The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch
of a button.
While you exercise, the console will display continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can also measure your
heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or

heart rate monitor.
You can also connect your tablet to the console and
use the iFit®–Smart Cardio Equipment app to record
and track your workout information.
The console also offers a selection of onboard
workouts. Each workout automatically changes the
resistance of the pedals as it guides you through an
effective workout.
You can even connect your personal audio player to
the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 16. To use an
onboard workout, see page 18. To connect your

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either the
handgrip heart rate monitor or an optional chest
heart rate monitor (see page 20 for infor-
mation about the optional chest heart rate
monitor). Note: The console is compatible with
BLUETOOTH®Smart heart rate monitors.
Note: If you use both heart rate monitors at the
same time, the chest heart rate monitor will
have priority.
If there are sheets
of plastic on the
metal contacts
(A) on the hand-
grip heart rate
monitor, remove
the plastic. To
measure your
heart rate, hold the
handgrip heart rate
monitor with your
palms resting against the contacts. Avoid moving
your hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will
appear in the display. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least
15 seconds.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan has several speed
settings, including an auto
mode. While the auto mode
is selected, the speed of the
fan will automatically increase or decrease as your
exercise intensity increases or decreases. Press
the fan increase and decrease buttons repeatedly
to select a fan speed or to turn off the fan.
Note: If the pedals do not move for about 30
seconds, the fan will turn off automatically.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
series of tones will sound, the console will pause,
and the display will pause.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes, the
console will turn off and the display will be reset.
Note: The console features a display demo mode,
designed to be used if the elliptical is displayed in a
store. When the demo mode is turned on, the con-
sole will show a preset presentation. To turn off the
demo mode, see HOW TO CHANGE CONSOLE
SETTINGS on page 20.

HOW TO USE AN ONBOARD WORKOUT
1. Turn on the console.
Begin pedaling or press any button on the console
to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the displays will turn
on, a tone will sound, and the console will be ready
for use.
2. Select an onboard workout.
To select an onboard workout, press the desired
Workout Apps button repeatedly until the desired
workout appears in the display.
When you select an onboard workout, the display
will show the name of the workout and the dura-
tion of the workout or the number of calories to be

The maximum speed and the maximum resistance
level for the workout will also appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one target speed
is programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target speed may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
At the end of each segment of the workout, a
series of tones will sound. If a different resistance
level and/or target speed is programmed for the
next segment, the resistance level and/or target
speed will appear in the display to alert you. The
resistance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed near
the target speed for the current segment.
IMPORTANT: The target speed is intended only
to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling
speed may be slower than the target speed.
Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfort-
able for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level programmed for
the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To pause the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.
