HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exercis-
er, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of
the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and place one
foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on the
upright and have a second person lift the base until
the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels.
Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical
exerciser
rocks slightly
on your floor
during use,
turn one or
both of the lev-
eling feet
beneath the
base or
beneath the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
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 crank arm covers can turn in either direction.
It is recommended that you turn the crank arm
covers in the direction shown by the arrow below;
however, for variety, you can turn the crank arm
covers in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser 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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The revolutionary console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you use the manual mode of the
console, you can change the resistance of the pedals
with the touch of a button. While you exercise, the
console will display continuous exercise feedback. You
can also measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
Interactive Cross Trainer Programs
The console features nine interactive cross trainer pro-
grams designed to help you to burn calories and
develop your cardiovascular system while toning and
strengthening your muscles. The cross trainer pro-
grams automatically control the resistance of the ped-
als and prompt you to perform a variety of strength
exercises during your workout. Choose an upper body,
lower body, or total body cross trainer program to
focus your workout. Note: The strength exercises
require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exer-
cise ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or
an exercise ball, call the telephone number on the
front cover of this manual.
Smart Programs
In addition, the console offers three smart programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling
pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
Heart Rate Programs
The console also 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.
Interactive Games
The console features two motivational interactive
games. Using the dual game controllers, play the chal-
lenging Fat Blocker™ game or the fast-paced Calorie
Destroyer™ game during your workouts—the harder
you exercise, the greater the advantage you will have!
The console keeps track of the four highest scores for
each game—compete with other users or try to top
your own high score.
Stereo Sound System
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console’s stereo sound system and listen to
your favorite music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 14. To use a cross trainer
program, see page 15. To use a smart program,
see page 17. To use a heart rate program, see page
18. To play the Fat Blocker game, see page 19. To

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets
of clear plastic on
the metal con-
tacts on the hand-
grip pulse sensor,
remove the plas-
tic. To measure
your heart rate,
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor with
your palms resting

dashes will appear in the display, and then your
heart rate will appear. For the most accurate heart
rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 sec-
onds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate
for up to 30 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 metal contacts too tightly. For opti-
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using a
soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals to clean the contacts.

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 one of the two heart rate program, press
the Certified Personal Trainer Programs button
repeatedly until Heart Rate 1 or 2 appears in the
display. The program time and a profile of the tar-
get heart rate settings for the program will also
appear in the display.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a
heart rate program,
the maximum tar-
get heart rate set-
ting will flash in the
center of the dis-
play. If desired, use
the increase and
decrease buttons to change the maximum target
heart rate setting, and then press the Enter button.
Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate
setting, the intensity level of the entire program will
change. See EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 22
for information about recommended heart rates.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during a heart rate program; how-
ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor
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 either 20
or 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate
setting is programmed for each segment. Note:
The same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment
will be indicated by the height of the flashing col-
umn of the profile in the display. The target heart
rate settings for the next several segments will be
indicated by the heights of the columns to the right
of the flashing column.
When the first segment of the program ends, the
entire profile will shift one column to the left. The
target heart rate setting for the second segment
will then be shown in the flashing column of the
profile.
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 pedals will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
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 display,
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 manually
override the resistance settings; however, you may
not maintain the target heart rate. Also, when the
console compares your heart rate to the target
heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals may
automatically 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 14.
7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 15.
8. Turn on the fan if desired.

HOW TO PLAY THE FAT BLOCKER GAME
The Fat Blocker game requires quick thinking and fast
reflexes. In addition to the console buttons, you will
use the four-button game controllers on the handlebar
to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the
Fat Blocker game.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the display will light.
2. Select the Fat Blocker game.
To select the Fat Blocker game, press the Fat
Blocker button. The words FAT BLOCKER will
appear at the top of the display.
3. Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Fat Blocker game, a game
arena will appear in the center of the display.
A block composed of four or five black squares will
slowly move downward until it reaches the bottom
of the arena. Another block will then move down-
ward. There are blocks of eight different shapes.
As each block falls, you can move it to the left or
right using the left and right buttons on the left
controller. In addition, you can rotate the block
counterclockwise or clockwise using the left and
right buttons on the right controller. Once you have
positioned and oriented a block, you can speed its
motion to the bottom of the arena, if desired, by
pressing the down button on either controller.
Your goal is to
maneuver the
blocks so that they
form a complete
row of black
squares across the
entire arena. Each
time you complete a row of black squares, the row
will disappear, and all blocks above will move
downward one row.
As you play, the blocks will fall faster and faster;
however, your pedaling pace will affect the speed
of the blocks—the faster you pedal, the more
slowly the blocks will fall, giving you extra time to
position and orient the blocks. The game will con-
tinue until any part of a stacked block reaches the
top of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show your
final score and the level of play that you reached.
The display will then show the four highest scores
recorded since the scores were reset. If desired,
press and hold down the right button on either
controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is
one of the four highest, the display will prompt you
to enter a name consisting of three letters or dig-
its. While the line below the first letter is flashing,
press the up and down buttons on either controller
to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the
right button on either controller and select another
letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third
letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either
controller again. The display will then show the
four highest scores recorded since the scores
were reset.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
While you exercise and play the Fat Blocker
game, the corners of the display will show the
elapsed time, the approximate number of calories
you have burned, and your pedaling pace. In addi-
tion, the display will show your current score and
the game level that you have reached.
To pause the game, press the Display button. To
resume the game, press the Display button
repeatedly until the words FAT BLOCKER appear
at the top of the display, and then begin pedaling.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.

HOW TO PLAY THE CALORIE DESTROYER GAME
The Calorie Destroyer game is a fast-paced game that
pits you against a squadron of laser-firing drones. In
addition to the console buttons, you will use the four-
button game controllers on the handlebar to play the
game. Follow the steps below to play the Calorie
Destroyer game.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the display will light.
2. Select the Calorie Destroyer game.
To select the Calorie Destroyer game, press the
Calorie Destroyer button. The word DESTROYER
will appear at the top of the display.
3. Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Calorie Destroyer game, a
game arena will appear in the display. Three rows
of drones will begin to move across the top of the
arena, periodically firing their lasers downward.
Each time the drones reach the left or right side of
the arena, they will reverse direction and move
downward.
At the bottom of the arena is a laser blaster. You
can fire the laser blaster at the drones by pressing
the up button on either controller. In addition, while
you are pedaling, you can move the laser blaster
to the left or right using the left and right buttons
on either controller. The faster you pedal, the
faster the laser blaster will move.
Between the drones and the laser blaster are five
shields. You can hide the laser blaster below a
shield if desired. However, each time a shield is hit
by a laser, a piece will be vaporized.
Your goal is to keep the laser blaster from being
hit and to keep any drone from reaching the bot-
tom of the arena. If the laser blaster is hit, it will be
disabled and another laser blaster will appear in its
place; there are a total of four laser blasters. If you
vaporize the entire squadron of drones, a new
squadron will appear.
As you play, the drones will move faster and
faster. The game will continue until all four laser
blasters are disabled or a drone reaches the bot-
tom of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show the
level of play that you reached and your final score.
The display will then show the four highest scores
recorded since the scores were reset. If desired,
press and hold down the right button on either
controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is
one of the four highest, the display will prompt you
to enter a name consisting of three letters or dig-
its. While the line below the first letter is flashing,

While you exercise and play the Calorie Destroyer
game, the upper left corner of the display will
show the elapsed time. In addition, the display will
show the game level that you have reached and
your current score.
To pause the game, press the Display button. To
resume the game, press the Display button
repeatedly until the word DESTROYER appears at
the top of the display, and then begin pedaling.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
