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 exercise cycle 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 hand-
grip pulse sensor. Note: For information about an
optional chest pulse sensor, see page 21.
The console also offers six resistance and pace pro-
grams. Each program automatically changes the resis-
tance of the exercise cycle 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
exercise cycle and prompt you to vary your pace to
keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as 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 audio
cable, you can connect the exercise cycle to your
home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and
play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control
the resistance of the exercise cycle 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 toll-free 1-888-825-
2588.
With the exercise cycle connected to your computer,
you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and
access programs directly from the internet. Explore

The matrix—When
the manual mode is
selected, the matrix
will show a track rep-
resenting 1/4 mile. As
you pedal, the indica-
tors around the track will light in succession until
the entire track is lit. The track will then darken
and the indicators will again begin to light in suc-
cession.
The Training
Zone bar—The
Training Zone bar
will show your pace
and the approxi-
mate intensity level
of your exercise.
For example, if three or four indicators in the bar
are lit, the bar shows that your pace is ideal for fat
burning. During programs, the Training Zone bar
will also prompt you to increase or decrease your
pace.
The left display—
The left display will
show the elapsed
time, your pedaling
pace (in revolutions
per minute), the dis-
tance you have ped-
aled, and your pedal-
ing speed. The display will change from one num-
ber to the next every few seconds, as shown by
the mode indicators in the display. Note: When a
program is selected, the display will show the
time remaining in the program instead of the
elapsed time.

Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at
the same time, the console may not display
your heart rate accurately.
If there are
thin sheets of
plastic on the
metal con-
tacts on the
handgrip
pulse sensor,
peel off the
plastic. To
measure your
heart rate, hold the contacts; your palms must be
resting on the upper contacts, and your fingers
must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid mov-
ing your hands.
When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped
indicator in the right display will flash each time
your heart beats, one or two dashes (– –) will
appear, 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 pulse sensor,
the right 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. For opti-
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using
a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan
button. Pivot the fan to the desired angle. To turn
on the fan at high speed, press the Fan button a
second time. To turn off the fan, press the Fan
button a third time. Note: If the pedals are not
moved for about thirty seconds, the fan will auto-
matically turn off.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for several seconds, a
tone will sound, the console will pause, and the
left display will begin to flash. If the pedals are not
moved for about five minutes, the console will
turn off and the displays will be reset.

HOW TO USE RESISTANCE AND PACE
PROGRAMS
Press any button on the console or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the six resistance and pace
programs.
When the power is
turned on, the man-
ual mode will be
selected. To select a
resistance and pace
program, press the
Program Select but-
ton repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,” “P 4,”
“P 5,” or “P 6” appears in the right display.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. 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 seg-
ment is shown in the
left column of the
matrix. The resis-
tance settings for
the next five seg-
ments are shown in
the columns to the
right. Note: One bar
in a column represents a resistance setting of
level 1, two bars represent level 2 or 3, three
bars represent level 4 or 5, four bars represent
level 6 or 7, five bars represent level 8 or 9, and
six bars represent level 10.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
When the program is started, the left column of
the matrix will begin to flash, and the exercise
cycle will automatically adjust to the resistance
setting for the first segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
setting for the cur-
rent segment. The
lit indicators in the
bar will show your
actual pace. If an
indicator to the
right of the lit indi-
cators is flashing
(see drawing a),
increase your
pace. If an indica-
tor to the left of
any lit indicator is
flashing (see draw-
ing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is
flashing, your pace matches the pace setting for
the current segment. Important: The pace set-
tings are intended only to provide motivation.
Your actual pace may be slower than the cur-
rent pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
When the first segment of the program ends, 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 left column of the matrix and the
resistance of the exercise cycle will automatically
change to the resistance setting for the second
segment.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting, if desired, by pressing the
Resistance buttons. 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. The pro-
gram will continue until the resistance setting for
the last segment is shown in the left column of
the matrix and the last segment ends.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.

See step 7 on page 13.
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. (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.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep
your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro-
gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between
50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Press any button on the console or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the heart rate programs.
When the power is
turned on, the manu-
al mode will be
selected. To select a
heart rate program,
press the Program
Select button repeat-
edly until an “H 1” or “H 2” appears in the right
display.
During heart rate pro-
grams, the matrix will
show a moving
graphic that repre-
sents your heart rate.
Each time a heart-
beat is detected, an
additional peak will appear.
Enter your age.
When a heart rate
program is selected,
the word “AGE” and
the current age set-
ting will flash in the
left display. You must
enter your age to use
a heart rate program. 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 +
or – button repeatedly to enter your age, and
then press the Enter button. Once you have
entered your age, it will be saved in memory.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 10)
or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently 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 holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
instead of your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
When the program is started, the exercise cycle
will automatically adjust to the resistance setting
for the first segment.
Each program is divided into 20 one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance setting and one target
heart rate setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.
During the last three seconds of each segment,a
series of tones will sound. The resistance of the
exercise cycle will then automatically change if a
different resistance setting is programmed for the
next segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your heart rate near the target heart

rate setting for the
current segment.
The lit indicators
in the bar will
show your actual
pace. When you
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor or
wear the optional
chest pulse sen-
sor, the console
will periodically
compare your
heart rate to the
target heart rate setting for the current segment;
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 target heart
rate setting. If an indicator to the right of the lit
indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase
your pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indi-
cator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your
pace. When no indicator is flashing, your heart
rate is near the target heart rate setting.
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 override the
resistance setting, if desired, by pressing the
Resistance buttons. However, when the next
segment begins, the resistance will change if a
different resistance setting is programmed for the
next segment.
The program will continue until the last segment
ends.
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 two displays.
See step 4 on page 12.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 13.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
