GETTING STARTED
2.1 THE HEART RATE TELEMETRY CHEST STRAP
The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin,
transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the chest strap (A) that the user wears
during the workout. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact
with bare skin. However it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing. The electrodes are two grooved surfaces
on the underside of the strap, and must remain wet to accurately transmit the electrical impulses of the heart back to the
receiver. To use, first moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The
strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing. Electrodes must be wet to work properly. If
it becomes necessary to re-moisten, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from your chest to expose the electrodes,
and moisten. See diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.
Note: Using the wireless heart rate telemetry chest strap will provide more accurate heart rate readings than the hand
pulse sensors.
Note: To ensure the highest performance, use the wireless chest strap that was provided with the product.

2.2 CONTACT HEART RATE
When using Contact Heart Rate make certain to grasp sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart rate seems substan-
tially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors until heart rate disappears. Dry hands and grasp sensors
again until heart rate seems accurate. If this does not work you may need to slow the machine to get an accurate read-
ing. We recommend, for safety and accurate heart rate readings, that the user stand on the side rails when attempting to
monitor heart rate with contact electrodes.
Note: The contact heart rate system may be less or more accurate with different individuals.

2.3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING
Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a
workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the LIFE FITNESS Heart Rate Zone Training® approach
to exercise.
Zone Training identifies an exerciser’s ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness.
The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal heart
rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine’s “Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription”,
8th Edition, 2009. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.
HR MAX = 206.9 - (0.67 *age)
The LIFE FITNESS products feature these exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart
Rate Zone Training+ exercise:
• FAT BURN • CARDIO • HEART RATE HILL • HEART RATE INTERVAL • EXTREME HEART RATE
Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.
The HeartSync workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the contact heart
rate sensors, to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically
adjusts the incline or level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

HOW TO USE THE TRACK CONSOLE
The Track Console was designed to make navigation as simple as possible by using special colors and keys. The console
display was designed to reduce toggling between workout information. The design of each button on the console was
designed to give the user tactile feedback. Each piece of workout feedback, including level, time and speed, has its own
dedicated window.
4.1 USB INDICATOR
The USB icon on the left side of the message center is displayed whenever a USB drive is plugged
the LFconnect Website.
4.2 MESSAGE CENTER
The message center provides instructional information to the user from the moment
the first key is pressed. The message center will coach the user through setting up
a workout, including selecting a workout and entering time, level, and other workout
specific information. Also during the workout if certain workout feedback like pace
and METS are turned on in the Settings Menu, the message center will periodically
show that information.
4.3 iPOD INDICATOR
The iPod icon on the right side of the message center is displayed when a compatible iPod is docked.
4.4 HEART RATE DISPLAY
The heart rate display calculates the user’s actual heart rate in contractions or beats per minute
during a workout. The user must be holding on to the contact heart rate electrodes or wearing a heart
rate telemetry chest strap for the heart rate display to function. See Section 2.1, The Heart Rate
Telemetry Chest Strap. Life Fitness recommends wearing the chest strap for the most accurate heart
rate reading. If you are experiencing problems with your heart rate reading please read Section 2.2,
Contact Heart Rate for recommendations on improving the contact heart rate reading.
4.5 TARGET HEART RATE DISPLAY
Target heart rate is a percentage of a user’s maximum heart rate. The goal is to target a range that
enables one’s heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. The console calculates
target heart rate by taking the maximum heart rate and multiplying it by an intensity level.
Maximum heart rate = 206.9 - (.67 x user’s age). Target heart rate is shown continuously during a HeartSync workout.
The target heart rate can be changed at any point during the workout.
Example: User’s Age is 45.
206.9 - (.67 x 45) = 176.75.
177 is the Maximum Heart Rate for a 45 year old.
177 x 65% = 115. 115 is the optimal target heart rate for weight loss and fat burning.

4.6 WORKOUT PROFILE DISPLAY
The workout profile graphically displays the intensity of a workout with columns of various
heights. During the workout the current intensity level the user is in is signified by an arrow
located above the appropriate column. During a heart rate workout the workout profile acts like
a graph of the user’s heart rate. Each of the nine rows of the profile will represent the user’s actual heart rate as a per-
centage of their heart rate max. Therefore by the end of the workout, the user will be able to visually see their heart rate
ranges throughout the workout.

70 - 79%
80 - 89%
90 - 99%
100%
Note: The percent in the table represents the user’s actual heart rate as a percent of their heart rate max. The heart rate
max is 206.9 - (.67 x user’s age). For example: A 40 year old’s heart rate max would be 206.9 - (.67 x 40) = 180. During
their workout at the first interval their actual heart was 100. Therefore 100/180 = .56 or 56% and the profile would display
the user at row four for the first interval of the workout.
4.7 WORKOUT PROFILE INDICATOR ARROW
The arrow located above the columns in the workout profile displays the position the user is at
in the workout. The position is represented by the time entered during workout setup divided
by the number of columns (24). For example during a 24-minute workout the arrow would
move from column to column every minute.
4.8 DISTANCE DISPLAY
Distance is shown in miles. The distance formula tries to replicate miles as if the exercise was
being conducted outdoors. The distance formula will not always be consistent with other LIFE FIT-
NESS products or other manufacturer’s products. Distance can be converted to kilometers in the
Settings Menu. See Section 5.6, How to Use the Settings Menu.
4.9 CALORIE DISPLAY
A calorie is a unit used to measure energy. It represents the amount of energy obtained from
food. One calorie is approximately enough energy to increase the temperature of 1 gram of
water by 1 degree Celsius. The console calculates an average caloric burn based on a LIFE
FITNESS proprietary calorie equation. This formula may not match other manufacturer’s
machines or other LIFE FITNESS machines.

4.10 LEVEL / INCLINE DISPLAY
a. Level / Incline Display – There are two types of levels used on LIFE FITNESS treadmills. The
first type of level is an incline level or percentage. Incline level is only manually adjusted by the user
in a MANUAL workout. The range of possible incline percentages is 0.8 - 15% and can be manually
adjusted in 0.5% increments. The second difficulty level corresponds to a range of actual incline
percentages. Difficulty levels are only used in RANDOM, HILL, EZ INCLINE, and SPORTS TRAINING workouts. So
when a user selects a difficulty level of 10 it corresponds to a range of incline percentages between 3.8% - 7.5%. During
RANDOM, HILL, EZ INCLINE, and SPORTS TRAINING the difficulty level will be displayed only during workout setup and
anytime the difficulty level is changed during the workout. At all other times during these workouts the incline percentage
is displayed.
b. Changing the Level during a Workout – Use the Left / Right arrows to increase or decrease your level during a
workout.

a range from 1-99 minutes depending on the program. During a workout the time display will
show time remaining and count down. Time can be changed to count up in the Settings Menu
and the time display will show time elapsed. See Section 5.6, How to Use the Settings Menu.
The time set can be changed at any time during the workout by using the Up / Down arrows.
4.12 SPEED DISPLAY
Speed is displayed in miles per hour (MPH). The formula tries to replicate miles per hour as if the
exercise was being conducted outdoors. The speed range is 0.5 mph to 12.0 mph and is adjustable
in increments of 0.1 mph. Speed can be converted to kilometers per hour in the Settings Menu. See
Section 5.6, How to Use the Settings Menu.
4.13 SETTINGS BUTTON

Beginner – Just Starting
Experienced – Fit
Advanced – Athlete
Beginner workouts are workouts designed for users just starting to workout or just starting a workout routine. Beginner
workouts have limited gradual intensity adjustments. Experienced workouts are designed for users seeking a more chal-
lenging workout. These users should have a stronger fitness base. Advanced workouts are designed for athletes training
for cardiovascular endurance and special events.
Different workouts have different setup steps. This section provides details on the steps themselves. The main screen of
the console is known as the “Select Workout” screen which looks like the following:
When this screen appears on the console, use the WORKOUT SELECTION buttons to scroll through all the workout
choices and select a workout by pressing ENTER. To begin a QUICK START workout, press ENTER when the above
“Select Workout” screen appears.
Throughout the workout setup process, the Up / Down arrows can be used to adjust the value that is selected and the
Left / Right arrows can be used to scroll back and forth between different steps. In order to advance to the next step,
either press the Right arrow or ENTER key. After entering the last step, press ENTER to begin the workout.
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a specific workout
program. Begin a QUICK START workout by pressing the ENTER key at the SELECT WORKOUT screen. After ENTER is
pressed, a constant-level workout begins. The intensity level does not change automatically. You must change it using the

maximizing the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body’s fat stores for energy.
5. Cardio Workout (Experienced – Fit)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout
Access: This workout can be started by using the HEARTSYNC WORK-
OUTS button to scroll to the CARDIO workout profile and pressing
ENTER.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to ade-
quately operate. This program only uses incline adjustments to increase
and decrease heart rate. Cardio maintains the user at 80% of the user’s
theoretical maximum heart rate. The console continuously monitors and
displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the product to
reach and maintain the target heart rate range. The intensity will not change as long as the user is between 72%-85% of
their target heart rate.
Goal: The goal of the CARDIO workout is to place a heavier workload on the heart muscle to emphasize cardiovascular
endurance.
6. Heart Rate Hill Workout (Experienced – Fit)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the HEARTSYNC
WORKOUTS button to scroll to the HEART RATE HILL workout profile
and pressing ENTER.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to
adequately operate. This program only uses incline adjustments to
increase and decrease heart rate. HEART RATE HILL has a series of
three hills and three valleys where the duration of the hills and valleys
is determined by the user’s heart rate. After the warm-up, the intensity
of the workout increases until the user reaches 70% of their max heart
rate, which is the first hill. Once the user reaches 70% of their max heart rate, the program will hold the intensity level
for one minute. When the hill is completed, the program reduces the intensity and target heart rate goal to 65% of their
max heart rate to simulate a valley or recovery period. Once the user’s heart rate drops to 65% of their max heart rate,
the program will keep them at 65% for one minute. Next the program will increase intensity until the user reaches 75%
of their maximum heart rate, this is the second hill followed by a valley with the target heart rate of 65%. Finally the third
hill increases intensity until the user reaches 80% of their max heart rate, 80% is then held for one minute followed by the
final 65% valley. At the end of the duration of hills and valleys, the workout enters a cool down phase. Note that if the user
does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the message center displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed
depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until
the user reaches the current goal.
Goal: The design intent of the HEART RATE HILL workout was to develop a program that adapts to the user’s fitness
level. As a user becomes more fit, they encounter additional hills and valleys in the same workout duration. This is be-
cause the heart rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.

7. Heart Rate Interval Workout (Experienced – Fit)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the HEARTSYNC WORK-
OUTS button to scroll to the HEART RATE INTERVAL workout profile
and pressing ENTER.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to
adequately operate. This program only uses incline adjustments to
increase and decrease heart rate. This program alternates between a hill
that brings the target heart rate up to 80% of the user’s heart rate max
and a valley that brings the target heart rate down to 65% of the
user’s heart rate max. After the warm-up, the intensity of the workout increases until the user reaches 80% of their heart
rate max, which is the first hill. Once the user reaches a target heart rate of 80%, the program will hold the intensity level
for three minutes. When the hill is completed the program creates a valley, reducing the intensity until a target heart rate of
65% is reached. This sequence continues for all three hills and valleys. At the end of the duration of hills and valleys, the
workout enters a cool down phase. Note that if the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the message
center displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase.
The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.
Goal: The design intent of the HEART RATE INTERVAL workout was to develop a program that adapts to the user’s
fitness level and is more challenging than the HEART RATE HILL workout. As a user becomes more fit, they encounter
additional hills and valleys in the same workout duration. This is because their heart rate is recovering more quickly during
valleys.
8. Extreme Heart Rate Workout (Advanced – Athlete)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the HEARTSYNC WORK-
OUTS button to scroll to the EXTREME HEART RATE workout profile
and pressing ENTER.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to
adequately operate. This program only uses incline adjustments to
increase and decrease heart rate. This program alternates between two
target heart rates of 85% and 65% of the user’s max heart rate alter-
nating as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of performing
sprints. During the workout once either of the two target heart rates is reached, it is held for 20 seconds and then the
intensity changes to meet the other target heart rate.
Goal: The design of this workout is sports specific, challenging users with short bursts of resistance. The goal of this
workout is to help the advanced users break through fitness improvement plateaus.
9. Heart Rate Marathon (Advanced – Athlete)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the HEARTSYNC WORKOUTS button to scroll to the HEART RATE
MARATHON workout profile and pressing ENTER.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate. This program only uses incline
adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. In HEART RATE MARATHON, the user defines the heart rate they wish
to maintain. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the product to
reach and maintain a target heart rate range. There is no time limit on this workout.
Goal: The goal of the HEART RATE MARATHON workout is to maintain a target heart rate for an extended workout.

10. Fit Test Workout (Advanced – Athlete)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the ADVANCED WORKOUTS button to scroll to the FIT TEST workout
profile and pressing ENTER.
Description: The FIT TEST workout estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endur-
ance every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the hand sensors when prompted, or wear a Polar telemetry heart rate
chest strap as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The FIT TEST is considered to be a submax
VO (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles and how
2
efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians and exercise physiologists generally regard this test
as a good measure of aerobic capacity.
Goal: The goal of the FIT TEST workout is to elevate the user’s hear rate to a level that is between 60% - 85% of their
theoretical maximum heart rate.
The user must grasp the hand sensors when prompted, or wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as the test score
calculation is based on a heart rate reading. Your heart rate is dependent on many factors, including:
.
.
.
.
amount of sleep the previous night (at least 7 hours is recommended)
time of day
time you last ate (2 - 4 hours after the last meal is recommended)
time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least 4 hours is recom-
mended)
.
time since you last exercised (at least 6 hours is recommended)
Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the FIT TEST program. The goal is to elevate the
user’s heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate.

Treadmill
2 - 3 mph (3.2 - 4.8 kph) 3 - 4 mph (4.8 - 6.4 kph) 3.5 - 4.5 mph (5.6 - 7.2 kph)
The workout duration will be five minutes total with a one minute warm-up at 0% incline followed by four additional min-
utes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the console will take the user’s heart rate reading, calculate a fitness score
and display the score in the message center.
After the FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score and rating will be displayed. Within each suggested range, use these
additional guidelines:

the custom workouts can be accessed by scrolling with the CUSTOM WORKOUTS button on the console.
To create a custom workout, first press the USER PROFILES button and select one of the four profiles. Once a profile is
selected, press and hold the USER PROFILES button to enter Editing Mode.
Scroll to the option “Custom Workout” and then press ENTER to create the workout. Upon pressing ENTER, the message
center will display “Workout = Manual” (use the Up / Down arrows to scroll between MANUAL and HEART RATE work-
out – press ENTER to select). The user will next be asked to “Select Workout Time”. The workout is constructed into 24
intervals each lasting the duration of 1/24th of the workout time entered. For example if you set a workout for 24 minutes,
each of the 24 intervals will be one minute.
EDITING A MANUAL CUSTOM WORKOUT
After setting a workout time, the following will occur if a MANUAL workout is selected. The message center will display
“Set Speed + Incl” for approximately three seconds. Next the message center will display “Interval 1”. The user will select
the incline and press ENTER to move to “Interval 2”. This process will continue for all 24 intervals, and repeat for setting
up the speed for each interval. Use the Left / Right arrows to move back and forth between intervals.
Note: When each interval is set and saved, its corresponding visual representation of incline is depicted in the workout
profile. Therefore, by the end of setup, you will see your custom workout profile.
EDITING A HEART RATE CUSTOM WORKOUT
After setting a workout time, the following will occur if a heart rate workout is selected. The message center will display
“Set Target HR” for approximately three seconds. Next the message center will display “Interval 1”. The user will enter
their desired target heart rate in the appropriate window and then press Enter to move to “Interval 2”. This sequence will
continue until all 24 intervals are set. Use the Left / Right arrows to move back and forth between intervals. The mes-
sage center will then display “Workout Saved”. Also note, when each interval is set and saved, its corresponding visual
representation of target heart rate is depicted in the workout profile.

SERVICE AND PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
LIFE FITNESS products are backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of LIFE FITNESS and are one of the
most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the market today.
Note: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep
the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced.
7.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS
The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the LIFE FITNESS product operating at peak performance:
.
.
.
Locate the product in a cool, dry place.
Keep the console free of fingerprints and salt build-up caused by sweat.
Use a 100% cotton cloth, lightly moisten with water and a mild liquid cleaning product, to clean the exercise
equipment. Other fabrics, including paper towels, may scratch the surface. Do not use ammonia or acid-based
cleaners.
.
.
.
Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or compatible cleaner (see LIFE FITNESS
Approved Cleaners) and a microfiber cloth.
Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the selec-
tion buttons on the console.
Clean the housing thoroughly on a regular basis.
LIFE FITNESS Approved Cleaners (United States Availability Only)
Two preferred cleaners have been approved by LIFE FITNESS reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both
cleaners will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial
Force formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1. PureGreen 24 is available
in a spray. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at
least two minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control. Gym Wipes are
large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equip-
ment for at least two minutes for general disinfection purposes.
Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or Email: customersupport@lifefitness.
com).
LIFE FITNESS Compatible Cleaners
Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior sur-
faces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or
acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the
equipment surfaces.
