MPORTANT PRECAUT ONS
WARN NG: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
tions before using the elliptical crosstrainer.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the elliptical crosstrainer.
2. t is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical crosstrainer are
adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The elliptical crosstrainer is intended for
home use only. Do not use the elliptical
crosstrainer in a commercial, rental, or insti-
tutional setting.
4. Place the elliptical crosstrainer on a level
surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the
floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical crosstrain-
er indoors, away from moisture and dust.
5. nspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the elliptical crosstrainer at all times.
7. The elliptical crosstrainer should not be
used by persons weighing more than 114
kg. (250 pounds).
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the elliptical crosstrainer. Always wear
athletic shoes for foot protection whilst
exercising.
9. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in deter-
mining heart rate trends in general.
10. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the han-
dlebars when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical crosstrainer.
11. Keep your back straight when using the
elliptical crosstrainer; do not arch your
back.
12. f you feel pain or dizziness whilst exercis-
ing, stop immediately and cool down.
13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
to slowly come to a complete stop. The ellip-
tical crosstrainer does not have a free
wheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops.
14. Always unplug the power cord immediately
after use and before cleaning the elliptical
crosstrainer.
WARN NG: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.
This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health prob-
lems. Read all instructions before using. CON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or
property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

HOW TO USE THE ELL PT CAL CROSSTRA NER
HOW TO PLUG N THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. f it should malfunc-
tion or break down, earthing provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This product is equipped with a power
cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug. mportant: f the power cord is dam-
aged, it must be replaced with a manufacturer-rec-
ommended power cord.
Two power cords
are included. Select
the one that will fit
your outlet. See
drawing 1. Plug the
indicated end of the
power cord into the
socket at the front of
the elliptical
crosstrainer.
See drawing 2. Plug
the power cord into
an appropriate outlet
that is properly
installed and earthed
in accordance with all
local codes and ordi-
nances. Note: n
taly, an adaptor
(not included) must be used between the power
cord and the outlet. mportant: The elliptical
crosstrainer is not compatible with GFC -equipped
outlets.
HOW TO EXERC SE ON THE ELL PT CAL
CROSSTRA NER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the
lowest position. Then, 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. t is recommended that you turn the
pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow
below; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal
disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-
als will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest
pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
DANGER: mproper connection of
the equipment-earthing conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product—if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual-
ified electrician.

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 pedals can be changed
with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand-
grip pulse sensor.
The console also offers six Smart programs. Each pro-
gram automatically changes the resistance of the ped-
als and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace
as it guides you through an effective workout.
n addition, the console features two Heart Rate pro-
grams that change the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate
near a target heart rate as you exercise.
The console also features iF T.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iF T.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using an audio cable, you
can connect the elliptical crosstrainer to your home
stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play
special iF T.com CD and video programs (iF T.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iF T.com CD and video 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. To purchase iF T.com CDs
and videocassettes, visit our Web site at
www.iconeurope.com.
With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-
puter, you can also go to our Web site at www.iF T.com
and access programs directly from the internet.
