shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or
contact lens solution, wet the electrode areas. Then,
return the sensor to a position against your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the sensor with a soft towel after
each use. Moisture may keep the sensor activated,
shortening the life of the battery.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
•Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 122° F (50° C) or below
14° F (-10° C).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor when
using or storing the heart rate monitor.
• To clean the sensor, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. Then, wipe the sensor with a
damp cloth and thoroughly dry it with a soft towel.
Never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean
the sensor. Hand wash and air dry the chest strap.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try
the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate moni-
tor as described at the left. If the heart rate monitor
does not function when positioned as described,
move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
• If heart rate readings are not displayed until you
begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.
• For the console to display heart rate readings, you
must be within armʼs length of the console.
• If there is a battery cover on the back of the sensor,
replace the battery with a new battery of the same
type.
• The heart rate monitor 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 contrac-
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference from high power
lines or other sources. If you suspect that magnetic
interference is causing a problem, try relocating the
fitness equipment.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into an appro-
priate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. This product is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit. IMPORTANT: The elliptical is not
compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets and may
not be compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle as
shown at the
right if a
properly
grounded
outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a
qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box
cover is grounded before using an adapter.
HOW TO FOLD AND UNFOLD THE ELLIPTICAL
When the elliptical is not in use, the frame can be
folded out of the way. First, lift the latch under each
pedal arm, and lift the pedal arms off the pedal arm
sleeves.
Next, raise the pedal arms until they touch the handle-
bars; magnets on the pedal arms will hold the pedal
arms in place. Then, hold the handle and lift the frame
until it locks into a vertical position.
To unfold the elliptical, first hold the handle, press the
latch button, and lower the frame. Next, pull the pedal
arms away from the handlebars.
Then, lift the latches under the pedal arms, and set
the pedal arms on the pedal arm sleeves. Release the
latches, and make sure that the pedal arms are
securely connected to the pedal arm sleeves.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
To move the elliptical, first fold it as described on page
13. Next, stand in front of the elliptical, hold the
upright, and place one foot against one of the wheels.
Pull the upright until the elliptical rolls on the wheels.
Carefully move the elliptical to the desired position,
and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical
rocks slightly on
your floor during
use, turn one or
both of the level-
ing feet beneath
the rear stabilizer
until the rocking
motion is elimi-
nated.
If the frame of the elliptical flexes during use, turn the
center leveling foot until the flexing motion is elimi-
nated.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the upper body arms or
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.
Note: The crank arms can turn in either direction.
It is recommended that you turn the crank arms in
the direction shown by the arrow; however, for
variety you can turn the crank arms in the oppo-
site direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have
a freewheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary,
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower
pedal.

2. Select a preset workout.
If you have selected a workout or the iFit Training
mode, press the Menu button to return to the main
menu.
To select a preset work-
out, first press the
Increase and Decrease
buttons next to the
Enter button and high-
light WORKOUTS.
Then, press the Enter
button.
Next, press the Increase and Decrease buttons to
highlight the desired workout category. Then,
press the Enter button. You can also press the
Target Toning Workouts button or the Performance
Workouts button.
Press the Increase and Decrease buttons to high-
light the name of the desired workout. The
duration of the workout, the maximum rpm (pedal-
ing pace), the maximum resistance level, the
maximum ramp level, and a profile of the resis-
tance levels of the workout will appear in the right
side of the display. Then, press the Enter button.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level, one ramp incline, and
one target rpm (pedaling pace) are programmed
for each segment. Note: The same resistance
level, ramp incline, and/or target rpm may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
The workout profile will
show your progress.
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 seg-
ment.
When the first segment of the workout ends, the
resistance level, ramp incline, and the target rpm
for the second segment will appear in the display
for a few seconds to alert you. The next segment
of the profile will begin to flash, and the pedals will
automatically adjust to the resistance level and the
ramp incline for the next segment.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace (rpm) near the target rpm for
the current segment. When the word FASTER
appears in the display, increase your pedaling
pace. When the word SLOWER appears,
decrease your pedaling pace. When no words
appear, maintain your current pedaling pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm is intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual pedaling pace
(rpm) may be slower than the target rpm. Make
sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for
you.
If the resistance level or the ramp incline for the
current segment is too high or too low, you can
manually override the setting by pressing the
Resistance buttons or the Ramp buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level or the ramp
incline for the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the workout,
simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 16.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 17.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 17.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
