1. Introduction
Congratulations! You've made a very smart investment! Your
Cardio Elliptical is a high-quality fitness tool that will provide
many years of fitness benefits.
One of the great things about your new Cardio Elliptical is that it
uniquely monitors your workout intensity in “treadmill terms.”
Meaning, if your speed readout displays 7 mph, you are
exerting the same energy as running 7 mph.
Regardless of the application, unpleasant weather is not an
obstacle. Cold, windy, wet days will never discourage you
again, nor will the heat and humidity. If you like to multi-task,
you can watch your favorite TV program or listen to music and
take care of your health at the same time.
1.1. Before You Begin
Please do the following before you start to exercise on your
elliptical:
• Familiarize yourself with this manual. Look it over carefully.
Be sure you understand the control panel operation before
using the elliptical.
•Register your elliptical. Landice backs your elliptical with a
strong warranty. For the factory to respond if your elliptical
has a problem, we need your warranty information on file.
Register online at the link below.

1.2. Heart Rate Monitoring
This section provides basic concepts of heart rate monitoring
so you can better understand how to use it to reach the fitness
level you desire.
1.2.1. What is exercise intensity?
Exercise intensity is simply a measure of how hard you are
working at a given time during exercise. The ACSM, the world’s
leading medical and scientific authority on sports medicine and
fitness, recommends that every individual involved in an
exercise program know how hard his/her body is working
during exercise.
Your heart provides key information for determining how
intensely you are working during exercise. Your heart rate (how
many times your heart beats per minute) is really an efficiency
rating for your entire body. The number of times your heart
beats during each minute of exercise is a measurement of the
intensity of the exercise. If your heart rate is low, exercise
intensity is low; if your heart rate is high, your exercise intensity
is high.
1.2.2. What is maximum heart rate?
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is the maximum attainable heart
rate your body can reach before total exhaustion. True
maximum heart rate is measured during a fatigue or “stress”
test. This test must be done in a clinical setting and is not
practical or accessible for most people.
Accessory Tray (2) Provides accessory storage.
Pulse Grips (2) Detects pulse when hands are placed on the grips,
allowing elliptical to calculate and display heart rate.
Bottle Holder (2) Hold bottles/cups.
Table 1-1 Features and Controls (Continued)
Item Description

Introduction
12
Your maximum heart rate can be established with a high
degree of accuracy using the following simple formula:
Estimated Maximum Heart Rate = 220 minus your age.
If John is 35 years old, what is his estimated maximum heart
rate?
John’s estimated maximum heart rate is: 220 - 35 = 185
185 beats per minute is the estimated maximum number of
times John’s heart can beat before his body would fatigue or
“max out.” This number is extremely helpful because it
indicates the absolute highest exercise intensity John can
handle before his body wears out. The ACSM says that during
exercise, John should keep his heart rate below his maximum
so that he will not become exhausted and have to quit. In fact,
the ACSM gives John a specific percentage range of his
maximum heart rate to exercise in, known as his Target Heart
Rate Zone.(THRZ).
1.2.3. Why should I monitor exercise intensity?
Your heart is the most important muscle in your body and, like
all muscles, must be exercised regularly to remain strong and
efficient. According to fitness experts, exercise is more effective
when you work out in a specific heart rate range or zone. This
is referred to as your Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ) and is
reflected by the number of heart beats per minute. This zone
can vary greatly depending on your age, fitness level and
various other factors. If your heart rate is too low during
exercise, your body reaps little or no benefit. This means you’re
not likely to see the results you want, like weight loss or
increased endurance. If your heart rate is too high during
exercise, you may tire too quickly, become fatigued or even run
the risk of injury.
WARNING
The use of this formula assumes no
underlying heart or respiratory disease or
other condition, which could be adversely
affected by exercise. Consult your doctor
before using this chart!

Introduction
13
Monitoring exercise intensity helps you to stay at a level of
exercise that allows you to accomplish your goals. In fact, the
ACSM recommends that, in order to get the most benefit from
your cardiovascular exercise, you should work within your
THRZ for at least 20 to 60 minutes per workout, 3 to 5 times per
week. Knowing your exercise intensity (THRZ) will allow you to
work at the right level of exercise to accomplish this.
1.2.4. How do I determine my Target Heart Rate Zone?
Your THRZ represents the minimum and maximum number of
times your heart should beat in one minute of exercise. The
ACSM recommends that all individuals should work within a
Target Heart Rate Zone of 60% to 85% of Maximum Heart
Rate. This means that your heart rate during exercise should
not fall below 60% or rise above 85% of your maximum heart
rate. Let’s look at John from our earlier example. John is 35
years old, so his estimated maximum heart rate is 220 minus
35, or 185 beats per minute (bpm). The ACSM
recommendation is that John should exercise between 60%
and 85% of 185 beats per minute to stay in his THRZ. Let’s
determine John’s THRZ:
• John’s estimated maximum heart rate: 185 bpm
• Lower target limit: 185 (MHR) X 0.6 111 bpm
• Upper target limit: 185 (MHR) X 0.85 157 bpm
• John’s target heart rate zone: 111-157 bpm
111-157 beats per minute is the range or zone for John’s heart
rate during exercise in order to achieve his goals. If John is a
beginning exerciser, he’ll want to stay at the low end of his
THRZ. If John is a more advanced exerciser, he may want to
work at the higher end of his THRZ to challenge himself more.
The following list shows the different intensity levels within a
target heart rate zone:
• Beginner: 60% of MHR
• Weight Loss: 75% of MHR
• Aerobic: 85% of MHR

1.3. Heart Rate Monitors
Heart rate monitors are built into the elliptical’s pulse grips, and
a wireless chest strap monitor is also available on residential
models.
Exercising too hard can put you at a risk for injury. A heart rate
monitor reminds you of the safe and effective heart rate
intensity at which you should exercise and warns you if your
workouts go too far.
If you want to reach your exercise goals, it’s important to stay in
your THRZ during workouts. A heart rate monitor provides a
reminder of the intensity and quality of each workout session.
Landice heart rate monitors are used to monitor your level of
exercise intensity during workouts. Pulse meters have a high
margin for error. Manual pulse measurements during exercise
can result in errors as high as ±15 beats per minute, with the
risk of potential error increasing as heart rate increases.
1.3.1. Wireless Chest Strap Monitoring System
Note: The wireless chest strap is only available on residential
elliptical models.
The Wireless Chest Strap transmitter works best against bare
skin because sweat (salt water) is an electrical conductor. If
you are having trouble getting an accurate pulse reading, try
moistening the electrodes on the chest transmitter with water.
Figure 1-2. Wireless Chest Strap Transmitter
Center the transmitter on the chest as high under the pectoral
muscles (breasts) as possible. Tighten the strap so that the belt
is as tight as possible without being uncomfortable.

Introduction
15
1.3.2. Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System
The Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System is designed for
slower speeds because the Contact Heart Rate Monitoring
System requires your arms to remain stationary. We
recommend using the pulse grips at speeds less than 4 mph
(6.4 km/h).
The Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System can be used in
place of the wireless chest strap to perform any of the following
functions:
• Monitor your Time in Zone
• Heart Rate Control (HRC) program adjustment
• Help you maintain your Target Pulse
To use the Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System:
1. Switch to any screen that shows Pulse.
2. Grab the hand grips. When you place your hands on the
grips the display flashes. The pulse will “beat” briefly and
then display your heart rate. Your heart rate will be
continuously monitored while your hands remain on the
grips.
The HRC programs make effort level adjustments to maintain
your target heart rate while your hands remain on the grips. If
you remove your hands the HRC programs will not change the
effort level until you place your hands on the grips.
Note: If you are wearing the wireless chest strap, the heart rate
from the pulse grips overrides the wireless signal from the
chest strap while your hands are on the pulse grips. When
you release the grips, the elliptical uses the wireless chest
strap signal for pulse calculation.

1.4. Cardio Elliptical Program Capabilities
The elliptical has the following capabilities:
•5 Built-in Programs: You enter the program’s maximum time
and effort. See page 36.
•3 Specific Goal Programs: The numeric keypad is used to
enter Time Goal, Distance Goal, and Calorie Goal. See
page 41.
•Heart Rate Control (HRC) Programs: The heart rate
program will automatically vary the effort based upon your
target heart rate. This target training maximizes your workout
performance while minimizing your workout time. See
page 42.
•5 User-Defined Programs: A User-Defined Program looks
and runs exactly like a Built-In Program. The primary
difference between Built-In and User-Defined Programs is
customization. User-Defined Programs allow you to manually
edit individual segments. See page 44.
•Fitness Tests: The Fitness Tests will measure your fitness
level based on your age, gender, and performance. Your
Fitness level is calculated using different protocols. See
“Fitness Testing” on page 47.
