HOW TO USE THE E IPTICA EXERCISER
HOW TO P UG 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. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into an appro-
priate outlet that is properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances. This product is for use on a nominal 120-
volt circuit. IMPORTANT: The elliptical exerciser is
not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
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 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 elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
HOW TO FO D AND UNFO D THE E IPTICA
EXERCISER
When the elliptical exerciser is not in use, the frame
can be folded out of the way. First, lift the latch under
each pedal arm, and lift the pedal arms off the sleeves
on the crank arms.
Next, raise the pedal arms until they touch the mag-
nets on the upper body legs; the magnets will hold the
pedal arms in place. Then, hold the handle and lift the
frame until it locks in a vertical position.
To use the elliptical exerciser, first hold the handle,
press the latch button, and lower the frame.
Next, pull the pedal arms off the magnets on the upper
body legs. Then, lift the latches under the pedal
arms, and set the pedal arms on the sleeves on the
crank arms. Release the latches, and make sure that
the pedal arms are securely connected to the crank
arms.

FEATURES OF THE CONSO E
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you select the manual mode of the
console, you can change the resistance of the pedals
and the incline of the ramp with the touch of a button.
As you exercise, the console will provide continuous
exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart
rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also offers twenty preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.
The console also offers two custom programs that
allow you to create your own workout programs and
store them in memory for future use.
In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-
grams that change the resistance of the pedals to
keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings
while you exercise.
The console also features the new iFit Interactive
Workout System. The iFit Interactive Workout System
enables the console to accept iFit cards containing
workout programs designed to help you achieve spe-
cific fitness goals. For example, lose unwanted
pounds with the 8-week Weight oss program. iFit
programs control the resistance of the pedals while
the voice of a personal trainer coaches you and moti-
vates you through your workouts. One iFit card with
three new programs is included. Additional iFit cards
are available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go
to www.iFit.com or call the telephone number on
the front cover of this manual. iFit cards are also
available at select stores.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the consoleʼs sound system and listen to your
favorite music or audio books while you exercise.

appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance level and/or target
pace setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress (see the drawing at the left). The
flashing segment of the profile represents the cur-
rent segment of the program. The height of the
flashing segment indicates the resistance level for
the current segment. At the end of each segment
of the program, a series of tones will sound and
the next segment of the profile will begin to flash.
If a different resistance level is programmed for
the next segment, the resistance level will appear
in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The
resistance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise, you
will be prompted to
keep your pedaling
pace near the target
pace setting for the cur-
rent segment. When an
upward-pointing arrow or the prompt SPEED UP
appears next to the pace information in the dis-
play, increase your pace. When a downward-point-
ing arrow or the prompt S OW DOWN appears,
decrease your pace. When no arrow or prompt
appears, maintain your current pace. IMPOR-
TANT: The target pace settings are intended
only to provide motivation. Make sure to pedal
at a pace that is comfortable for you.

the program, the program time, and the maximum
pace and resistance level will appear in the display
for a few seconds. A profile of the resistance levels
of the program will then appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each custom program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance level and/or tar-
get pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress. The flashing segment of the profile
represents the current segment of the program.
The height of the flashing segment indicates the
resistance level for the current segment. At the
end of each segment of the program, a series of
tones will sound and the next segment of the pro-
file will begin to flash. If a different resistance level
is programmed for the next segment, the resis-
tance level will appear in the display for a few sec-
onds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will
then change.
As you exercise, you
will be prompted to
keep your pedaling
pace near the target
pace setting for the cur-
rent segment. When an
upward-pointing arrow or the prompt SPEED UP
appears next to the pace information in the display
(see step 4 on page 17), increase your pace.
When a downward-pointing arrow or the prompt
S OW DOWN appears, decrease your pace.
When no arrow or prompt appears, maintain your
current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pace set-
tings are intended only to provide motivation.
Make sure to pedal at a pace 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 OneTouch Resistance but-
tons. However, when the current segment ends,
the pedals will automatically adjust to the resis-
tance level for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The
program will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the pro-
gram ends.
4. Change the program if desired.
If desired, you can change the program while
using it. To change the resistance level for the
current segment, simply press the OneTouch
Resistance buttons. At the end of the current seg-
ment, the new resistance level will be stored in
memory. To change the target pace for the cur-
rent segment, simply change your pedaling pace.
At the end of the current segment, your pace will
be stored in memory. You can continue exercising
and changing the program for up to thirty minutes.

5. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 17.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 15.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 15.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 15.
HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 14.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the heart rate programs, press the
Heart Rate Programs button repeatedly until the
words HEART RATE 1 or HEART RATE 2 appear
in the display.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after you select a heart rate pro-
gram, the words ENTER MAX TARGET HEART
RATE FOR THIS WORKOUT will appear in the
display and the number 110 will begin to flash.
During heart rate program 1, the same target
heart rate setting will be programmed for all seg-
ments of the program. If you have selected heart
rate program 1, press the increase and decrease
buttons above the Heart Rate Programs button to
enter the desired target heart rate setting (see
EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23).
During heart rate program 2, different target
heart rate settings will be programmed for different
segments of the program. If you have selected
heart rate program 2, press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Programs
button to enter the desired maximum target heart
rate setting for the program (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 23).
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during heart rate programs; how-
ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor
frequently for the programs to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.

5. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout,
stop exercising or select a different program
before the program ends.
Heart rate program 2 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile in the dis-
play will show your progress. The flashing seg-
ment of the profile represents the current segment
of the program. The height of the flashing segment
indicates the target heart rate setting for the cur-
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the
program, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash.
During both programs, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting for the current segment of the program. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
Each time the resistance changes, the resistance
level will appear in the display for a few seconds
to alert you.
While you exercise, you
will be prompted to
maintain a constant
pedaling pace. When
an upward-pointing
arrow or the prompt
SPEED UP appears next to the pace information
in the display (see step 6 on this page), increase
your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or
the prompt S OW DOWN appears, decrease your
pace. When no arrow or prompt appears, maintain
your current pace.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance but-
tons. However, when the console compares your
heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resis-
tance of the pedals may automatically increase or
decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the tar-
get heart rate setting.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The
program will continue until the last segment of the
program ends.
6. Follow your progress with the display.
During heart rate program 1, the display will
show a graphic that represents a heartbeat each
time your heartbeat is detected, the elapsed time,
and the distance that you have pedaled. During
heart rate program 2, the display will show the
program profile, the time remaining in the pro-
gram, and the distance that you have pedaled.
To view the profile, your pedaling pace, and the
distance you have pedaled, press the Display but-
ton. Note: The words SPEED UP or S OW DOWN
may appear in the display to prompt you to keep
your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for
the current segment.
To view the time remaining in the program and the
distance pedaled, press the Display button. Press
the Display button again to view the time remain-
ing and the approximate number of calories
burned.
To view the time remaining, distance pedaled,
ramp incline, number of grams of carbs burned,
and pedaling pace, press the Display button again.
Note: An upward- or downward-pointing arrow may
appear in the display to prompt you to keep your
pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the
current segment.
To view the first display again, press the Display
button again.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 15.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
