HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components—
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the instruc-
tions below to put on the chest pulse sensor.
See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on one end
of the chest strap through the hole in one end of the
sensor unit. Then, press the end of the sensor unit
under the buckle on the chest strap.
Wrap the
chest pulse sen-
sor around your
chest, and
attach the free
end of the chest
strap to the sen-
sor unit as
described
above. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if neces-
sary. The chest pulse sensor should be under your
clothing, against your skin, and as high under the pec-
toral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure
that the logo is right-side-up and facing forward.
Next, pull the
sensor unit
away from your
body a few inch-
es and locate
the two elec-
trode areas on
the inner side.
Using a 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 TROUBLESHOOTING
If the chest pulse sensor does not function proper-
ly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high
or low, try the troubleshooting steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-
sor as described at the left. If the chest pulse sensor
does not function when positioned as described,
move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use
saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solu-
tion to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor
unit (see the drawing below). If heart rate readings
do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the
electrode areas.
• Make sure that you are within arm’s length of the
console.
• If you wear the chest pulse sensor and hold the
handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the console
will not display your heart rate accurately.
• 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
magnetic interference may be causing a problem,
try relocating your exercise equipment.
• If the chest pulse sensor still does not function prop-
erly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:
Hold the chest
pulse sensor
and place your
thumbs over
the electrode
areas as
shown. Next,
hold the chest
pulse sensor near the console. While holding one
thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb
against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap
per second. Check the heart rate reading on the
console.

•If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly
after you have followed all of the above instructions,
the battery should be replaced in the following way:
Locate the battery
cover on the back of
the sensor unit.
Insert a coin into the
slot in the cover, turn
the cover counter-
clockwise, and
remove the cover.
Remove the old bat-
tery and insert a
new CR 2032 bat-
tery. Make sure
that the battery is
turned so the writ-
ing is on top.
Replace the battery
cover and turn it
clockwise to close
it.
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 chest pulse sen-
sor 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
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose
the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122°
Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit
(-10° Celsius).
• 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.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO FOLD AND UNFOLD THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
While the elliptical exerciser is not in use, the frame can
be folded out of the way. First, lift the latch under each
pedal leg, and lift the pedal legs off the sleeves on the
crank arms.
Next, raise the pedal legs until they touch the magnets
on the upper body arms; the magnets will hold the
pedal legs in place. Then, hold the handle firmly with
both hands, pull and hold the latch lever, lift the
frame to the position shown below, and release the
latch lever.
To use the elliptical exerciser, hold the handle firmly
with both hands, pull and hold the latch lever,
lower the frame slowly to the floor, and then
release the latch lever.
Next, pull the pedal legs off the magnets on the upper
body arms. Then, lift the latches under the pedal
legs, and set the pedal legs on the sleeves on the
crank arms. Release the latches, and make sure that
the pedal legs are securely connected to the crank
arms.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

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 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 pedals can be changed
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 chest pulse sensor.
The console also offers eight preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-
grams that automatically change the resistance of the
pedals and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your
heart rate near a target heart rate while you exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using the included stereo
audio cable, you can connect the elliptical exerciser to
your portable stereo, home stereo, computer, or VCR
and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs
(iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available sepa-
rately). iFIT.com programs automatically control the
resistance of the pedals 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 iFIT.com CDs and
videocassettes, call the toll-free telephone number
on the front cover of this manual.
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.

To use the chest pulse sensor, see page 10. To
use the handgrip pulse sensor, follow the instruc-
tions below. Note: If you wear the chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at
the same time, the console will not display
your heart rate accurately.
If there are sheets
of clear plastic on
the metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor, peel
off the plastic. To
measure your heart
rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor, with your
palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid
moving your hands or gripping the contacts
tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will
be shown in the lower display. For the most accu-
rate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at
least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the
handgrip pulse sensor, the lower display will show
your heart rate for up to 30 seconds. The display
will then show your heart rate along with the other
modes.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Be care-
ful not to move your hands excessively or to
squeeze the metal contacts too tightly.

HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Press any button on the console or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 15.
Select one of the eight preset programs.
To select a preset program, press one of the but-
tons labeled “20 minutes,” “30 minutes,” or “45
minutes.” Note: Each “30 minutes” button can be
used to select two programs.
When a preset pro-
gram is selected, a
profile of the resis-
tance settings of the
program will scroll
across the matrix. In
addition, the program
time will appear in the upper display, and the
maximum resistance setting of the program will
flash in the lower display for a moment.
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
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the
flashing 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 will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
setting for the current segment. When one of the
“Too Slow” indicators lights, increase your pace;
when the one of the “Too Fast” indicators lights,
decrease your pace; when the “On Pace” indica-
tor lights, maintain your current pace.
Important: The pace settings are intended
only to provide motivation. Your actual pace
may be slower 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 will 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
the program, simply resume pedaling.

Put on the chest pulse sensor or hold the
handgrip pulse sensor.
To put on the chest pulse sensor, see page 10.
To use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not neces-
sary to hold the handgrips continuously during
the program. However, you should hold the hand-
grips frequently for the program to function prop-
erly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse
sensor, keep your hands on the metal con-
tacts for at least 30 seconds.
Press the Start button to start the program.
The first heart rate program—This program is
divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target
heart rate setting is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same target heart rate setting
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.
The target heart
rate setting for the
first segment will
be shown in the
flashing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. The
target heart rate
settings for the next several segments will be
shown in the columns to the right.
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 target heart
rate settings will move one column to the left.
The target heart rate setting for the second seg-
ment will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column.
The second heart rate program—This program
is divided into 40 one-minute segments. The
same target heart rate is programmed for all seg-
ments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercis-
ing or select a different program before the pro-
gram ends.
Both heart rate programs—As you pedal, the
console will regularly compare your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting for the current seg-
ment. 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.
The Target Pace guide will prompt you to
increase or decrease your pedaling pace during
the program. When one of the “Too Slow” indica-
tors lights, increase your pace; when the one of
the “Too Fast” indicators lights, decrease your
pace; when the “On Pace” indicator lights, main-
tain your current pace.
Important: The target heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual heart rate may be slower than the tar-
get heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise
at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, with the 1 Step Resistance but-
tons. 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 tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the matrix, the
Training Zones bar, and the displays.
See step 4 on page 15.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 16.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
