CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced 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. As you exercise, the console will provide
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor
or a compatible heart rate monitor. See page 22 for
information about purchasing an optional chest
heart rate monitor.
You can also connect your smart device to the console
and use an iFit®app to record and track your workout
information.
The console also offers sixteen preset workouts—eight
workouts for the recumbent bike mode and eight work-
outs for the elliptical mode. Each workout automatically
changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you
to vary your pedaling speed while guiding you through
an effective workout.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 19. To use
the sound system, see page 20. To use a preset
workout, see page 21. To connect your smart
device to the console, see page 22. To connect
your heart rate monitor to the console, see page
22. To use the settings mode, see page 23.
Note: Before using the console, make sure that
batteries are installed (see assembly step 12 on page
12). If there is a sheet of plastic on the display,
remove the plastic.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1. Turn on the console.
Press any button or begin pedaling to turn on the
console.
When you turn on the console, the displays will turn
on, a tone will sound, and the console will be ready
for use.
2. Select the manual mode.
When you turn on the con-
sole, the manual mode will
be selected automatically.
If you have selected a
workout, reselect the manual
mode by pressing the On/
Reset button.
3. Begin pedaling and change the resistance of
the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change the
resistance of the pedals by
pressing the Resistance
increase and decrease
buttons.
Note: After you press the buttons, it will take a
moment for the pedals to reach the selected
resistance level.
4. Follow your progress with the displays.
The speed meter—This
display will provide a visual
representation of your pedal-
ing speed. As you increase
or decrease your pedaling
speed, bars will appear or
disappear in the speed meter.
Note: During a preset workout, this display will
show a target speed zone for each segment of the
workout.
The upper display—This
display will show your pedal-
ing speed in revolutions
per minute (RPM) and your
power output in watts. The
display will change every few
seconds.
This display will also show the resistance level
of the pedals for a few seconds each time the
resistance level changes.
This display will also show
your heart rate (BPM) when
you use the handgrip heart
rate monitor or a compat-
ible heart rate monitor (see
step 5).
The center display—This
display will show the distance
(Dist.) you have pedaled in
miles or kilometers and the
elapsed time. The display will
change every few seconds.
Note: During a preset workout, the display will
show the time remaining in the workout instead of
the elapsed time.
The lower display—This
display will show your
pedaling speed in miles per
hour or kilometers per hour
and the approximate num-
ber of calories (Cals.) you
have burned. The display will change every few
seconds.
To se l ect a n i nfo r mat i on mo d e for c o nti n uou s

To pause the console, stop pedaling. When
the console is paused, the displays will pause.
To continue your workout, simply resume
pedaling.
To reset the displays to zero, press the On/Reset
button.
Note: The console can show pedaling speed and
distance in either miles or kilometers. To change
the unit of measurement, see THE SETTINGS
MODE on page 23.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either
the handgrip heart rate monitor or a compatible
heart rate monitor. For information about pur-
chasing an optional chest heart rate monitor,
see page 22.
The console is compatible with all BLUETOOTH®
Smart heart rate monitors. To connect your heart
rate monitor to the console, see page 22.
Note: If you use both heart rate monitors at the
same time, the BLUETOOTH Smart heart rate
monitor will have priority.
If there are sheets of
plastic on the metal
contacts on the hand-
grip heart rate monitor,
remove the plastic. In
addition, make sure
that your hands are
clean. To measure
your heart rate, hold
the handgrip heart rate
monitor with your palms
resting against the contacts. Avoid moving your
hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be
shown in the upper display. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least
15 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, 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 performance, 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, a
series of tones will sound, the console will pause,
and displays will pause.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes, the
console will turn off and the displays will be reset.
HOW TO USE THE SOUND SYSTEM
