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 115-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet
with only the elliptical plugged into the circuit.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 18AWG OR
BETTER,WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END:
• To reduce the risk of burns, re electric shock, or injury
to persons:
• An appliance should never be left unattended when
plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use, and
before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate under blanket or pillow. Excessive
heating can occur and cause re, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance
is used by, on, or near children, invalids, or disabled
persons.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been
dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return
the appliance to a service center for examination and
repair.
• Do not carry this appliance by supply cord or use cord
as a handle.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Never operate the appliance with the air openings
blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and the
like.
• Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are
being use or where oxygen is being administered.
• Connect this appliance to a properly grounded outlet

Fitness Equipment Safety Instructions
To disconnect turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet.
• Do not operate equipment on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and equipment may result.
• Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult a physician. This is especially important for persons over the age
of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions.
• Do not attempt to use your equipment for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.
• Keep hands away from all moving parts.
• The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Their purpose is to provide you with an approximate measurement in
relation to your target hear t rate. Use of a chest transmitter strap (sold separately) is a much more accurate method
of hear t rate analysis .Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of hear t rate readings.
The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining hear t rate trends in general.
• Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable for use on your equipment. Quality
athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.
Failure to follow all guidelines may compromise the effectiveness of the exercise experience, expose yourself (and possibly
others) to injury, and reduce the longevity of the equipment.
Important Electrical Instructions
WARNING
NEVER remove any cover without rst disconnecting DC 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).

7
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 15 amp circuit breaker.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If the your equipment 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/15 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 should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet, (shown below) can
be installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored
rigid ear-lug, or the like, extending from the adapter, must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it
must be held in place by a metal screw.

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.
• NEVER use your elliptical during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that could
damage elliptical components. Unplug the elliptical during an electrical storm as a precaution.
• 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 power cord is connected to the elliptical, the console will automatically power up.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
distance window shows the distance total and the time window shows the 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 and
the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up/Down keys.The dot matrix display
will have only the bottom row lit at rst. As you increase the work load more rows will light indicating a
harder workout.The elliptical trainer will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The rst 5 levels are very easy workloads
and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 are
more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15
start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are extremely hard and are good
for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.

19
Basic Information
The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name.When in scan mode during a
program, speed will be displayed for four seconds, then move on and display Watts (indication of
workload). If 100 watts is displayed, you are doing enough work to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The
data changes to Laps completed, Segment time, Max level. Pressing the Enter key again will bring you
back to the beginning.
The Stop key actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will pause
the program for 5 minutes. 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. If the Stop key is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the
console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If
the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program, the console will perform
a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a previous screen or
segment function.This allows you to go back to change programming data.
Program Keys
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-setting mode.
The elliptical trainer has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors

20
on the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart Rate Transmitter
section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds).The Pulse Display Window will
display your heart rate, or Pulse in beats per minute.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool.To turn the fan on, press the key on the left
side of the console.
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 is necessary during the Heart Rate programs 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!
