HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of the
pedals is deter-
mined by their
position on the
flex bars. Their
are five different
pedal positions.
To adjust the
pedals, first
loosen the knob
beneath each
pedal. Slide the
pedals forward or backward to the desired position,
and then retighten the knobs. Make sure that both
pedals are in the same position.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the low-
est position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the
pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you move the
pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow
below; however, for variety, you may turn the pedal
disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount 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.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars are
designed to add
upper-body exer-
cise to your work-
outs. Push and pull
the handlebars as
you exercise to
work your arms,
shoulders, and
back.
To exercise only
your lower body,
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor as
you exercise.
CAUTION:Before using the ellipti-
cal crosstrainer, read the following precau-
tions.
• Always hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the
handlebars when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical crosstrainer.
• When you stop exercising, allow the pedals to
slowly come to a stop.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.

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 a touch of a button. As you exer-
cise, the console will provide continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the built-in handgrip pulse sensor. (For information
about an optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 20.)
The console also offers eight Smart workout programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the elliptical crosstrainer 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 work-
out programs that automatically change the resistance
of the elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary
your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate as you exercise.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right in your home. Using a stereo audio
cable (available at electronics stores), you can connect
the elliptical crosstrainer to your home stereo, portable
stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD pro-
grams (CDs are available separately). IFIT.com CD
programs automatically control the resistance of the
elliptical crosstrainer 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. Each CD features two programs designed
by certified personal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer
to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs
(videocassettes are available separately). Video pro-
grams offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD pro-
grams, but add the excitement of working out with a
class and an instructor.
With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-
puter, you can also go to our new Web site at
www.iFIT.com and access audio programs and video
programs directly from the internet.
To purchase iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, call
toll-free 1-888-936-4266.

CONSOLE DESCRIPTION
Refer to the drawing on page 10. Note: If there is a
thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the con-
sole, remove it.
A. Program profiles—These profiles show how the
resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer and the tar-
get pace will change during Smart programs and
Heart Rate programs. For example, profile number
3 shows that during Smart program 3, both the
resistance and the pace will gradually increase dur-
ing the first half of the program, and then gradually
decrease during the last half.
B. 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 Smart program or a Heart Rate
program), the distance that you have pedaled, the
resistance level, the approximate number of calo-
ries you have burned, your power output in watts,
and your heart rate (when you use the handgrip
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor). If
the scan mode is selected, the display will change
from one mode to the next every six seconds. Or,
you can select a single mode for continuous display.
Note: The console can show speed and distance
in either miles or kilometers. To change the unit
of measurement, hold down the On/Reset button
for six seconds. The mode indicators (see F
below) will show which unit of measurement is
selected. When the batteries are replaced, it may
be necessary to reselect the desired unit of mea-
surement.
C. Increase and decrease arrows—During Smart pro-
grams, Heart Rate programs, and iFIT.com pro-
grams, these arrows will prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace to match the target pace.
D. Manual mode/program indicator—When a Smart
program is selected, the upper right corner of the
display will show a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, depend-
ing on which Smart program is selected. When a
Heart Rate program is selected, the upper right cor-
ner of the display will show a 9 or 10. 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.
E. Warning—see page 3.
F. Feedback mode indicators—These indicators show
which feedback mode (scan, speed, time, distance,
resistance level, calories, watts, 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.
G.Pace bar graphs—When the manual mode is
selected, only the left bar graph will appear. This
bar graph represents your exercise pace. As you
increase or decrease your pace, additional bars will
appear or disappear on the bar graph. When a
Smart program, a Heart Rate program, or the
iFIT.com mode is selected, both bar graphs will
appear. The left bar graph represents your exercise
pace, and the right bar graph represents a target
pace. During the program, the target pace will
periodically change. As the right bar graph
changes, simply adjust your pace so that the same
number of bars appear on both bar graphs.
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 console
is on, pressing this button will reset the display.
This button is also used to select the unit of mea-
surement for speed and distance (see B at the left).
I. Display Mode button—This button is used to select
the feedback modes. The modes will be selected in
the following order: scan, speed, time, distance,
resistance level, calories, watts, and heart rate
(when the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional
chest pulse sensor is used).
J. + and – buttons—These buttons control the resis-
tance of the elliptical crosstrainer. There are ten
resistance levels; level 10 is the most challenging.
These buttons are also used to enter your age
when a Heart Rate program is selected.
K. Program button—This button is used to select the
manual mode, Smart programs, and Heart Rate
programs.
L. IFIT.com button—This button is used to select the
iFIT.com mode. The indicator on the button will light
when the iFIT.com mode is selected.
To use the manual mode of the console, refer to
page 12. To use a Smart program, refer to page 13.
To use a Heart Rate program, refer to page 14. To
use iFIT.com CDs or videos, refer to page 18. To
use a program directly from our Web site, refer to
page 19.

Turn on the console.
Note: The console requires four “D” batteries (not
included). If you have not installed batteries, refer
to step 5 on page 7 and install batteries.
To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button
or begin pedaling.
Select the manual mode.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be select-
ed. If a Smart
program, a
Heart Rate pro-
gram, or the iFIT.com mode has been selected,
select the manual mode by pressing the Program
button repeatedly until the upper right corner of
the display is blank.
Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of
the elliptical crosstrainer.
As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the
elliptical crosstrainer as desired by pressing the +
and – buttons. There are ten resistance levels;
level 10 is the most challenging. Note: After the
buttons are pressed, it will take a few seconds for
the selected setting to be reached.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes
and the left bar graph.
When the con-
sole is turned
on, the scan
mode will be
selected. As
you exercise,
the display will
show your cur-
rent speed, the elapsed time, the distance that
you have pedaled, the current resistance level,
the approximate number of calories you have
burned, and your power output in watts. In addi-
tion, your heart rate will be shown when you use
the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 below)
or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer to page
20). Note: Each time the resistance level
changes, the console will show the resistance
level for six seconds. In addition, when a Smart
program or a Heart Rate program is selected, the
display will show the time remaining in the pro-
gram instead of the elapsed time.
In addition, the left bar graph will appear in the dis-
play to show your exercise pace. As you increase
or decrease your pace, additional bars will appear
or disappear on the bar graph.
If desired, 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 Watts
indicator appears in the display. Make sure that
the Scan indicator does not appear.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 20) and hold the handgrip
pulse sensor at the same time, the console
may not display your heart rate accurately.
If there are thin
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.

Turn on the console.
Refer to step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the eight Smart programs.
Each time the
console is turned
on, the manual
mode will be
selected. To
select a Smart
program, press
the Program but-
ton repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
or 8 appears in the upper right corner of the dis-
play.
The profiles numbered 1 through 8 on the con-
sole show the resistance and pace settings for
the Smart programs. For example, profile number
3 shows that when Smart program 3 is selected,
both the resistance and the pace will gradually
increase during the first half of the program, and
then decrease during the last half.
Start the program.
To start the program, simply begin exercising.
Each Smart program consists of twenty, one-
minute periods. One resistance setting and one
pace setting are programmed for each period.
(The same resistance setting and/or pace setting
may be programmed for consecutive periods.)
During the program, the resistance of the elliptical
crosstrainer will automatically change as shown
by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur-
rent resistance level is too high or too low, you
can change the resistance level by pressing the +
and – buttons. However, when the current period
of the program is completed, the resistance level
will automatically change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next period.
The pace set-
tings for the pro-
gram will be
shown by the
right bar graph in
the display. (The
left bar graph will
show your actual
exercise pace.) As the right bar graph changes
during the program, simply increase or decrease
your pace so that the same number of bars
appear on both bar graphs. If your pace is slower
than the current pace setting, the increase arrow
will appear in the display to prompt you to
increase your pace; if your pace is faster than the
pace setting, the decrease arrow will appear.
Important: The pace settings for the program
are intended only to provide a goal. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the pace settings,
especially during the first few months of your
exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a

Each Heart Rate program helps you to keep your
heart rate near a certain percentage 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.) Heart Rate program 9 is designed
to keep your heart rate between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart rate while you exercise; Heart Rate
program 10 is designed to keep your heart rate
between 65% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.
Turn on the console.
Refer to step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the two Heart Rate programs.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be selected.
To select a
Heart Rate pro-
gram, press the
Program button repeatedly until the number 9 or
10 appears in the upper right corner of the dis-
play.
The profiles numbered 9 and 10 on the console
show the resistance settings for the Heart Rate
programs. For example, profile number 9 shows
that when Heart Rate program 9 is selected, the
resistance level will gradually increase during the
program and then decrease near the end.
Enter your age.
When a Heart Rate program is selected, the word
AGE will appear in the display. You must enter
your age to use a Heart Rate program. To enter
your age, first press the + or – button. The current
age setting will then be shown. Next, press the +
or – button repeatedly to enter your age. Once
you have entered your age, your age will be
saved in memory until the batteries are replaced.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
When using a Heart Rate program, you must use
the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 on
page 12) or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer
to page 20). If you use the handgrip pulse sensor,
it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continu-
ously 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.
To start the program, simply begin exercising.
Each Heart Rate program consists of twenty, one-
minute periods. One resistance setting and one
heart rate setting are programmed for each peri-
od. (The same resistance setting and/or heart
rate setting may be programmed for consecutive
periods.)
During the program, the resistance of the elliptical
crosstrainer will automatically change as shown
by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur-
rent resistance level is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance level by pressing the +
and – buttons. However, when the current period
of the program is completed, the resistance level
will automatically change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next period.
As you exercise,
the bar graphs
will help you to
keep your heart
rate near the
heart rate setting
for the current
period. The left
bar graph will show your actual exercise pace.
The right bar graph will show a target pace. When
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor (or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor), the console will
compare your heart rate to the heart rate setting
for the current period. If necessary, the right bar
graph will then change to prompt you to increase
or decrease your pace to bring your heart rate
closer to the current heart rate setting. When the

right bar graph changes, increase or decrease
your pace so that the same number of bars
appear in both bar graphs. If your pace is slower
than the current pace setting, the increase arrow
will also appear in the display; if your pace is
faster than the pace setting, the decrease arrow
will appear. Important: The pace settings for
the program are intended only to provide a
goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the
pace settings, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Make sure
to exercise at a pace that is comfortable 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 to exercise after the program is complet-
ed, the display will continue to show your exer-
cise feedback.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes.
Refer to step 4 on page 12.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
Refer to step 6 on page 12.
