FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When you use the manual mode of the con-
sole, you can change the resistance of the pedals 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 sen-
sor. Note: See page 19 for information about the
optional chest pulse sensor.
The console also offers six preset 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.
In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-
grams that automatically 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 iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like hav-
ing a personal trainer in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the exercise cycle to your
home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and
play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iFIT.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 iFIT.com CDs
and videocassettes, call toll-free 1-877-994-4999.
With the exercise cycle connected to your computer,
you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and

Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either the
handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor. Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse
sensor and wear the chest pulse sensor at the
same time, the console will not display your
heart rate accurately.
If there are
thin sheets of
plastic on the
metal con-
tacts on the
handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the
plastic. To
measure your
heart rate, hold the contacts; your palms must
rest on the contacts closest to you, and your fin-
gers must touch the opposite contacts. Avoid
moving your hands.
When your pulse
is detected, the
heart-shaped indi-
cator in the lower
display will flash
each time your
heart beats, and
your heart rate will be shown. For the most accu-
rate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at
least 15 seconds.
Note: If you continue to hold the pulse sensor, the
lower display will show your heart rate for up to
30seconds. 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 performance,
periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals
to clean the contacts.

To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Cooling
Fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed,
press the button a second time. To turn off the
fan, press the button a third time. Note: If the fan
is turned on but the pedals are not moved for thir-
ty seconds, the fan will turn off automatically.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals do not move for a few seconds, a
tone will sound, the console will pause, and the
upper display will begin to flash.
If the pedals do not move for about five minutes,
the console will turn offand the displays will be
reset.

HOW TO USE PRESET PROGRAMS
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 10.
Select one of the six preset programs.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. To
select a preset
program, press the
Program Select
button repeatedly until “P1,” “P2,” “P3,” “P4,”
“P5,” or “P6” appears in the lower display.
When a preset program is selected, the matrix
will show the first six resistance settings of the
program.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One resistance setting
is programmed for each segment. (The same
resistance setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.)
The resistance
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. The
resistance settings
for the next five
segments will be shown in the columns to the
right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, aseries of tones will sound;
all resistance settings will then move one column
to the left. The resistance setting for the second
segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column and the resistance of
the pedals will automatically change to the resis-
tance setting for the second segment.
The program will continue until the resistance set-
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and no time
remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment by
pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when
the next segment begins, the resistance will auto-
matically 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 pro-
gram, simply resume pedaling.
Use the pace (RPM) guide.
During preset pro-
grams, the pace
guide will prompt
you to increase or
decrease your ped-
aling pace. When
one of the indica-
tors on the left side
of the pace guide
lights, increase
your pace; when
one of the indica-
tors on the right side lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your
current pace. Important: The pace settings of
the program are intended only to provide
motivation. Make sure to pedal at a pace that
is comfortable for you.
Monitor your progress with the displays.
See step 4 on page 10.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 11.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 60 percent and 85 percent of your esti-
mated maximum heart rate while you exercise. Note:
Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting
your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years
old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 (220 –
30 = 190).
Heart rate program 2 will keep your heart rate near a
target heart rate that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 10.

more consecutive segments. If heart rate pro-
gram 2 is selected, the same target heart rate is
programmed for all segments.
If heart rate pro-
gram 1 is select-
ed, the target
heart rate setting
for the first seg-
ment will be
shown in the
flashing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the
next five segments will be shown in the columns
to the right. When only three seconds remain in
the first segment of the program, a series of
tones will sound;
all target heart rate settings will
then move one column to the left. The target
heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.
If heart rate program 2 is selected, the same
target heart rate is programmed for all segments;
therefore, the target heart rate settings will not be
shown in the matrix. When only three seconds
remain in the first segment of the program,a
series of tones will sound and the time will flash
in the right display.
As you pedal,the console will regularly compare
your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically increase or decrease to being your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate.
The pace guide
will help you to
maintain a con-
stant pace during
the program. When
one of the indica-
tors on the left side
of the pace guide
lights, increase
your pace; when
one of the indica-
tors on the right
side lights, decrease your pace. When the center
indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
Important: The pace settings of the program
are intended only to provide motivation. Make
sure to pedal 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 no
time remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can manually
change the resistance setting, if desired, by
pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when
the console compares your heart rate to the tar-
get heart rate, the resistance may automatically
change. If you stop pedaling for several seconds,
atone will sound and the program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the displays.
See step 4 on page 10.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 11.
When you are finished exercising, the con-
sole will turn off automatically.
