HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS AND THE UPRIGHT
The motion of the elliptical crosstrainer is determined
by the positions of the pedals and the upright. Follow
the instructions below to adjust the motion of the ellip-
tical crosstrainer.
To adjust the
pedals, first
remove the
pedal knob
beneath each
pedal. Slide the
pedals forward
or backward and
reattach each
pedal using one
of the five holes
in the pedal.
Make sure that
both pedals are
in the same
position.
To adjust the upright, first turn the upright knob counter-
clockwise a few turns to loosen it. Next, pull the knob,
raise or lower the upright to the desired height, and
then release the knob. Move the upright up and
down slightly until the pin on the knob snaps into
one of the four adjustment holes in the upright.
Make sure that the upright is not resting on top of
the pin. Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is tight.
HOW TOUSE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars
are designed to
add upper-body
exercise to your
workouts. As you
exercise, push
and pull the han-
dlebars to work
your arms, shoul-
ders, and back.
Toexercise only
your lower body,
hold the handgrip pulse sensor as you exercise.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the
elliptical cross-
trainer, hold the
handgrip pulse
sensor and step
onto the pedal
that is in the
lowest position.
Then, step onto
the other pedal.
Push the ped-
als until they
begin to move
with a continu-
ous motion.
Note: The
pedal disks
can turn in
either direc-
tion. It is rec-
ommended
that you turn the pedal disks in the direction
shown by the arrow; however,for variety,you may
turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.
Todismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-
als will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest
pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

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 crosstrainer
can be adjusted with the touch of a button. Whilst you
pedal, 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 sensor, see page 21.
The console also offers six preset workout programs.
Each program automatically changes the pedalling
resistance and prompts you to increase or decrease
your pace as it guides you through an effective work-
out.
In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-
grams that change the pedalling resistance and
prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate
near target heart rates as you exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like hav-
ing a personal trainer in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer
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 sepa-
rately). iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically
control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you
through every step of your workout. High-energy music
provides added motivation. To purchase iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes, visit our Web site at
www.iFIT.com.
With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-
puter, you can also go to our Web site at

CONSOLE DESCRIPTION
See the drawing on page 11. Note: If there is a thin
sheet of clear plastic on the console, remove it.
A. Exercise feedback display—This display features
seven modes that give you instant exercise feed-
back: your current speed, the elapsed time (or the
time remaining in a program), the distance that you
have pedalled, the resistance level, the approxi-
mate number of calories you have burned, the
approximate number of fat calories you have
burned (see FAT BURNING on page 23), and your
heart rate (when you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor or the optional chest pulse sensor). If the scan
mode is selected, the display will change from one
mode to the next every few seconds. Or, a single
mode can be selected for continuous display.
Note: The console can show speed and distance
in either miles or kilometres. To change the unit
of measurement, hold down the On/Reset button
for about six seconds.
B. Increase and decrease arrows—During programs,
these arrows will prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace to match the target pace.
C. Manual mode/program indicator—When a program
is selected, the upper right corner of the display
will show a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, depending on
which program is selected. When the iFIT.com
mode is selected, the upper right corner will show
the letters “IF.” When the manual mode is selected,
the upper right corner will be blank.
D. Program profiles—These profiles show how the
resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer and the tar-
get pace will change during programs.
E. Warnings—See page 3.
F.Feedback mode indicators—These indicators show
which feedback mode (scan, speed, time, distance,
resistance level, calories, fat calories, or heart rate)
is currently shown. Note: When the distance is
shown, the word Miles or the letters Kms will
appear; when your speed is shown, the letters
MPH or Km/H will appear; when your heart rate is
shown, the letters BPM will appear.
G. Pace indicators—When the manual mode is select-
ed, only the left pace indicator will appear. This
indicator will show your pedalling pace. As you
increase or decrease your pace, the indicator will
increase or decrease in height. When a program is
selected, both pace indicators will appear. The left
indicator will show your actual pedalling pace, and
the right indicator will show a target pace. During
the program, the target pace will periodically
change; as the right indicator changes in height,
adjust your pace so that both indicators are the
same height. Important: The target pace is a
goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower
than the target pace, especially during the first
few months of your exercise program. Make
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable
for you.
H. On/Reset button—When the console is off, pressing
this button will turn on the display. When the con-
sole is on, pressing this button will reset the dis-
play. This button is also used to select the unit of

display will
show your cur-
rent speed, the elapsed time, the distance that
you have pedalled, the current resistance level,
and the approximate numbers of calories and of
fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING
on page 23). In addition, your heart rate will be
shown when you use the handgrip pulse sensor
or the optional chest pulse sensor.Note: Each
time the resistance level changes, the console
will show the resistance level for six seconds.
When a program is selected, the display will
show the time
remaining in the program instead
ofthe elapsed time.
Ifdesired, you can select a single feedback mode
for continuous display. Press the Display Mode
button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H),
Time, Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Fat Cals.
indicator appears in the display. Make sure that
the Scan indicator does not appear.
In addition, the left pace indicator will appear in the
display. As you increase or decrease your pace,
the indicator will increase or decrease in height.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at
the same time, the console will not display
your heart rate accurately.
If there are
sheets of plas-
tic on the metal
contacts on the
handgrip pulse
sensor,peel off
the plastic. To
use the handgrip
pulse sensor,
place your hands on the metal contacts. Your
palms must be on the upper contacts and your
fingers must be touching the lower contacts.
Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is
detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the dis-
play will flash each time your heart beats. After a
moment, two dashes (– –) will appear and then
your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note:
When you first hold the handgrips, the display will
show your heart rate continuously for 15 sec-
onds. The display will then show your heart rate
along with the other feedback modes.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-
sole will automatically turn off to conserve
the batteries.

and one pace setting are programmed for each
period. (The same resistance setting and/or pace
setting may be programmed for consecutive peri-
ods.)
During the program, the resistance of the elliptical
crosstrainer will automatically change as shown
by the applicable profile on the console. Note: If
the current resistance level is too high or too low,
you can change the resistance level by pressing
the + or – button. However,when the current peri-
od of the program is completed, the resistance
level will automatically change if a different resis-
tance setting is programmed for the next period.
The target pace
settings for the
program will be
shown by the
right pace indica-
tor in the display.
(The left indicator
will show your actual pedalling pace.) As the right
indicator changes in height during the program,
adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the
same height. If your pace is slower than the cur-
rent target pace, the increase arrow will appear in
the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if
your pace is faster than the target pace, the
decrease arrow will appear. Important: The pace
settings for the program are intended only to
provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow-
er than the pace settings, especially during
the first few months of your exercise program.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort-
able for you.
During the program, the display will show the time
remaining in the program. When no time remains,
the program will be completed. If you continue
pedalling after the program is completed, the dis-
play will continue to show your exercise feedback.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes.

Heart rate program 7 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 195 beats per minute.) Heart rate program 8 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.
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the two heart rate programs.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be selected.
Toselect a heart
rate program,
press the
Program Select button repeatedly until the num-
ber 7 or 8 appears in the upper right corner of the
display.
The profiles numbered 7 and 8 on the right side
of the console show the resistance settings for
the heart rate programs.
Enter your age or a target heart rate.
If you selected program 7, the word AGE and
the current age setting will flash in the display
(see the drawing above). Press the + or – button
repeatedly to enter your age. Once you have
entered your age, your age will be saved in mem-
ory until the batteries are replaced.
If you selected
program 8, the
letters PLS and
atarget heart
rate setting of
70 beats per
minute will flash
in the display.
Press the + or – button repeatedly 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 or put on the
optional chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con-
tinuously during the program. However, you should
hold the handgrips frequently for the program to
operate properly. Each time you hold the hand-
grips, 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 display instead of your heart rate.
Start the program.
Tostart the program, simply begin pedalling.
Program 7 consists of twenty, one-minute peri-
ods. One resistance setting and one heart rate
setting are programmed for each period. (The
same resistance setting and/or heart rate setting
may be programmed for consecutive periods.)
Program 8 is sixty minutes long (you may choose
to use only part of the program). The same resis-
tance setting and target heart rate setting are pro-
grammed for the entire program.
If program 7 is selected, the resistance of the
elliptical crosstrainer will automatically change as
shown by profile 7 on the console. (Note: If the
current resistance level is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance level by pressing the +
or – button. However,when the current period of
the program is completed, the resistance level will
automatically change if a different resistance set-
ting is programmed for the next period.) If pro-
gram 8 is selected, the resistance setting will not
change unless the target heart rate setting is
changed. Pressing the + and – buttons will
change the target heart rate setting.
As you pedal, the
pace indicators
will help you to
keep your heart
rate near the tar-
get current heart
rate. The left
indicator will show your actual pedalling pace.
The right indicator will show a target pace. When
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor, the console will com-
pare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If necessary,the right indicator will then
change in height to

prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate. When the right indicator changes in height,
increase or decrease your pace so that both indi-
cators are at the same height. If your pace is
slower than the current target pace, the increase
arrow will appear in the display; if your pace is
faster than the target pace, the decrease arrow
will appear. Important: The target pace is
intended only to provide a goal. Your actual
pace may be slower than the target pace,
especially during the first few months of your
exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
If you continue pedalling after the program is
completed, the display will continue to show your
exercise feedback.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes.
