Turn on the power
Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged
in (see page 9). To turn on the power, press the
START/PAUSE button or begin exercising. The
console will sound a tone and various displays
and indicators will light. Note: If you have moved
the pedals, the power will already be on.
Select the manual mode
Each time the power is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected
and the MANUAL CON-
TROL indicator will light.
If a personal trainer pro-
gram or the iFIT.com mode has been selected,
press the PROGRAM SELECT button repeatedly
to select the manual mode. Note: When you
press the PROGRAM SELECT button, the
incline will automatically change to the lowest
position.
Begin exercising and adjust the incline and
the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer
As you exercise, adjust the incline and resistance
as desired by pressing the RAMP and RESIS-
TANCE buttons. The incline setting will be shown
in the left display. The resistance setting will be
shown in the right display. Note: After the buttons
are pressed, it may take a few seconds for the
selected setting to be reached.
Follow your progress with the displays
When the manual mode is selected, the LED
matrix will display a quarter-mile track. As you
exercise, the indicators around the track will light
in sequence until you have completed one lap.
The LED matrix will then darken and a new lap
will begin.
The left display will show the elapsed time, the
distance that the pedals have moved, the incline
level, and the number of laps you have completed.
The right display will show your current speed,
the approximate number of calories you have
burned, and the resistance level. The right display
will also show your heart rate when the pulse sen-
sor is used (see step 5).
Note: The console can display speed and distance
in either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of
measurement is selected, press the RAMP
+
button and the
RESISTANCE
+
button
simultane-
ously for a few
seconds. The LED
matrix will show a
letter E for English
miles or a letter M
for metric kilome-
ters. Press the
RESISTANCE
+
button to change the unit of
measurement if desired. When the desired unit of
measurement is selected, press the right side of
the START/PAUSE button.
Measure your heart rate if desired
Important: If
there are thin
sheets of plastic
on the metal con-
tacts on the pulse
sensor, peel off
the plastic before
using 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 touching the
lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When
your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator
below the right display will light, one or two dash-
es (– –) 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. The
right display will show your heart rate for up to 15
seconds; the display will then show your current
speed, calories burned, your heart rate, and the
resistance level, in seven-second intervals. Note:
Your heart rate will be shown only when the
pulse sensor is used.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-
sole will automatically switch into a “sleep”
mode. Important: Unplug the power cord after
each use.
