HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO PLUG 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 crosstrainer
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 FOLD AND UNFOLD THE ELLIPTICAL
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 magnets
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.

DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To move the elliptical exerciser, first fold it as
described at the left. Next, stand in front of the ellipti-
cal exerciser, hold the handgrip pulse sensors, and
place one foot against the center of the front stabilizer.
Pull the pulse sensors until the elliptical exerciser will
roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical
exerciser to the desired position, and then lower it.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the upper body
arms and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest posi-
tion. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals
until they begin to move with a continuous motion.
Note: The crank arms can turn in either direction.
It is recommended that you turn the crank arms in
the direction shown by the arrow at the right; how-
ever, for variety you can turn the crank arms in the
opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals
will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the higher
pedal first. Then, step off the lower pedal.

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
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 specif-
ic 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 iFIT Card with three new
programs is included. Additional iFIT Cards are avail-
able separately. To purchase iFIT Cards, go to
www.iFIT.com or call the toll-free telephone num-
ber 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’s stereo sound system and listen to
your favorite music or audio books while you exercise.

of the resistance levels of the program will then
appear in the display.
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 tar-
get pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). 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 seg-
ment 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 pro-
grammed 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
current 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 16), increase
your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or
the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease
your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears,
maintain your current pace. Important: The tar-
get pace settings are intended only to provide
motivation. 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 setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, 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 flashes and the last segment of the pro-
gram ends.

the settings for the program will appear in the dis-
play for a few seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program, and
program the desired settings.
Each custom program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. You can program one resis-
tance level and one target pace setting for each
segment.
To program a resistance level for the first seg-
ment, simply adjust the resistance of the pedals
by pressing the OneTouch Resistance buttons. To
program a target pace for the first segment, sim-
ply pedal at the desired pace.
At the end of the first segment, the program will
store the current resistance level and your current
pace in memory. Program a resistance level and
a target pace for the second segment as
described above.
Continue exercising for up to forty minutes. Stop
pedaling when you are finished with your work-
out. The program you created will then be stored
in memory. Note: If your workout is less than thirty
minutes long, any remaining segments in the pro-
gram will be stored with the last resistance level
and target pace setting you programmed.
When the program is finished, the console
will turn off automatically.

HOW TO USE A CUSTOM PROGRAM
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
Select a custom program.
To select a custom program, press the Custom
Programs button repeatedly until the words CUS-
TOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 appear in the display.
When you select a custom program, the name of
the program, the program time, and the maximum
pace and resistance level will appear in the dis-
play for a few seconds. A profile of the resistance
levels of the program will then appear in the dis-
play.
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
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
current 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 16), increase
your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or
the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease
your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears,
maintain your current pace. Important: The tar-
get pace settings are intended only to provide
motivation. 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 setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, 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 flashes and the last segment of the pro-
gram ends.
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.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
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.
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 22).
During heart rate program 2, different target
heart rate settings will be programmed for differ-
ent segments of the program. If you have select-
ed 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 22).
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during heart rate programs;
however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor frequently for the programs to operate proper-
ly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, keep your hands on the metal contacts
for at least 30 seconds.

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
display will show your progress. The flashing seg-
ment of the profile represents the current seg-
ment of the program. The height of the flashing
segment 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 tar-
get heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals
will automatically increase or decrease to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set-
ting. Each time the resistance changes, the resis-
tance level will appear in the display for a few
seconds to alert you.
While you exercise,
you will be prompted
to maintain a con-
stant 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 SLOW 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
buttons. However, when the console compares
your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
resistance of the pedals may automatically
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.
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 SLOW
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 set-
ting for the current segment.
To view the first display again, press the Display
button again.
Turn on the fan if desired.
