HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you plug in the power adapter. If
you do not do this, you may damage the console
displays or other electronic components.
Plug the power
adapter into the recep-
tacle on the frame of
the elliptical. Insert
the appropriate plug
adapter into the power
adapter if necessary.
Then, plug the power
adapter into an appro-
priate outlet that is
properly installed in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,
hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the
wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person
lift the handle until the elliptical will roll on the wheels.
Carefully move the elliptical to the desired location, and
then lower it to the floor.

slightly on your
floor during use,
turn one or both
of the leveling feet
beneath the rear of
the frame until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder is designed for use
with most full-size tablets. Do not place any other
electronic device or object into the tablet holder.
To insert a tablet into
the tablet holder, set
the bottom edge of the

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
See the drawing at the right. To mount the elliptical,
hold the handlebars or the upper body arms and step
onto the pedal that is in the lower position. Then, step
onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin
to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedals
can turn in either direction. It is recommended that
you turn the pedals in the direction shown by the
arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the pedals
in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have
a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary,
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower
pedal.

4. Follow your progress with the display.
The display can show the following workout
information:
Calories (Cals.)—This display mode will show the
approximate number of calories you have burned.
Calories per Hour (Cals./Hr)—This display mode
will show the approximate number of calories you
are burning per hour.
Distance (Dist.)—This display mode will show
the distance that you have pedaled in miles or
kilometers.
Pulse—This display mode will show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip heart rate monitor or
the optional chest heart rate monitor (see step 5).
Resistance (Resist.)—This display mode will
show the resistance level of the pedals.
RPM—This display mode will show your pedaling
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Speed—This display mode will show your pedaling

each segment represents the amount of calories
burned during that segment.

20
As you exercise, the workout intensity level bar
will indicate the approximate intensity level of your
exercise.
To pause the console, press the Pause/End button
or the Home button or simply stop pedaling. When
the console is paused, the time will flash in the
display. To continue your workout, simply resume

monitor).Note: The console is compatible with
BLUETOOTH®Smart heart rate monitors.
Note: If you use both heart rate monitors at the
same time, the chest heart rate monitor will
have priority.
If there are
sheets of plas-
tic on the metal
contacts on the
handgrip heart
rate monitor,
remove the plas-
tic. To measure
your heart rate,
hold the handgrip
heart rate monitor with your palms resting against
the contacts. Avoid moving your hands or grip-
ping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, a heart symbol
will appear in the display, one or two dashes will
appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. For
the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
contacts for at least 15 seconds.
If the display does not show your heart rate, make
sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
to squeeze the contacts tightly. For optimal perfor-
mance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean
the contacts.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, the
console will pause, and the time will flash in the
display.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes, the
console will turn off and the display will be reset.
