HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap
into one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset
drawing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the
buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with
the front of the sensor unit.
Next, wrap the
chest pulse sen-
sor around your
chest and attach
the other end of
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Adjust the length
of the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse sen-
sor should be under your clothes, tight against your
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or
breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on
the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor
unit to a position against your chest.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate moni-
tor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when
it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If
the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it
may remain activated longer than necessary,drain-
ing the battery prematurely.
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor 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 unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions below explain how the chest
pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest
pulse sensor does not function properly, try the
steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-
sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as
described, move it slightly lower or higher.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sen-
sor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• Make sure to position yourself near the console. For
the console to display heart rate readings, the
user must be within arm’slength of the console.
• The chest pulse sensor 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 chest pulse sensor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the exercise cycle.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
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
with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the con-
sole will provide continuous exercise feedback. You
can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor or the included chest pulse sensor.
The console also offers four preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling speed as it guides you through an effective
workout.
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
is compatible with iFIT cards containing workout pro-
grams designed to help you achieve specific fitness
goals. For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-
week Weight Loss program. iFIT programs control the
resistance of the pedals while the voice of a personal
trainer coaches you and motivates you through your
workouts. One demo iFIT Card 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 console’ssound system and listen to your
favorite music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode of the console,follow the
steps beginning on page 16. Touse a preset
program,see page 18. Touse a heart rate program,
see page 19. To use an iFIT program,see page 20.

the program and the maximum resistance level will
appear in the display for a few seconds. A profile
of the resistance levels of the program will also
scroll across the left side of the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into 30 one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one target pace
setting is programmed for each segment. Note:
The same resistance level and/or target pace set-
ting may be programmed for consecutive seg-
ments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the program. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level 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. If a differ-
ent resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals will then change.
During the program, the program target pacer will
prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the
target pace setting for the current segment. When
aleft indicator lights, increase your pace; when a
right indicator lights, decrease your pace. When
the center indicator lights, maintain your current
pace. IMPORTANT: The program target pacer is
intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to
pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
resistance level by pressing the OneTouch
Resistance buttons. However, when the current
segment ends, the resistance of the pedals will
automatically adjust to the resistance 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 ends.
4. Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 4 on page 16.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 17.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 17.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 17.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Press any button on the console or begin ped-
aling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 16.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the heart rate programs, press
the Heart Rate 1 or the Heart Rate 2 button on the
left side of the console.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after you select a heart rate pro-
gram, the target heart rate setting for the program
will flash in the lower right display.
During heart rate pro-
gram 1, the same tar-
get heart rate setting
will be programmed for
all segments of the pro-
gram. If you have
selected heart rate program 1, press the increase
and decrease buttons above the Heart Rate
Program buttons to enter the desired target heart
rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page
22).
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 Program
buttons to enter the desired maximum target heart
rate setting for the program (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 22).
4. Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the
handgrip pulse sensor.
Touse a heart rate program, you must wear the
chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor.Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor
and wear the chest pulse sensor at the same
time, the console will not display your heart rate
accurately.
If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not nec-
essary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continu-
ously during heart rate programs; however, 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 seg-
ment indicates the target heart rate setting 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.
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, the program target pacer will
prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling
speed. When a left indicator lights, increase your
pace; when a right indicator lights, decrease your
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain
your current pace. IMPORTANT: The program
target pacer is intended only to provide a goal.
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
resistance level by pressing the OneTouch
Resistance buttons. However, when the console
compares your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting, the resistance of the pedals may automati-
cally increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target 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 displays.
