THE CHEST HEART RATE MONITOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
If the heart rate monitor looks like the one shown in
drawing 1, press the transmitter (A) onto the snap fas-
teners on the chest strap (B). If the heart rate monitor
looks like the one shown in drawing 2, insert the tab
(C) on one end of the chest strap (D) into one end of
the transmitter (E). Then, press the end of the trans-
mitter under the buckle (F) on the chest strap; the tab
should be flush with the transmitter.
Next, wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest in the loca-
tion shown; the heart
rate monitor must be
under your clothes,
tight against your skin.
Make sure that the logo
is right-side-up. Then, attach the other end of the chest
strap. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary.
Next, pull the trans-
mitter and the chest
strap away from your
body a few inches
and locate the two
electrode areas (G).
Using saliva or con-
tact lens solution, wet the electrode areas. Then, return
the transmitter and the chest strap to a position against
your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the electrode areas with a soft towel
after each use. Moisture may keep the heart rate
monitor activated, shortening the life of the battery.
• 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
sunlight for extended periods of time, and do not
expose it to temperatures above 122°F (50°C) or
below 14°F (-10°C).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the heart rate
monitor when using or storing it.
• To clean the transmitter, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap. Then, wipe the transmit-
ter with a damp cloth and thoroughly dry it with a soft
towel. Never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals
to clean the transmitter. Hand wash and air dry the
chest strap.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the heart rate monitor does not function when
positioned as described at the left, move it slightly
lower or higher on your chest.
• If heart rate readings are not displayed until you
begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• For the console to display heart rate readings, you
must be within arm’s length of the console.
• If there is a battery cover on the back of the trans-
mitter, replace the battery with a new battery of the
same type.
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart 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 from high power
lines or other sources. If you suspect that magnetic
interference is causing a problem, try relocating the
fitness equipment.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.
Plug the
power cord
into an
appropriate
outlet that
is properly
installed and
grounded in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances. The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt
circuit.
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 lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet
box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
DANGER: Improper connection of
the power cord increases the risk of electric
shock. Do not modify the plug; if it will not fit
an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether
the product is properly grounded, contact a
qualified electrician.

tion. It is recommended that you turn the pedals
in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for
variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite
direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have
a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary,
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower
pedal.
HOW TO STORE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, storing
it requires two persons. CAUTION: You must be
able to safely lift 100 lbs. (45 kg) to lift, store, and
lower the elliptical.

mance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean
the contacts.

As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed near
the target cadence for the current segment. The
target zone meter will prompt you to increase,
decrease, or maintain your pedaling speed. To
view the target zone meter, flick or slide the screen.
Note: The target cadence is displayed in revolu-
tions per minute (rpm).
IMPORTANT: The target cadence is intended
only to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling
speed may be slower than the target cadence.
Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfort-
able for you.
If the resistance level and/or incline level for the
current segment is too high or too low, you can
manually override the setting by pressing the Quick
Resistance buttons or the Quick Ramp buttons. If
you press a Quick Resistance button, you can
then manually control the resistance (see step 3 on
page 18). If you press a Quick Ramp button,
you can then manually control the incline (see step
3 on page 18). To return to the programmed
resistance and/or incline settings of the work-
out, touch the Follow Workout button.
Note: The calorie goal is an estimate of the
number of calories that you will burn during
the workout. The actual number of calories
that you burn will depend on various factors,
such as your weight. In addition, if you manu-
ally change the resistance or the incline of the
frame during the workout, the number of calo-
ries you burn will be affected.
To pause the workout, touch either the back button
or the home button at the bottom of the screen. To
continue the workout, touch the Resume button. To
end the workout, touch the End Workout button.
