IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your strider before using your strider. FreeMotion
Fitness assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through
the use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the strider are adequately
informed of all precautions.
3. The strider is intended for home use only.
Do not use the strider in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
4. Keep the strider indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the strider in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Place the strider on a level surface, with at
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of clearance in the front
and rear of the strider and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on
each side. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the strider.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the strider at all times.
8. The strider should not be used by persons
weighing more than 350 lbs. (159 kg).
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
using the strider. Always wear athletic shoes
for foot protection while exercising.
10. Hold the handlebars or the handrails when
mounting, dismounting, or using the strider.
11. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors may affect the accu-
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid
in determining heart rate trends in general.
12. Keep your back straight while using the
strider; do not arch your back.
13. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and
cool down.
14. The strider does not have a free wheel; the
pedals will continue to move until the fly-
wheel stops. Reduce your pedaling speed in
a controlled way.
15. Use the strider only as described in this
manual.
16. DANGER: Always unplug the power
adapter immediately after use, before clean-
ing the strider, and before performing the
maintenance and adjustment procedures.
Servicing other than the procedures in this
manual should be performed by an autho-
rized service representative only.
17. Do not store the television in temperatures
below -40° F (-40° C) or above 140° F (60° C).
Do not operate the television in tempera-
tures below 23° F (-5° C) or above 90° F (32°
C).
18. To protect the strider and television during
lightning storms, unplug the power adapter
from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable
system. This will prevent damage due to
lightning and power line surges.
19. If an outside antenna or cable system is con-
nected, be sure that the antenna or cable
system is grounded to provide some protec-
tion against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, pro-
vides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

4
20. An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or cir-
cuits, as contact with them might be fatal.
21. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
remove the cover or the back of the televi-
sion. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
22. Upon completion of any service or repairs to
the strider or the television, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to con-
firm that the unit is in proper operating
condition.
• Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8
AWG (8.4mm2) aluminum, No. 17 AWG
(1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire,
or larger as a ground wire.
• Secure an antenna lead-in and ground
wires to the house with stand-off insula-
tors spaced from 4 to 6 feet (1.22 to 1.83
m) apart.
• Mount an antenna discharge unit as close
as possible to where the lead-in enters the
house.
• Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6
AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equivalent
when a separate antenna-grounding elec-
trode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j).
Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is
provided to call the CATV system installerʼs
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that pro-
vides guidelines for proper grounding and, in

HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate monitor has two components: a strap
and a sensor (see the drawing below). Insert the tab
on one end of the strap into one end of the sensor, as
shown in the inset drawing. Press the end of the sen-
sor under the buckle on the chst strap. The tab should
be flush with the front of the sensor.
Next, wrap the
heart rate monitor
around your chest
and attach the
other end of the
strap to the sen-
sor. Adjust the
length of the
strap, if neces-
sary. The heart
rate monitor should be under your clothes, tight
against your skin, and as high under the pectoral mus-
cles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the
logo on the sensor is facing forward and is right-side-
up.
Pull the sensor away from your body a few inches and
locate the two electrode areas on the inner side (the
electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges). Using
saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution,
wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor to a posi-
tion against your chest.
HEART RATE MONITOR CARE
• Dry the heart rate monitor after each use. The heart
rate monitor is activated when you wet the electrode
areas and put on the heart rate monitor; the heart
rate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the
electrode areas are dried. If the heart rate monitor is
not dried after each use, the battery may be drained
prematurely.
• 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 sun-
light for extended periods of time or 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.
• Clean the sensor using a damp cloth—never use
alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. and wash and air
dry the heart rate monitor.
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUB ESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function prop-
erly, try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate moni-
tor as described at the left. Note: If the heart rate
monitor does not function when positioned as
described, move it slightly lower or higher.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sen-
sor. If heart rate readings do not appear until you
begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• Position yourself near the console. For the console
to display heart rate readings, the user must be
within armʼs length of the console.
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with peo-
ple who have normal heart rhythms. eart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical condi-
tions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If you suspect that this
is a problem, try relocating the strider.

the VOL increase and decrease buttons.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
To use the chest heart rate monitor, see page 14.
To use the handgrip heart rate monitor, follow the
instructions below. Note: If you use both heart
rate monitors at the same time, the console
will not display your heart rate accurately.
If there are sheets
of plastic on the
metal contacts on
the handgrip
heart rate moni-
tor, remove the
plastic. In addi-
tion, make sure
that your hands
are clean. To measure your heart rate, place your
palms against the contacts. Avoid moving your
hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
When you hold the contacts, the word PULSE and
a set of flashing dashes will appear in the center
display. Then, when your pulse is detected, your
heart rate will be shown in the center display. For
the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the con-
tacts for at least 15 seconds.
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 contacts tightly. For optimal perfor-
mance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth;
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to
clean the contacts.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan has high and low speed settings. Press
the FAN button repeatedly to select a fan speed or
to turn off the fan. Note: If the pedals do not move
for about thirty seconds, the fan will turn off
automatically.
8. When you are finished using the strider, the
console will automatically enter an idle mode.

HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT
Apreset workout automatically changes the resistance
of the pedals and prompts you to maintain a target
stride length.
1. Press any button or begin striding to activate
the console.
See OW TO ACTIVATE T E CONSOLE on page
18.
2. Select a preset workout.
To select a preset workout, press the workout but-
ton with the desired name and profile.
The following informa-
tion will appear in the
center display:
• The name of the
workout
• A profile of the tar-
get stride lengths
• The duration of the
workout
• The maximum
stride length
• The maximum
speed (in steps per
minute)
3. Start the workout.
Press the WORKOUT START button or begin
striding to start the workout.
Each preset workout is divided into 25, 30, 45, or
60 one-minute segments. One resistance level
and one stride length is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance level and/or
stride length may be programmed for consecutive
segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing at the left). The
flashing column of the profile represents the cur-
rent segment of the workout. The height of the
flashing column indicates the stride length for the
current segment. 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 of the pedals
will then change.
As you exercise, keep your
stride length near the target
stride length for the current
segment, which is shown in
the stride length meter in
the center display.
IMPORTANT: The target
stride length settings are
intended only to provide
motivation. Your actual
stride length may be
shorter or longer than the
target stride length. Make sure to stride at a
length that is comfortable for you.
