Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
DANGER -To reduce the risk of electric shock:
Always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet
immediately after using and before cleaning.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, re, electric shock, or injury
to persons, install the elliptical on a at level surface with access to a 110-
volt, 5-amp grounded outlet with only the elliptical plugged into the circuit.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR
BETTER,WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END:
• Do not operate elliptical on deeply padded, plush or
shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and elliptical
may result.
• Keep children away from the elliptical.There are
obvious pinch points and other caution areas that can
cause harm.
• Keep hands away from all moving parts.
• Never operate the elliptical if it has a damaged cord
or plug. If the elliptical is not working properly, call your
dealer.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not operate where aerosol spray products are
being used or where oxygen is being administered.
Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous
environment.
• Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
• Do not use outdoors.
• To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, then
remove the plug from the outlet.
• Do not attempt to use your elliptical for any purpose
other than for the purpose it is intended.
• The hand pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Their purpose is to provide you with an approximate
measurement in relation to your target heart rate. Use
of a chest transmitter strap (sold separately) is a much
more accurate method of heart rate analysis.Various
factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the
accuracy of heart rate readings.The pulse sensors are
intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate
trends in general.
• Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals
or bare feet are not suitable for use on your elliptical.
Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid
leg fatigue.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or metal capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Keep children under the age of 13 away from this
machine.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!

Important Electrical Instructions
WARNING
NEVER remove any cover without rst disconnecting AC power.
If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance
of your Elliptical may be affected. Such conditions are not covered
under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your
local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this elliptical to rain or moisture.This product
is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any
other high humidity environment. The operating temperature
specication is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95%
non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not
rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a elliptical
is rst turned on or even during use. If your elliptical is tripping
the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current
rating) but the circuit breaker on the elliptical itself does not trip,
you will need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush
type.This is not a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a
manufacture have no ability to control. This part is available through
most electrical supply stores. Examples: Grainger part # 1D237, or
available online at www.squared.com part #QO120HM.The electrical
outlet used should have a dedicated 5 amp circuit breaker.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If the elliptical should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding plug.The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if you are
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will
not t the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt/5 amp
dedicated circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like
the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter

Important Operation Instructions
• NEVER operate this elliptical trainer without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational
change you request from the computer.
• Understand that changes in resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired resistance level on the computer
console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while pedaling on your elliptical trainer; such as watching television,
reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in serious injury.
• Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little nger
pressure.

POWER
When the A.C. power cord is connected to the Elliptical, the console will automatically power up. In
stand-by mode the console display will turn off.To turn the console on press any key.When initially
powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on.
When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software version (i.e.: VER 1.0). The window
shows the distance total and total hours of use.The odometer will remain displayed for only a few
seconds then the console will go to the start up display.The dot matrix display will be scrolling through
the different proles of the programs and the Message Center will be scrolling the start up message.
You may now begin to use the console.
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key
to begin.This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero, all
workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up and
Down buttons. The dot matrix display will show a ¼ mile (0.4km) track display or just the bottom row
lit at rst, depending on how the display button has been set (see Basic information below). As you
increase the workload more rows will light indicating a harder workout.The Elliptical will get harder
to pedal as the rows increase. The dot matrix has 24 columns of lights and each column represents 1
minute. At the end of the 24th column (or 24 minutes of work) the display will wrap around and start
at the rst column again.
There are 20 levels of resistance – displayed as 10 rows of lights - available for plenty of variety. The
rst 5 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set to a good progression.

18
for de-conditioned users. Levels 5-10 are more challenging but the increases from one level to the next
remain small. Levels 10-15 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 15-20 are
extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
Basic Information
The Dot Matrix, or Prole Window, has two display modes. When you begin a program the dot matrix
will display the workout Prole. To the left of the dot matrix there is a button labeled Display. Pressing
this button once will switch the display to show a quarter mile track. If the Display button is pressed
again the dot matrix will switch back and forth between Track and Prole mode every few seconds. To
turn off the scan mode press the Display key again. This will return you to the prole display mode.
The Message Window will initially be displaying Time and Distance information. On the bottom left
of the Message Window is a button labeled Display. Each time this Display button is pressed the
next set of information will appear, four windows in all. In order:Time and Distance, Pulse and Kcal
(Calories), Speed in RPM and MPH, Work Level and Watts, then METs. If the Display button is
pressed during the METs display the Scan light will come on and the Message Window will show
each set of data for four seconds then switch to the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the
Display button again will bring you back to the beginning.
Below the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar Graph. The Elliptical has a built in heart
rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors, or wearing a heart rate chest belt
transmitter, will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Message Window will
display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute. The Bar Graph represents the percentage of your
maximum heart rate you are currently achieving. NOTE: You must enter your age during program setup

19
for the Bar Graph to be accurate. Refer to Heart Rate section for details about these features and how
they can help you work out more efciently.
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a
program will pause the program for 5 minutes (when you stop pedaling without AC power the display
will turn off but the memory will be saved for 5 minutes just like the pause mode). If you need to get
a drink, answer the phone, or any of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great
feature. To resume your workout during Pause just press the Start key or start pedaling. If the Stop/
Reset button is pressed twice during a workout the program will end and the console will return
to the start up screen. If the Stop/Reset key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform
a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen
function.This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop/Reset
key.
The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you rst turn the console on you may
press each program key to preview what the program prole looks like. If you decide that you want
to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the
program and enter into the data-setup mode.
The program keys also act as a Number Key Pad when you are in the data-setup mode. Under each
program key is a number. If you are setting new data such as age, weight etc., you can use these keys to
enter the numbers quickly.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool.To turn the fan on press the key on the right
side, front of the console

20
Programming The Console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your
needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct.You will be
asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age ensures that the Heart Rate bar graph shows
the correct number.Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate control program to ensure the
correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high or
low for you; entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we
cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not
accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The
only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines.This is because
every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at
an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have nished exercising!
Entering A Program & Changing Settings
When you enter a program (by pressing a program key, then Enter key) you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just
press the Start key.This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your
workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the Message
Window. If you start a program without changing the settings the default - or pre-saved – settings will
be used.
