HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
To mount the elliptical trainer, hold the pulse grips and
step onto the pedal that is in the lowest 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 rec-
ommended that you turn the pedal disks in the
direction shown below; however, to give variety to
your exercise, you may choose to turn the pedal
disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical trainer, allow the pedals to
come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical
trainer 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 off the lowest pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS
As you exercise,
adjust the resis-
tance of the ped-
als with the
resistance knob
on the console.
To increase the
resistance,
turn the knob
clockwise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.
Important: When it becomes difficult to turn the
knob, stop turning it or damage will result.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative console features six modes that pro-
vide instant exercise feedback during your workouts.
The modes are described below.
Speed—Displays your pedalling speed, in
kilometres per hour.
Time—Displays the elapsed time. Note: If you
stop pedalling for ten seconds or longer, the
time mode will pause until you resume.
Distance—Displays the total distance you
have pedalled, in kilometres.
Fat Calories—Displays the approximate num-
ber of fat calories you have burned. (See FAT
BURNING on page 12.)
Calories—Displays the approximate number
of calories you have burned.
Scan—Displays the speed, time, distance, fat
calories, and calories modes, for 5 seconds
each, in a repeating cycle.
Pulse—This mode shows your heart rate
when the pulse sensor is used.

HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE
Note: The console requires two 1.5V batteries. See
assembly step 6 on page 7 for battery installation
instructions.
1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or
simply begin pedalling. When the power is turned
on, the entire display will appear for two seconds.
The console will then be ready for operation.
2. Select one of the six modes:
Scan mode—
When the power
is turned on, the
scan mode will
automatically be
selected. One
mode arrow will
show that the
scan mode is
selected, and a
flashing mode arrow will show which mode is cur-
rently displayed. Note: If a different mode is select-
ed, you can select the scan mode again by repeat-
edly pressing the mode button.
Speed, time, dis-
tance, fat calo-
ries, or calories
mode— To select
one of these
modes for contin-
uous display,
press the mode
button repeatedly.
The mode arrows will show which mode is select-
ed. Make sure that the scan mode is not selected.
3. To reset the display, press the on/reset button.
4. To turn off the power, simply wait for a few minutes.
Note: The monitor has an “auto-off” feature. If
the pedals are not moved and the monitor but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the
power will turn off automatically in order to
conserve the batteries.
HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR
Note: Before using the pulse sensor, peel the pro-
tective vinyl covering off the metal contacts on
the top and bottom of the pulse sensor.
To use the pulse
sensor, place
your hands on
the metal con-
tacts. Your
palms must be
resting on the
upper contacts
and your fingers
must be touch-
ing the lower
contacts. Avoid
moving your hands.
After a moment, the heart-shaped indicator in the dis-
play will begin to flash, three dashes (– – –) will
appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. For
the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold
the contacts for about 15 seconds.
Note: If your heart rate is not shown, press the
on/reset button to reset the display. In addition,
make sure that your hands are positioned as
described above. Be careful not to move your hands
excessively or squeeze the metal contacts too tightly.
