FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, you can change the resistance of the pedals
with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the con-
sole will provide continuous exercise feedback. You
can even monitor your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
The console also offers a selection of preset programs.
The two calorie goal programs allow you to choose a
calorie-burning goal for your workout. As you exercise,
the console will count the calories that you burn until
the goal is reached.
The two pulse control programs automatically control
the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
increase or decrease your pedaling pace to keep your
heart rate near a target heart rate setting during your
workout.
The distance program counts the number of revolu-
tions that you pedal during your workout, until you
have completed 5,000 revolutions.
The three resistance & rpm programs automatically
change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
vary your pedaling pace as they guide you through an
effective workout.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. aving iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable
(available at electronics stores), 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 separately). 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. igh-energy music
provides added motivation. To purchase iF T.com
CDs and videocassettes, call the telephone num-
ber on the front cover of this manual.
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-
er, you can also go to our website at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.
Explore www.iF T.com for more information.

display.
f pulse control pro-
gram 3 is selected, a
profile of the target
heart rate settings of
the program will scroll
across the center of
the display.
f pulse control pro-
gram 4 is selected, a
pulse symbol will
appear in the center
of the display. Each
time a heartbeat is
detected while you
are using the handgrip pulse sensor, the pulse
symbol will reappear.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during a pulse control pro-
gram; however, you should hold the handgrip
pulse sensor frequently for the program to oper-
ate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal
contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Pulse control program 3 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. 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 col-
umn in the center of
the display. The tar-
get heart rate settings for the next four 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.
Pulse control program 4 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-
ent program before the program ends.
During both pulse control programs, the con-
sole will regularly compare your heart rate to the
target heart rate setting. 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.
After the first minute of the program, the Pace
Coach will prompt you to maintain a consistent
pedaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow”
arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one
of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain
your current pace.
mportant: 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, by pressing the increase and
decrease buttons. owever, when the console
compares your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting, the resistance of the pedals may auto-
matically 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 display.

HOW TO USE THE D STANCE PROGRAM
Press the Resistance decrease button or
begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after the console is turned on, the dis-
play will light.
Select the distance program.
Press the Programs
button repeatedly until
“P 5” and a goal of
5,000 revolutions
appear in the display.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
When the distance program is used, the console
will function in the same way as when the manual
mode is selected, except the right side of the dis-
play will show the number of revolutions still to be
pedaled instead of the number of revolutions you
have pedaled. When the calorie goal is reached, a
tone will sound and the time will stop incrementing
in the display.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 15.
HOW TO USE A RES STANCE & RPM PROGRAM
Press the Resistance decrease button or
begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after the console is turned on, the dis-
play will light.
Select one of the resistance & rpm programs.
Press the Programs
button repeatedly until
“P 6,” “P 7,” or “P 8”
appears in the right
side of the display.
When a resistance &
rpm program is select-
ed, a profile of the resistance settings of the pro-
gram will scroll across the center of the display.
The left side of the display will show how long the
program will last.
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 in
the center of the dis-
play. (Note: The pace
settings are not shown in the display.) The resis-
tance settings for the next four segments will be
shown in the columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Pace Coach will help you to
keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for
the current segment. When one of the “Too Slow”
arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one
of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain
your current pace.

mportant: 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 pedals will change to the
resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If
all of the indicators in the Current Segment col-
umn are lit after the resistance settings have
moved to the left, the resistance 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 increase or decrease but-
ton. owever, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will change if a different resistance set-
ting 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.
