HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the low-
est position. Next, 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. It is recommended that you move 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 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 highest
pedal first. Then, step offthe lowest pedal.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars are
designed to add
upper-body exer-
cise to your work-
outs. Push and pull
the handlebars as
you exercise to
work your arms,
shoulders, and
back.
To exercise only your lower body, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor as you exercise.
HOW TO ADJUST THE STRIDE OF THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To adjust the stride of the elliptical exerciser, first pull
one of the adjustment knobs until the adjustment
bracket can be pivoted freely. Then, pivot the adjust-
ment bracket until the adjustment knob is aligned with

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective. When
the manual mode of the console is selected, the resis-
tance of the pedals can be changed with the touch of
abutton. As you pedal, the console will provide contin-
uous exercise feedback. You can even measure your
heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
In addition, the console features two pulse programs
that change the resistance of the pedals and help you
to maintain a steady pedaling pace to keep your heart
rate near a target heart rate setting while you exercise.
The console also offers four preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.
To use the manual mode of the console, see the
instructions at the right. To use a pulse program, see
page 13. Touse a preset program, see page 14.
Before using the console, make sure that batteries are
installed (see assembly step 5 on page 7). If there is a
sheet of clear plastic on the display, remove the plastic.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press the Increase button
or begin pedaling. The pace guide will light for a
moment; the console will then be ready for use.
Select the manual mode.
When the power is turned on, the manual mode
will be selected. If you have selected a program,
reselect the manual mode by pressing the
Program button repeatedly until no program indi-
cators (see the drawing above) appear along the
left side of the display.
Change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
As you pedal,
change the resis-
tance of the pedals
by pressing the
Increase and
Decrease buttons.
There are ten resis-
tance levels. Note: After the buttons are pressed,
it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the
selected resistance level.

Monitor your progress with the display.
The upper half of
the display will
show the elapsed
time, the distance
(total revolutions)
you have pedaled,
and the resistance
level of the pedals. The display will change from
one mode to the next every few seconds. Note:
When a program is selected (except for pulse pro-
gram 2), the display will show the time remaining
in the program instead of the elapsed time.
The lower half of
the display will
show your pedal-
ing speed (revolu-
tions per minute
[RPM]) and the
approximate num-
ber of calories you have burned. The display will
change from one mode to the other every few
seconds. The lower half of the display will also
show your heart rate when you use the handgrip
pulse sensor (see step 5).
Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are
sheets of clear
plastic on the
metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the plas-
tic. Next, hold the
handgrip pulse
sensor with your palms resting on the contacts.
When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped
indicator in the lower half of the display will flash
each time your heart beats, and your heart rate
will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30
seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart
rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then
show your heart rate along with the other modes.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Avoid
moving your hands excessively or squeezing the
metal contacts too tightly. For optimal perfor-
mance, periodically clean the metal contacts
using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives,
or chemicals.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan
at low speed, press
the fan button. To
turn on the fan at
high speed, press
the fan button a
second time. To
turn offthe fan,
press the fan button a third time. Note: If the fan
is turned on but the pedals are not moved for thir-
ty seconds, the fan will automatically turn off to
conserve the batteries.
Rotate the thumb tab on the right side of the fan
to adjust the angle of the fan.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, the
time will begin to flash and the console will pause.
If the pedals are not moved for a few minutes,
the console will turn off and the display will be
reset.

HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM
Pulse program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate
within a set range during your workout. Pulse program
2is designed to keep your heart rate near a target
heart rate setting that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
Select a pulse program.
To select pulse
program 1 or 2,
press the Program
button repeatedly
until the number 1
or 2 appears
along the left side
of the display.
Enter a target heart rate.
If pulse program 1 is selected, the maximum
target heart rate setting for the program will flash
in the display (see the drawing above). Press the
Increase and Decrease buttons to change the
setting, if desired (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 16). If the maximum target heart rate
setting is increased or decreased, the intensity
level of the entire program will increase or
decrease.
If pulse program 2 is selected, the target heart
rate setting for the entire program will flash in the
display. Press the Increase and Decrease buttons
to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 16).
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during a pulse program;
however, you must hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor frequently. Each time you hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the
metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note:
When you are not holding the handgrip pulse
sensor,the letters PLS will appear in the display
instead of your heart rate.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Pulse program 1 is30 minutes long, and is
divided into several time periods of different
lengths. One target heart rate is programmed for
each period. Pulse program 2 is sixty minutes
long (you may choose to use only part of the pro-
gram). The same target heart rate is programmed
for the entire program.
During the program, 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
being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate
setting. Note: If the resistance level is too high or
too low, you can override it by pressing the
Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when
the console compares your heart rate to the tar-
get heart rate setting, the resistance may auto-
matically change.
After the first minute of the program, the pace
guide will help you to maintain a steady pedaling
pace. When one of the two lower indicators
lights, increase your pace; when one of the two
upper indicators lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your
current pace. Important: The pace guide is
intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to
pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The display will show the time remaining in pulse
program 1, or the elapsed time in pulse program
2. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the
program will pause and the time will flash in the
display. To restart the program, simply resume
pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the display.

See step 7 on page 12.
HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Preset programs 3, 4, 5, and 6 automatically change
the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
increase or decrease your pedaling pace as they
guide you through effective workouts. The profiles
printed on the left side of the display show how the
resistance level and the target pace will change dur-
ing the preset programs.
Follow the steps below to use a preset program.
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
Select a preset program.
Toselect preset
program 3, 4, 5, or
6, press the
Program button
repeatedly until
the number 3, 4,
5, or 6 appears
along the left side
of the display.When a preset program is select-
ed, the display will show how long the program
will last.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each preset program consists of several time
periods of different lengths. One resistance level
and one target pace are programmed for each
period.
At the end of each period of the program, the
resistance level will flash in the display for a few
seconds. The resistance of the pedals will then
automatically change to the resistance level that
isprogrammed for the next period. Note: If the
resistance level is too high or too low, you can
override it by pressing the Increase and
Decrease buttons. However, when the current
period ends, the resistance level will automatical-
ly change if a different resistance level is pro-
grammed for the next period.
During the program, the pace guide will prompt
you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace.
When one of the two lower indicators lights,
increase your pace; when one of the two upper
indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the
center indicator lights, maintain your current
pace. Important: The pace guide is intended
only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
The display will show the time remaining in the
program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds,
the program will pause and the time will flash in
the display. Torestart the program, simply resume
pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 12.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 12.

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
asmall 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 5 on page
7for replacement instructions.
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 alco-
hol, abrasives, or chemicals.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded offto the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above
your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.”
The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates
for fat burning; the highest number is the recommend-
ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
Toburn fat effectively,you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
Ifyour goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone as you exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up,consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise,consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
A cool-down,with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
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 determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
