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.
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 pace indicator.
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 the approximate number of fat calo-
ries you have burned. In addition, 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 program instead of the
elapsed time.
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 Fat Cals.
indicator appears in the display. Make sure that
the Scan indicator does not appear.
In addition, the left pace indicator will appear in the
display to show your exercise pace. As you
increase or decrease your pace, additional bars
will appear or disappear on the pace indicator.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 20) and hold the handgrip
pulse sensor at the same time, the console
may not display your heart rate accurately.
If there are thin
sheets of plas-
tic on the metal
contacts on the
handgrip pulse
sensor, peel off
the plastic. To
use the handgrip
pulse sensor,
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 moving your hands. When your pulse is
detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the dis-
play 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.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-
sole will automatically turn off to conserve
the batteries.
