uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. PIug the
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-
edy insta[Ied and grounded in accordance with all
[oca[ codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nomina[ 120-voJt circuit. Important: The
eHiptica[ exerciser is not compatible with GFCl-

the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the pJug
provided with the product--if it win not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a quah
ified electrician.
A temporary
adapter may _rounded Outlet Box
be used to
connect the Adapter
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown at
the right if a Lug
properly Metal Screw
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-poIe receptacJe out-
tet box covers are not grounded. Contact a quail-
fled eJectdcian to determine if the out[et box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
Note: When the power cord is pJugged in, the ellip-
tical exerciser's incline system may automatically
ca{ibrate itseff. During the calibration process,
three dashes (- - -) wiIt appear in the consoJe dis-
play, and the ramp wili rise to the highest position
and then sink to the towest position. The calibra-
tion process wi!l tast for one to two minutes. If the
incline system does not ca!ibrate itseff, see NOW
TO CALIBRATE THE INCLINE SYSTEM on page
21.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion.

Pedals
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop, The eHiptica[ exerciser
does not have a free wheel; the pedals wi[[ contin-

als are stationary, step off the highest pedal first,
Then, step off the lowest pedal,

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and
the angle of the ramp can be changed 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 fifteen preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
elliptical exerciser and prompts you to increase or
decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout.
in addition, the console features four heart rate pro-
grams that automatically change the resistance of the
elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace to
keep your heart rate near a target level as you exer-
cise.
The console also features iFiT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable,
you can connect the elliptical exerciser to your portable
stereo, home stereo, computer, or VCR and play spe-
cial iFIZcom MPS, CD, and video programs (iFIT.com
MP8 programs, CDs, and videoeassettes are available
separately), iFIT.com programs automatically control
the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and prompt
you to vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches
you through every step of your workout. High-energy
music provides added motivation. To purchase and
download iFiT.com MP3 programs, go to
www.iFiT.com. To purchase iFiT.com CDs and
videocassettes, call toll-free 1-888-825-2588.
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-
er, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.
Explore wwwJFlT.com for more information.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 11. To use a preset
program, see page 13. To use a heart rate program,
see page 14. To use an iFIT.com MP3, CD, or video
program, see page 19. To use an iFIT.com program
directly from our Web site, see page 20.

HOW TO USE APRESET PROGRAM
Press any button on the console or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11,
Select one of the fifteen preset programs.
To sebct one of the
fifteen preset pro-
grams, press the
Programs button w..ig_,_Lo_ o
repeatedUy until the
words "Weight Loss,"
"Aerobic," or
"Performance" and the number 1,2, 3, 4, or 5
appear in the center of the dispUay,
When a preset program is sebcted, a profile of
the resistance settings of the program wHUscroll
across the matrix, The center dispUaywHUshow
how bng the program wHUUast,
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Each program is divided into several one-minute
segments, One resistance setting and one pace
setting are programmed for each segment, Note:
The same resistance setting and/or pace setting
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments,
The resistance set-
ting for the first Current Segment
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix, (The
pace settings are not shown in the matrix,) The
resistance settings for the next several segments
will be shown in the columns to the right,
As you exercise, the Target Pace guide wiii help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
setting for the current segment, When the words
"Too Slow" appear in the display, increase your
pace, When the words "Too Fast" appear,
decrease your pace, When the words "On Pace"
appear, your pace matches the pace setting for
the current segment,
Too S_'
(_) On Paz, e
Important: The pace settings are intended
only to provide motivation. Your actual pace
may be sJower than the pace settings. Make
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable
for you.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all resistance set-
tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column,
and the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will
change to the resistance setting for the second
segment, Note: if all of the indicators in the
Current Segment column are lit after the resis-
tance settings have moved to the left, the resis-
tance settings may move downward so only the
highest indicators appear in the matrix,
The program wiii continue until the resistance
setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and the last segment
ends,
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, by pressing the 1 Step Resistance but-
tons, However, when the next segment begins,
the resistance will change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next segment,
if you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause, To restart
