THE CHEST HEART RATE MONITOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate
monitor consists of
a chest strap and a
sensor. Insert the
tab on one end of
the chest strap into
the hole in one end
of the sensor as
shown. Then, press
the end of the sen-
sor under the buckle
on the chest strap.
The tab should be
flush with the front of
the sensor.
Tabs Strap
Sensor
The heart rate moni-
tor must be worn
under your clothes, j\
tight against your
skin. Wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest in the
location shown.
Make sure that
the logo is right-
side-up. Then, attach the other end of the chest strap
to the sensor. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if
necessary.
Pull the sensor away from your body a few inches and
locate the two electrode areas, which are covered by
shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or
contact lens solution, wet the electrode areas. Then,
return the sensor to a position against your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the sensor with a soft towel after
each use. Moisture may keep the sensor activated,
shortening the life of the battery.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do
not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or
other container that may trap moisture.
Do not expose the heart rate monitor 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 when
using or storing the heart rate monitor.
To clean the sensor, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. Then, wipe the sensor with a
damp cloth and thoroughly dry it with a soft towel.
Never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean
the sensor. Hand wash and air dry the chest strap.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try
the steps below.
Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate moni-
tor as described at the left. If the heart rate monitor
does not function when positioned as described,
move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
If heart rate readings are not displayed until you
begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.
For the console to display heart rate readings, you
must be within arm's length of the console.
If there is a battery cover on the back of the sensor,
replace the battery with a new battery of the same
type.
The heart rate monitor 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 heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference from high power
lines or other sources. If you suspect that magnetic
interference is causing a problem, try relocating the
fitness equipment.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock, The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.
Plug the
power cord Grounded Outlet
into an
appropriate Grounding Pin
outlet that
is properly
installed and
grounded in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances. The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt
circuit.
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.
Lug
Receptacle
Adapter
Metal Screw
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet
box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,
hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the
wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person
lift the rear stabilizer until the elliptical will roll on the
wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITIONS OF THE
PEDALS
Each pedal can be adjusted to several positions. To
adjust each pedal, simply pull the pedal handle out-
ward, move the pedal to the desired position, and
release the pedal handle into an adjustment hole
beneath the pedal. Make sure to adjust both pedals
to the same position.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars or the
upper body arms and step onto the pedal that is in the
lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either direc-
tion. It is recommended that you turn the pedals
in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for
variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite
direction.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you use 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.
While you exercise, the console will display continuous
exercise feedback. You can also measure your heart
rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or the chest
heart rate monitor.
In addition, the console offers thirty onboard workouts.
Each workout automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and the incline of the ramp and prompts you
to vary your pedaling pace as it guides you through an
effective workout. You can also set a calories, distance,
or time goal.
The console also features revolutionary iFit technol-
ogy that enables the console to communicate with your
wireless network through an optional iFit module. With
iFit, you can download personalized workouts, create
your own workouts, track your workout results, race
against other iFit users, and access many other fea-
tures. To purchase an iFit module at any time, go to
www.iFit.com or call the telephone number on the
front cover of this manual.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To turn on the power, see page 20. To use the
manual mode, see page 20. To use an onboard
workout, see page 23. To use a set-a-goal work-
out, see page 24. To use an iFit workout, see page
25. To use the sound system, see page 26. To
change console settings, see page 26.
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display,
remove the plastic.

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before turning on the power. If you do not
do this, you may damage the console displays or
other electrical components.
Plug in the power cord (see
HOW TO PLUG IN THE
POWER CORD on page
16). Next, locate the
power switch on the frame
near the power cord. Press
the power switch to the
reset position.
Reset
Position
The display will then turn on and the console will be
ready for use.
Note: When you turn on the power for the first time,
the ramp may calibrate automatically. The ramp will
move upward and downward as it calibrates. When the
ramp stops moving, the ramp is calibrated.
IMPORTANT: If the ramp does not calibrate auto-
matically, see HOW TO CALIBRATE THE RAMP on
page 28 and manually calibrate the ramp.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER at the left.
2. Select the manual mode.
Press the Manual button on the console to select
the manual mode.
If a wireless iFit module is not inserted into the con-
sole and connected to iFit, the manual mode will be
selected automatically.
3. Change the resistance of the pedals and the
incline of the ramp as desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals
by pressing the Resistance increase and decrease
buttons on the console or on the right handlebar.
Note: After you press a button, it will take a
moment for the pedals to reach the selected resis-
tance level.
To vary the motion of the pedals, you can change
the incline of the ramp. To change the incline,
press one of the numbered 1 Step Power Ramp
buttons on the console or press the 1 Step Power
Ramp increase and decrease buttons on the con-
