Turn on the console.
Note: The console requires four “D” batteries (not
included). If you have not installed batteries, refer
to step 5 on page 7 and install batteries.
To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button
or begin pedaling. Note: When the console is
turned on, the resistance of the elliptical
crosstrainer will automatically change to level 1, if
it is not already at level 1.
Select the manual mode.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be select-
ed. If a Smart
program, a
Heart Rate pro-
gram, or the iFIT.com mode has been selected,
select the manual mode by pressing the Program
button repeatedly until the upper right corner of
the display is blank.
Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of
the elliptical crosstrainer.
As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the
elliptical crosstrainer as desired by pressing the +
and – buttons. There are ten resistance levels;
level 10 is the most challenging. Note: After the
buttons are pressed, it will take a few seconds for
the selected setting to be reached.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes
and the left bar graph.
When the con-
sole is turned
on, the scan
mode will be
selected. As
you exercise,
the display will
show your cur-
rent speed, the elapsed time, the distance that
you have pedaled, the current resistance level,
the approximate number of calories you have
burned, and your power output in watts. In addi-
tion, your heart rate will be shown when you use
the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 below)
or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer to page
20). Note: Each time the resistance level
changes, the console will show the resistance
level for six seconds. In addition, when a Smart
program or a Heart Rate program is selected, the
display will show the
time remaining
in the pro-
gram instead of the elapsed time.
In addition, the left bar graph will appear in the dis-
play to show your exercise pace. As you increase
or decrease your pace, additional bars will appear
or disappear on the bar graph.
If desired, you can select a single feedback mode
for continuous display. Press the Display Mode
button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H),
Time, Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Watts
indicator appears in the display. Make sure that
the Scan indicator does not appear.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If there are thin sheets of plastic on the
metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor,
peel off the plastic.
To use the hand-
grip pulse sen-
sor, place your
hands on the
metal contacts.
Your palms must
be on the upper
contacts and
your fingers
must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid mov-
ing your hands. When your pulse is detected, the
heart-shaped indicator in the display will flash
each time your heart beats. After a moment, two
dashes (– –) will appear and then your heart rate
will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note:
When you first hold the handgrips, the display will
show your heart rate continuously for 15 sec-
onds. The display will then show your heart rate
along with the other feedback modes.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off after five minutes.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for five minutes, the con-
sole will automatically turn off to conserve
the batteries.
