CONSOLE DESCRIPTION
Refer to the drawing on page 10. Note: If there is a
thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the con-
sole, remove it.
A. Exercise feedback display—This display features
seven modes that give you instant exercise feed-
back: your current speed, the elapsed time (or the
time remaining in a Smart program or a Heart Rate
program), the distance that you have pedaled, the
resistance level, the approximate number of calo-
ries you have burned, the approximate number of
fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING
on page 21), and your heart rate (when you use
the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest
pulse sensor). If the scan mode is selected, the
display will change from one mode to the next
every six seconds. Or, you can select a single mode
for continuous display.
Note: The console can show speed and distance
in either miles or kilometers. To change the unit
of measurement, hold down the On/Reset button
for six seconds. The mode indicators (see E.
below) will show which unit of measurement is
selected. When the batteries are replaced, it may
be necessary to reselect the desired unit of
measurement.
B. Increase and decrease arrows—During Smart pro-
grams, Heart Rate programs, and iFIT.com pro-
grams, these arrows will prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace to match the target pace.
C. Manual mode/program indicator—When a Smart
program is selected, the upper right corner of the
display will show a 1, 2, 3, or 4, depending on
which Smart program is selected. When a Heart
Rate program is selected, the upper right corner of
the display will show a 5 or 6. When the iFIT.com
mode is selected, the upper right corner will show
the letters IF. When the manual mode is selected,
the upper right corner will be blank.
D. Program profiles—These profiles show how the
resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer and the tar-
get pace will change during Smart programs and
Heart Rate programs. For example, profile number
3 shows that during Smart program 3, both the
resistance and the pace will gradually increase
during the first half of the program, and then grad-
ually decrease during the last half.
E. Feedback mode indicators—These indicators show
which feedback mode (scan, speed, time, distance,
resistance level, calories, fat calories, or heart rate)
is currently shown. Note: When the distance is
shown, the word Miles or the letters Kms will
appear; when your speed is shown, the letters
MPH or Km/H will appear.
F. Pace indicators—When the manual mode is select-
ed, only the left pace indicator will appear. This
pace indicator represents your exercise pace. As
you increase or decrease your pace, additional bars
will appear or disappear on the pace indicator.
When a Smart program, a Heart Rate program, or
the iFIT.com mode is selected, both pace indica-
tors will appear. The left pace indicator represents
your exercise pace, and the right pace indicator
represents a target pace. During the program, the
target pace will periodically change. As the right
pace indicator changes, simply adjust your pace so
that the same number of bars appear on both pace
indicators. Important: The target pace is a goal
pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the
target pace, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
G. On/Reset button—When the console is off, pressing
this button will turn on the display. When the con-
sole is on, pressing this button will reset the dis-
play. This button is also used to select the unit of
measurement for speed and distance (see A. at the
left).
H. Display Mode button—This button is used to select
the feedback modes. The modes will be selected
in the following order: scan, speed, time, distance,
resistance level, calories, fat calories, and heart
rate (when the handgrip pulse sensor or the
optional chest pulse sensor is used).
I. + and – buttons—These buttons control the resis-
tance of the elliptical crosstrainer. There are ten
resistance levels; level 10 is the most challenging.
These buttons are also used to enter your age
when a Heart Rate program is selected.
J. Program button—This button is used to select the
manual mode, Smart programs, and Heart Rate
programs.
K. IFIT.com button—This button is used to select the
iFIT.com mode. The indicator on the button will
light when the iFIT.com mode is selected.
