HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
To mount the elliptical trainer, firmly hold the pulse
sensor and carefully step onto the pedal that is in the
lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you turn the
pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow
below; however, for variety, you may turn the
pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical trainer, allow the pedals to
come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical trainer
does not have a free wheel; the pedals will contin-
ue to move until the flywheel stops. When the ped-
als are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.
Then, step off the lowest pedal.
The handlebars
are designed to
add upper-body
exercise to your
workouts. As you
exercise, push
and pull the han-
dlebars to work
your arms,
shoulders, and
back. To exer-
cise only your
lower body, hold
the pulse sensor
as you exercise.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS
As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the pedals
with the resistance knob on the console (see the
drawing above). To increase the resistance, turn the
knob clockwise; to decrease the resistance, turn the
knob counterclockwise. Important: The knob may
not stop turnin when the maximum or minimum
resistance settin is reached. When the knob
becomes difficult to turn, stop turnin it or dam-
a e will result.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The easy-to-use console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. As you exercise, the console will display your
current speed, the elapsed time (or the time remaining
in a pace program), the distance that you have ped-
aled, the approximate number of calories you have
burned, the approximate number of fat calories you
have burned (see Fat Burning on page 13), and your
heart rate (when you use the pulse sensor). If the scan
mode is selected, the display will change from one
mode to the next every few seconds. Or, you can select
a single mode for continuous display.
The console also offers four pace programs. Each pro-
gram automatically prompts you to increase or
decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout.
Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face
of the console, remove it before operating the console.
The console can show speed and distance in either
miles or kilometres. To chan e the unit of measure-
ment, hold down the On/Reset button for about six
seconds. When the batteries are replaced, it may be
necessary to reselect the desired unit of measure-
ment.

Turn on the console.
Note: If you have not installed batteries, see
assembly step 3 on page 5.
To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button
or begin pedalling.
Select the manual mode.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be select-
ed. If a pace
program has
been selected,
select the manual mode by pressing the Program
button repeatedly until the upper right corner of
the display is blank.
Be in exercisin and adjust the resistance of
the elliptical trainer.
As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the
elliptical trainer as desired by turning the resis-
tance knob.
Follow your pro ress with the feedback modes
and the left pace indicator.
When the con-
sole is turned
on, the scan
mode will be
selected. As
you exercise,
the display will
show your cur-
rent speed, the elapsed time, the distance that
you have pedalled, the current resistance level,
and the approximate numbers of calories and of
fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING
on page 13). In addition, your heart rate will be
shown when you use the pulse sensor. Note:
When a pace program is selected, the display will
show the time remaining in the program instead
of the elapsed time.
If desired, you can select a single feedback mode
for continuous display. Press the Display button
repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time,
Miles (or Kms), Cals., or Fat Cals. indicator
appears in the display. Make sure that the Scan
indicator does not appear.
In addition, the
left pace indicator
will appear in the
display to show
your exercise
pace. As you
increase or
decrease your
pace, the indica-
tor will increase
or decrease in height.
To reset the display at any time, press the
On/Reset button.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If there
are thin sheets
of plastic on
the metal con-
tacts on the
pulse sensor,
peel off the
plastic.
To use the pulse sensor, place your hands on the
metal contacts. Your palms must be on the upper
contacts and your fingers must be touching the
lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When
your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator
in the display will flash each time your heart
beats. After a moment, two dashes (– –) will
appear and then your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note:
When you first hold the handgrips, the display will
show your heart rate continuously for 15 sec-
onds. The display will then show your heart rate
along with the other feedback modes.
When you are finished exercisin , the console
will automatically turn off after a few minutes.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-
sole will automatically turn off to conserve
the batteries.
