To get the best performance from the chest pulse sen-
sor, please read the instructions below.
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 steps
below to put on the chest pulse sensor.
See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on
one end of the chest strap through one end of the
sensor unit as shown. Then, press the end of the
sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap.
Wrap the
chest pulse
sensor
around
your chest.
Attach the
free end of
the chest
strap to the sensor unit as described above.
Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary.
The chest pulse sensor should be under your
clothing, against your skin, and as high under the
pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
Make sure that the logo is facing forward and is
right-side-up.
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 steps below.
• Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is worn
exactly as described in step 2 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 in step 3 at the left). If heart
rate readings do not appear until you begin perspir-
ing, re-wet the electrode areas.
• Make sure that you are within arm’s length of the
console. For the console to display heart rate
readings, the user must be within arm’s 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. 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 counterclock-
wise, 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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The state-of-the-art console offers an impressive array
of features. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed
with a 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 or the chest pulse sensor.
The console also offers 15 certified personal trainer
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 four heart rate control
programs that automatically change the resistance of
the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace to keep
your heart rate near a target level as you exercise.
The console even measures your body fat percentage,
provides custom programs based on personal data
that you enter, and displays your fat burning or weight
loss progress.
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 audio
cable, you can connect the exercise cycle to your
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play
special iFIT.com CD programs (CDs are available sep-
arately). IFIT.com CD 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 pro-
vides added motivation. Each CD features two pro-
grams designed by certified personal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the exercise cycle to your
VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (video-
cassettes are available separately). Video programs
offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, and
allow you to enjoy breathtaking scenery while you
exercise. To purchase iFIT.com CDs and videocas-
settes, call toll-free 1-888-825-2588.
With the exercise cycle connected to your computer,
you can also go to www.iFIT.com and use programs
directly from our Web site. Explore www.iFIT.com for

the manual mode or
the iFIT.com mode
is selected, the
matrix will display a
1/4-mile track. As
you pedal, the indi-
cators around the track will light, one at a time,
until the entire track is lit. The track will light once
each time you pedal 1/4 mile.
The Training Zone
bar—The Training
Zone bar will indicate
the approximate
intensity level of your
exercise. For exam-
ple, if three or four indicators in the bar are lit, the
bar shows that your pace is ideal for fat burning.
Note: During programs, the Training Zone bar will
also prompt you to increase or decrease your
pace.
The main display—The main display will show
the following information:

tacts; your palms must be resting on the contacts
closest to you, and your fingers must be touching
the contacts on the opposite side of the handle-
bar. Avoid moving your hands.
When your pulse is
detected, the Heart
Rate indicator above
the right side of the
main display will light,
two dashes (– –)
will appear in the
main display, and then your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading,
hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
Note: If you continue to hold the contacts, the
main display will show your heart rate for up to
30 seconds. The main 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-

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 pedals will automatically
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the second segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
in the bar will show
your actual pace. If
an indicator to the
right of the lit indica-
tors is flashing (see
drawing a), increase
your pace. If an indi-
cator to the left of
any lit indicator is
flashing (see drawing
b), decrease your
pace. When no indi-
cator is flashing, your
pace matches the
pace setting for the current segment. Important:
The pace settings are intended only to pro-
vide motivation. Your actual pace may be
slower than the current pace setting. Make
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable
for you.
The program will continue in this way until the
main display shows that no time remains in the
program.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However,when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next
segment. If you stop pedaling for several sec-
onds, a tone will sound and the program will
pause. To restart the program, simply resume
pedaling.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. Note: Your maximum heart
rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum
heart rate is 190 (220 – 30 = 190).
Heart rate program 1 will keep your heart rate
between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate;
heart rate program 2 will keep your heart rate
between 55% and 85%; heart rate program 3 will
keep your heart rate between 60% and 85%; heart
rate program 4 will keep your heart rate between 50%
and 85%.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the four heart rate programs.
When the power is turned on, the manual mode
will be selected. To select a heart rate program,
press the Program Select button repeatedly until
the words “HEARTRATE 1,” “HEARTRATE 2,”
“HEARTRATE 3,” or “HEARTRATE 4” appear in
the main display.
Three seconds after a program is selected, the
name of the selected program and the total pro-
gram time will scroll across the main display.
The current age setting will then begin to flash in
the main display.
During heart rate pro-
grams, the matrix will
show a graphic that
represents your heart
rate. Each time a
heartbeat is detect-
ed, an additional
peak will appear.

Enter your age.
You must enter your age to use a heart rate pro-
gram. If you have already entered your age,
press the Enter button and go to step 4. If you
have not entered your age, press the Up Arrow
or Down Arrow button repeatedly to enter your
age, and then press the Enter button. Once you
have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.
Wear the chest pulse sensor or hold the
handgrip pulse sensor.
To use the chest pulse sensor, see page 9.
To use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not neces-
sary to hold the handgrips continuously during
the program. However, you should hold the
handgrips frequently for the program to operate
properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hold-
ing the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in
the right side of the display instead of your heart
rate.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-
minute segments. (The main display will show
both the time remaining in the program and the
time remaining in the current segment of the pro-
gram.) One resistance setting is programmed for
each segment. (The same resistance setting may
be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.)
At the end of each segment, a series of tones will
sound. The resistance of the pedals will then
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis-
tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the
resistance by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next seg-
ment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your heart rate near the current tar-
get heart rate for the program. The lit indicators
in the bar will show your actual pace. When you
wear the chest pulse sensor or hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, the console will periodically com-
pare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate; if necessary,
an indicator in the
bar will then flash
to prompt you to
increase or
decrease your
pace to bring your
heart rate closer to
the current target
heart rate. If an
indicator to the
right of the lit indi-
cators is flashing
(see drawing a),
increase your
pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator
is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace.
When no indicator is flashing, your heart rate is
near the current target heart rate. Important:
The target heart rates are intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual heart rate
may be slower than the current target heart
rate. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
The program will continue in this way until the
main display shows that no time remains in the
program.
Note: If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the program will end. Heart
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and
then restarted.
Monitor your progress with the main display.
See step 4 on page 13.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
