HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PU SE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor has two components: a chest
strap and a sensor unit (see the drawing below). nsert
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 sensor
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 sensor
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 PU SE SENSOR CARE
• Dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The
chest pulse sensor is activated when you wet the
electrode areas and put on the chest pulse sensor;
the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed
and the electrode areas are dried. f the chest pulse
sensor is not dried after each use, the battery may
be drained 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 or 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. Hand wash
and air dry the chest pulse sensor.
CHEST PU SE SENSOR TROUB ESHOOTING
If the chest pulse sensor does not function prop-
erly, try the suggestions below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-
sor as described at the left. Note: f the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as
described, move it slightly lower or higher on your
chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sen-
sor unit. f heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• Position yourself near the console. For the console
to display heart rate readings, the user must be
within armʼs length 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. f it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the elliptical strider.

HOW TO USE THE E IPTICA STRIDER
HOW TO P UG IN THE AC POWER ADAPTER
This product
must be
grounded. f it
should malfunc-
tion 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 an AC power adapter having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug
the AC power adapter into the jack on the front of
the elliptical strider. Then, plug the AC power
adapter into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. IMPORTANT:
The elliptical strider 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 out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
HOW TO MOVE THE E IPTICA STRIDER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical strider,
moving it requires two persons. Have two persons
lift the indicated end of the elliptical strider until the
elliptical strider will roll on the front wheels. Carefully
move the elliptical strider to the desired location and
then lower it to the level position. CAUTION: To
decrease the risk of injury, bend your legs and
keep your back straight. Make sure to use your
legs rather than your back to lift the elliptical
strider. Do not attempt to move the elliptical
strider over an uneven surface.
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.

• A profile of the target
stride lengths
• The duration of the
workout
• The maximum stride
length
• The maximum
speed (in steps per
minute)
3. Press the WORKOUT START button or begin
striding to start the workout.
Each preset workout is divided into 25, 30, 45, or
60 one-minute segments. One resistance level
and one stride length is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance level and/or
stride length may be programmed for consecutive
segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing column of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
column indicates the stride length for the current
segment. At the end of each segment of the work-
out, a series of tones will sound and the next seg-
ment of the profile will begin to flash. f a different
resistance level is programmed for the next seg-
ment, the resistance level of the pedals will then
change.
As you exercise, keep your
stride length near the target
stride length for the current
segment, which is shown in
the stride length meter in
the center display. IMPOR-
TANT: The target stride
length settings are
intended only to provide
motivation. Your actual
stride length may be
shorter or longer than the
target stride length. Make sure to stride at a
length that is comfortable for you.
f the stride length for the current segment is too
long or too short, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the STR DE LENGTH buttons.
However, when the current segment ends, the
stride length meter will automatically adjust to the
target stride length for the next segment.
f the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the QU CKTOUCH RES S-
TANCE buttons. However, when the current seg-
ment ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to
the resistance level for the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment of the profile flashes. To stop the workout
at any time, stop striding. To resume the workout,
simply resume striding or press the WORKOUT
START BUTTON.
