HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product
must be
grounded.
If it should
malfunction
or break
down,
grounding
provides a
path of least
resistance for
electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This prod-
uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-
erly 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 exerciser is not compatible with GFCI-
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 quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip-
tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically
calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two
dashes (– –) will appear in the left display of the
console and the ramp will move to the highest
position and then return to the lowest position.
The calibration process will last for one to two
minutes.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebar
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.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser
does not have a free wheel; the pedals will contin-
ue to move until the flywheel stops. When the ped-
als are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.
Then, step off the lowest pedal.
DANGER:Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman 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 qual-
ified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and
the angle of the ramp can be changed 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 pulse sensor. Note:
For information about an optional chest pulse sen-
sor, see page 21.
The console also offers four resistance and pace pro-
grams. Each program automatically changes the resis-
tance of the elliptical exerciser and prompts you to
increase or decrease your pace as it guides you
through an effective workout.
In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-
grams that automatically change the resistance of the
elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace to
keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you
exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable
(available at electronics stores), you can connect the
elliptical exerciser to your home stereo, portable stereo,
computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and
video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are
available separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs
automatically control the resistance of the elliptical
exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace as a per-
sonal trainer coaches you through every step of your
workout. High-energy music provides added motiva-
tion. To purchase iFIT.com CDs and videocas-
settes, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-
er, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.
Explore www.iFIT.com for more information.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
Make sure that the power cord is properly
plugged in (see page 10). Next, begin pedaling
to turn on the console. After a few seconds, the
console displays will light. A tone will then sound
and the console will be ready for use.
Select the manual mode.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. If you
have selected a
program or the
iFIT.com mode,
reselect the manual mode by pressing the
Program button repeatedly until a track appears in
the matrix.
Begin pedaling and change the resistance of
the elliptical exerciser as desired.
As you pedal,
change the resis-
tance of the ellipti-
cal exerciser by
pressing the
Quick Resistance
buttons. There are
ten resistance levels. Note: After the buttons are
pressed, it will take a moment for the elliptical
exerciser to reach the selected resistance level.
Adjust the angle of the ramp as desired.
As you pedal,
change the angle
of the ramp by
pressing the
Quick Ramp but-
tons. There are
five ramp angles.
Note: After the buttons are pressed, it will take a
moment for the ramp to reach the selected angle.
Monitor your progress with the matrix, the
Training Zone bar, and the two displays.
The matrix—When the manual mode or the
iFIT.com mode is selected, the matrix will show a
track representing
440 revolutions (a
distance of approx-
imately 1/4 mile).
As you exercise,
the indicators
around the track will light in succession until the
entire track is lit. The track will then darken and
the indicators will again begin to light in succes-
sion.
The Training Zone
bar—The Training
Zone bar will show
your pace and the
approximate inten-
sity level of your
exercise. For exam-
ple, if three or four indicators in the bar are lit, the
bar shows that your pace is ideal for weight loss.
During programs, the Training Zone bar will also
prompt you to increase or decrease your pace.
The left display—
The left display will
show the elapsed
time, the angle of
the ramp, and the
total number of rev-
olutions you have
pedaled. The display will change from one number
to the next every few seconds, as shown by the
indicators around the display. Note: When a pro-
gram is selected, the display will show the time
remaining in the program and the time remaining
in the current segment of the program instead of
the elapsed time.
The right
display—The right
display will show
your pedaling pace
(in revolutions per
minute [RPM]), the
approximate num-
bers of fat calories and calories you have burned
(see FAT BURNING on page 23), and the resis-
tance level of the elliptical exerciser. The display
will change from one number to the next every
few seconds, as shown by the indicators around
the display. Note: When you use the handgrip
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor,
the display will show your heart rate instead of
the resistance level.

the elliptical exerciser has been used. Press the
Start button. The left display will then show the
total number of revolutions pedaled, divided by
100 (for example, the number 96 in the display
equals to 9,600 revolutions). When you are fin-
ished viewing this information, press the Program
button again.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor
and wear the optional chest pulse sensor at
the same time, the console will not display
your heart rate accurately.
If there are
thin sheets of
plastic on the
metal con-
tacts on the
handgrip
pulse sensor,
peel off the
plastic. To
measure your
heart rate, hold
the contacts;
your palms must be resting on the upper con-
tacts, and your fingers must be touching the lower
contacts. Avoid moving your hands.
When your pulse is
detected, the Heart
Rate indicator
above the right dis-
play will begin to
flash, one or two
dashes (– –) will
appear in the right display, and then your heart rate
will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate
reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
Note: If you continue to hold the pulse sensor, the
right display will show your heart rate for up to 30
seconds. The display will then show your heart
rate along with the other modes.
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 metal contacts too tightly. For opti-
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using
a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan
button. Pivot the fan to the desired angle. To turn
on the fan at high speed, press the Fan button a
second time. To turn off the fan, press the Fan
button a third time.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.

columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all resistance set-
tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column
and the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will
automatically change to the resistance setting for
the second segment.
As you exercise,
the Training Zone
bar will help you to
keep your pedaling
pace near the pace
setting for the cur-
rent segment. The
lit indicators in the
bar will show your
actual pace. If an
indicator to the
right of the lit indi-
cators is flashing
(see drawing a),
increase your pace. If an indicator to the left of
any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b),
decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash-
ing, your pace matches the pace setting for the
current segment. Important: The pace settings
are intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual pace may be slower than the current
pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue until the resistance
setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column of the matrix and no
time remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting, if desired, by pressing the
Quick Resistance buttons. However, when the
next segment begins, the resistance will automati-
cally change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the next segment. If you stop pedal-
ing for several seconds, a tone will sound and the
program will pause. To restart the program, simply
resume pedaling.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Heart rate program 5 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 50% and 85% of your estimated maxi-
mum heart rate during your workout. (Your maximum
heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from
220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your esti-
mated maximum heart rate is 190.) Heart rate program
6 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target
heart rate that you choose.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the heart rate programs.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. To
select a heart rate
program, press the
Program button
repeatedly until “P 5” or “P 6” appears in the right
display.
During heart rate
programs, the
matrix will display
a graphic that rep-
resents your heart
rate. Each time a
heartbeat is detect-
ed, an additional peak will appear in the matrix.
Enter your age or a target heart rate setting.
If you have
selected heart
rate program 5,
the word “AGE”
and the current
age setting will
flash in the left dis-
play. If you have already entered your age, press
the Enter button and go to step 4. If you have not
entered your age, press the – and + buttons
repeatedly to enter your age, and then press the
Enter button. Once you have entered your age, it
will be saved in memory.

If you have
selected heart
rate program 6,
the letters “PLS”
and the current
target heart rate
setting will flash in
the left display. Press the – and + buttons repeat-
edly to change the target heart rate setting, if
desired. The target heart rate setting can be from
70 to 170 beats per minute.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 6 on page 13)
or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently for the program to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
instead of your heart rate.
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Heart rate program 5 consists of 20 one-minute
segments. One resistance setting and one target
heart rate setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. (The same resistance setting and/or target
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.) During the pro-
gram, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will
periodically change. Heart rate program 6 is 60
minutes long (you may choose to use only part of
the program). The same resistance setting and
target heart rate setting are programmed for the
entire program.
At the end of each segment, a series of tones will
sound. The resistance of the pedals will then
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis-
tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the
resistance by pressing the Quick Resistance but-
tons. However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next seg-
ment.
As you exercise,
the Training Zone
bar will help you to
keep your heart
rate near the cur-
rent target heart
rate setting. The lit
indicators in the
bar will show your
actual pace. When
you wear the chest
pulse sensor or
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, the console will periodically com-
pare your heart rate to the target heart rate set-
ting; if necessary, an indicator in the bar will then
flash to prompt you to increase or decrease your
pace to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate setting. If an indicator to the right of
the lit indicators is flashing (see drawing a),
increase your pace. If an indicator to the left of
any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b),
decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash-
ing, your heart rate is near the target heart rate
setting. Important: The target heart rate set-
tings are intended only to provide motivation.
Your actual heart rate may be slower than the
target heart rate settings. Make sure to exer-
cise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue in this way until the
left display shows that no time remains in the
program.
Note: If you stop pedalling for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the program will end. Heart
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and
then restarted.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 5 on page 12.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 13.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 8 on page 13.
