HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product
must be
grounded.
If it should
malfunction
or break
down,
grounding
provides a
path of least
resistance for
electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This prod-
uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. IMPORTANT:
The elliptical exerciser is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown at
the right if a
properly
grounded
outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip-
tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically
calibrate itself. During the calibration process,
three dashes (– – –) will appear in the console dis-
play, and the ramp will rise to the highest position
and then sink to the lowest position. The calibra-
tion process will last for one to two minutes. If the
incline system does not calibrate itself, see HOW
TO CALIBRATE THE INCLINE SYSTEM on page 22.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
and 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.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser
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.
DANGER: Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding 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 elliptical exerciser and
the angle of the ramp 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 handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also offers fifteen preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
elliptical exerciser and prompts you to increase or
decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout.
In addition, the console features four heart rate pro-
grams that automatically change the resistance of the
elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace
to keep your heart rate near a target level 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 a stereo audio
cable, you can connect the elliptical exerciser to your
portable stereo, home stereo, computer, or VCR and
play special iFIT.com MP3, CD, and video programs
(iFIT.com MP3 programs, CDs, and videocassettes
are available separately). iFIT.com programs automati-
cally control the resistance of the elliptical exerciser
and prompt you to vary your pace as a personal train-
er coaches you through every step of your workout.
High-energy music provides added motivation. To pur-
chase and download iFIT.com MP3 programs, go
to www.iFIT.com. To purchase iFIT.com CDs and
videocassettes, call the telephone number 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.iFIT.com for more information.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 12. To use a preset pro-
gram, see page 14. To use a heart rate program,

2. Select one of the fifteen preset programs.
To select one of the
fifteen preset pro-
grams, press the
Programs button
repeatedly until the
words “Weight Loss,”
“Aerobic,” or
“Performance” and the number 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
appear in the center of the display.
When a preset program is selected, a profile of
the resistance settings of the program will scroll
across the matrix. The center display will show
how long the program will last.
3. Press the Start button or 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 set-
ting for the first seg-
ment will be shown
in the flashing
Current Segment
column of the
matrix. (The pace
settings are not shown in the matrix.) The resis-
tance settings for the next several segments will
be shown in the columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Target Pace guide will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace set-
ting for the current segment. When the words “Too
Slow” appear in the display, increase your pace.
When the words “Too Fast” appear, decrease your
pace. When the words “On Pace” appear, your
pace matches the pace setting for the current seg-
ment.
IMPORTANT: 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 elliptical exerciser will
change to the resistance setting for the second
segment. Note: If all of the indicators in the
Current Segment column are lit after the resis-
tance settings have moved to the left,
the resis-
tance settings may move downward so only the
highest indicators appear in the matrix.
The program will continue until the resistance set-
ting 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 1 Step Resistance but-
tons. 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.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a target heart rate setting during your work-
out.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
1. Press any button on the console or begin ped-
aling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
2. Select one of the four heart rate programs.
To select a heart rate
program, press the
Programs button
repeatedly until the
words “Heart Rate”
and the number 1, 2,
3, or 4 appear in the
center of the display.
As each heart rate program is selected, a profile of
the target heart rate settings of the selected pro-
gram will scroll across the matrix. The center dis-
play will show how long the program will last.
3. Enter a maximum target heart rate setting.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the
heart symbol and the
word “RATE” will
appear in the right dis-
play and the maximum
target heart rate setting
will flash. If desired, press the Heart Rate buttons
to change the maximum target heart rate setting.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 6 on page 13). It
is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuous-
ly during the program. However, you should hold
the handgrips frequently for the program to oper-
ate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.

16
5. Press the Start button to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into one-minute
segments. One target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get 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 column of
the matrix. The tar-
get heart rate settings for the next seven seg-
ments 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 tar-
get heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.
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 setting, the resistance of the elliptical
exerciser will automatically increase or decrease
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate setting.
The Target Pace guide will prompt you to increase
or decrease your pedaling pace during the pro-
gram. When the words “Too Slow” appear in the
display, increase your pace. When the words “Too
Fast” appear, decrease your pace. When the
words “On Pace” appear, maintain your current
pace.
IMPORTANT: The target heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al heart rate may be slower than the target
heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue until the target heart
rate setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column of the matrix and the last
segment ends.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current segment,
if desired, with the 1 Step Resistance buttons.
However, when the console compares your heart
rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance
of the elliptical exerciser may automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate clos-
er 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.
6. Adjust the angle of the ramp as desired.
See step 4 on page 12.
7. Monitor your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 12.
8. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 13.
9. When the program is finished, the console will
automatically turn off.
See step 8 on page 13.
