THE MAIN DISPLAY
The main display will display a variety of text messages
to guide you through your workouts. In addition, the
main display will display the following information
whilst you exercise:
Resistance—The left end of
the main display will show
the resistance setting of the
pedals.
Pace/Time/Segment
Time—When the QUICK
START mode is selected,
this section of the main dis-
play will show your pedaling
pace, in minutes per mile or
minutes per kilometer, and the elapsed time. The dis-
play will change from one number to the other every
few seconds. When a program is selected, the main
display will show your pedaling pace, the time remain-
ing in the program, and the time remaining in the cur-
rent segment of the program.
Distance—This section of
the main display will show
the distance that you have
pedaled, in miles or kilome-
ters.
Calories/Watts—This sec-
tion of the main display will
show the approximate num-
ber of calories you have
burned and your power out-
put in watts. The display will
change from one number to the other every few sec-
onds.
Heart Rate/% Max—When
you use the handgrip pulse
sensor, this section of the
main display will show your
heart rate. When a PULSE
program is selected, the dis-
play will show your heart rate and the corresponding
percentage of your estimated maximum heart rate (see
step 5 on page 15 for an explanation of your estimated
maximum heart rate). The display will change from one
number to the other every few seconds.
Speed/RPM—The right end
ofthe main display will show
your pedaling speed, in miles
per hour or kilometers per
hour, and your pedaling ca-
dence, in revolutions per
minute (RPM). The display will change from one num-
ber to the other every few seconds.
Note: The main display can display text messages in
any of six languages (see step 6 on page 19). In addi-
tion, the main display can display data using either the
English system or the metric system (see step 7 on
page 19).
THE MATRIX
When the RANDOM, INTERVAL, PLATEAU, FOOT-
HILLS, PEAKS, or ALL-TERRAIN program is selected,
the matrix will display a profile of resistance settings.
Each program is divided into 30-second segments,
and each column of the matrix represents one 30-sec-
ond segment. The flashing column represents the cur-
rent segment. Note: If a program has more than 30
segments, the matrix will show up to 30 segments at a
time.
The lit indicators in each column represent the resis-
tance setting for that segment of the program. One lit
indicator represents a resistance setting of 0.5 or 1, two
lit indicators represent a resistance setting of 1.5 or 2,
three lit indicators represent a resistance setting of 2.5
or 3, and so forth. Note: Because there are eight indica-
tors in each column, the matrix will normally show resis-
tance settings up to 8. If resistance settings of 8.5, 9,
9.5, or 10 are programmed for one or more segments,
the lit indicators in all columns will occasionally shift
downward so that the higher settings are displayed in
the matrix.
Flashing Column

When the QUICK START mode or the MANUAL pro-
gram is selected, the matrix will show the resistance
settings that you select.
When a PULSE program is selected, the matrix will dis-
play a heartbeat graphic. Each time a heartbeat is de-
tected, an additional peak will appear in the display.
THE PULSE SENSOR
Ifthere are sheets of
clear plastic on the
metal contacts on the
handgrip pulse sen-
sor, peel off the plas-
tic. To measure your
heart rate, hold the con-
tacts; your palms must
be resting on the upper
contacts, and your fingers must be touching the lower
contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your
pulse is detected, the HEART RATE indicator above
the main display will begin to flash, and then your heart
rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate
reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds with-
out moving your hands.
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 con-
tacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the
contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abra-
sives, or chemicals.

the resistance of the pedals will automatically
change, if necessary, to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting for the next
segment. The program will continue in this way
until the last segment ends.
During the program, you can change the resis-
tance of the pedals, if desired, by pressing the
RESISTANCE + and – buttons or the QUICK-
TOUCH RESISTANCE buttons. However, when
the current segment ends, the resistance will auto-
matically change, if necessary, to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting for the
next segment. Note: Each PULSE program ends
with a two-minute cool-down period. During this
period, the resistance level cannot be changed.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the main display, and
the resistance of the pedals may automatically de-
crease. If this occurs, see THE PULSE SENSOR
on page 11.
Follow your progress with the main display.

HOW TO USE THE FOOTHILLS, PEAKS, AND
ALL-TERRAIN PROGRAMS
During the FOOTHILLS program, the resistance of the
pedals will gradually increase and then gradually de-
crease. The number of times that the resistance will in-
crease and decrease will depend on the maximum re-
sistance setting and the intensity level that you select.
During the PEAKS program, the resistance of the ped-
als will increase and then decrease. The number of
times that the resistance will increase and decrease
will depend on the maximum resistance setting and the
intensity level that you select.
During the ALL-TERRAIN program, the resistance of
the pedals will sharply increase and then sharply de-
crease repeatedly. The number of times that the resis-
tance will increase and decrease will depend on the
maximum resistance setting and the intensity level that
you select.
Begin pedaling to activate the console.

Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and fol-
low the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, 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 wheels. Remove all debris from the track. Clean the pedal covers with a soft
nylon brush. Do not use acidic cleaners—doing so will void your warranty. Never spray any cleaner di-
rectly 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 EXER-
CISER on page 6.
2. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE DOES NOT DISPLAY THE DESIRED SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT
The console can display data using the English system (miles and pounds) or the metric system (kilometers and
kilograms). To change the system of measurement, see step 7 on page 19.
3. SYMPTOM: THE PULSE SENSOR DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly, see THE PULSE SENSOR on page 11.
4. SYMPTOM: THE PEDAL DISKS RUB AGAINST THE SIDE SHIELDS
If a pedal disk rubs against a side shield, loosen the side shield mounting screws and move the side shield
slightly until the pedal disk stops rubbing. Retighten the side shield mounting screws.
5. 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.
6. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE TURNS OFF AS SOON AS THE USER STOPS PEDALING
If the console turns off as soon as the user stops pedaling, the battery pack may not be fully charged. The longer
your workouts are on the elliptical exerciser, the longer the battery pack will maintain a charge. If the symptom
continues, call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual immediately.
