FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch
of a button. As you exercise, the console will display
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also features eight smart programs that
automatically change the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pedaling pace while guiding
you through effective workouts.
In addition, the console offers two heart rate programs
that automatically control the resistance of the pedals
and prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace
to keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings
during your workouts.
To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use a
smart program, see page 17. To use a heart rate
program, see page 18.
Note: Before using the console, make sure that batter-
ies are installed (see assembly step 6 on page 8). If
there is a sheet of plastic on the face of the console,
remove the plastic.

HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling, the display will
light.
2. Select a smart program.
To select one of
the eight smart pro-
grams, press the
Smart Programs
button repeatedly
until Program 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8
appears in the display. The program time and a
profile of the resistance levels for the program will
also appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target rpm (pace) setting are programmed for each
segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or
target rpm setting may be programmed for con-
secutive segments.
The resistance level and the target rpm for the first
segment will appear in the center of the display for
a few seconds.
During the program, the profile will show your
progress. The flashing segment of the profile rep-
resents the current segment of the workout. The
height of the flashing segment indicates the resis-
tance level for the current segment. At the end of
each segment of the workout, a series of tones will
sound and the next segment of the profile will
begin to flash. If a different resistance level and/or
target rpm is programmed for the next segment,
the resistance level and/or target rpm will appear
in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The
resistance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise,
you will be
prompted to keep
your pedaling pace
near the target rpm
setting for the cur-
rent segment.
When an upward
arrow appears in the display, increase your pace.
When a downward arrow appears in the display,
decrease your pace. When no arrows appear in
the display, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual pace may be slower than the target rpm
settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that
is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the decrease and increase but-
tons. IMPORTANT: When the current segment
of the program ends, the pedals will automati-
cally adjust to the resistance level for the next
segment.
The program will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the program at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the pro-
gram, simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 15.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 16.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 16.

18
HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis-
play will light.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart rate program, press the Heart
Rate Programs button once or twice until the
desired program is selected.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a
heart rate program,
the maximum tar-
get heart rate
setting will appear
in the center of the
display. Press the
increase and
decrease buttons to change the maximum heart
rate setting if desired. Note: If you change the
maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity
level of the entire program will change.
The program time and a profile of the target heart
rate settings for the program will then appear in
the display.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during a heart rate program;
however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor frequently for the program to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.
5. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into 20 or 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for each segment. Note: The
same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
During the program, the profile will show your
progress. The flashing segment of the profile rep-
resents the current segment of the workout. The
height of the flashing segment indicates the target
heart rate setting for the current segment. At the
end of each segment of the workout, a series of
tones will sound and the next segment of the pro-
file will begin to flash.
As you pedal, the console 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, the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate.

19
You will also be
prompted to pedal
at a steady pace.
When an upward
arrow appears in
the display,
increase your
pace. When a downward arrow appears in the dis-
play, decrease your pace. When no arrows appear
in the display, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you. Note: You can man-
ually override the resistance levels; however, if
you change the resistance levels, you might not
maintain the target heart rate. Also, when the con-
sole 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.
The program will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the program at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the pro-
gram, simply resume pedaling.
6. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 15.
7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 16.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 16.

20
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console displays become dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 6 on page 8
for replacement instructions.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can
be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.
