THE CHEST HEART RATE MONITOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate
monitor consists of
a chest strap and a
sensor. Insert the
tab on one end of
the chest strap into
the hole in one end
of the sensor as
shown. Then, press
the end of the sen-
sor under the buckle
on the chest strap.
The tab should be
flush with the front of
the sensor.
Tabs Strap
Sensor
The heart rate moni-
tor must be worn
under your clothes, j\
tight against your
skin. Wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest in the
location shown.
Make sure that
the logo is right-
side-up. Then, attach the other end of the chest strap
to the sensor. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if
necessary.
Pull the sensor away from your body a few inches and
locate the two electrode areas, which are covered by
shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or
contact lens solution, wet the electrode areas. Then,
return the sensor to a position against your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the sensor with a soft towel after
each use. Moisture may keep the sensor 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 sun-
light for extended periods of time; do not expose it to
temperatures above 122 ° F (50° C) or below 14° F
(-10° C).
Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor when
using or storing the heart rate monitor.
To clean the sensor, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. Then, wipe the sensor with a
damp cloth and thoroughly dry it with a soft towel.
Never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean
the sensor. Hand wash and air dry the chest strap.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try
the steps below.
Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate moni-
tor as described at the left. If the heart rate monitor
does not function when positioned as described,
move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
• If heart rate readings are not displayed until you
begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.
• For the console to display heart rate readings, you
must be within arm's length of the console.
• Ifthere is a battery cover on the back of the sensor,
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.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician
to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLiPTiCAL

HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
17.
2. Select a preset workout.
To select a preset workout, press the 15 Calorie
Workouts or the 15 Performance button repeatedly
until the desired workout appears in the display.
When you select a preset workout, the display will
show the duration of the workout and the name of
the workout. A profile of the speed settings of the
workout will appear in the matrix.
The display will also show the maximum pedaling
speed (rpm), the maximum resistance level, and
the maximum ramp level.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into one-minute segments.
One resistance level, one ramp incline level, and
one target rpm (speed) are programmed for each
segment. Note: The same resistance level, ramp
incline level, and/or target rpm may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
The resistance level, the ramp incline level, and the
target rpm for the first segment will appear in the
matrix.
During the
workout,
the pro-
files on
the speed
and incline
tabs will
show your
progress.

Profile
The flashing segment of the profile represents the
current segment of the workout. The height of the
flashing segment indicates the target speed or the
incline level for the current segment.
At the end of each segment of the workout, a
series of tones will sound and the next segment of
the profile will begin to flash, if a different resis-
tance level, ramp incline level, and/or target rpm is
programmed for the next segment, the resistance
level, ramp incline level, and/or target rpm will
appear in the display for a few seconds to alert
you. The resistance of the pedals and the incline
level of the ramp will then change.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your
pedaling speed near the target rpm for the current
segment. When an upward-pointing arrow appears
in the display, increase your pace. When a down-
ward-pointing arrow appears, decrease your pace.
When no arrow appears, maintain your current
pace.
iMPORTANT: The target rpm is intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed
may be slower than the target rpm. Make sure
to pedal at a speed that is comfortable for you.
ifthe resistance level or incline level for the current
segment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Resistance
buttons or the 1 Step Power Ramp buttons.
iMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level programmed for
the next segment and the ramp will automati-
cally adjust to the incline level programmed for
the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.
