IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-  
tions before using the elliptical exerciser.  
1. Read all instructions in this manual before  
using the elliptical exerciser.  
11. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercis-  
ing, stop immediately and begin cooling  
down.  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are  
adequately informed of all precautions.  
12. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only  
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate  
trends in general.  
3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for  
in-home use only. Do not use the elliptical  
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-  
tional setting.  
13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals  
to slowly come to a stop. The elliptical exer-  
ciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals  
will continue to move until the flywheel  
stops.  
4. Place the elliptical exerciser on a level sur-  
face, with a mat beneath it to protect the  
floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical exerciser  
indoors, away from moisture and dust.  
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-  
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

solution such as saliva or contact lens solution,  
wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit  
to a position against your chest.  
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:  
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps  
below to put on the chest pulse sensor.  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function proper-  
ly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high  
or low, try the steps below.  
• Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is worn  
exactly as described in step 2 at the left. If the chest  
pulse sensor does not function when positioned as  
described, move it slightly lower or higher on your  
chest.  
Chest Strap  
Tab  
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use  
saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solu-  
tion to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor  
unit (see the drawing in step 3 below). If heart rate  
readings do not appear until you begin perspiring,  
re-wet the electrode areas.

console. For the console to display heart rate  
readings, the user must be within arm’s length of  
the console.

people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate  
reading problems may be caused by medical condi-  
tions such as premature ventricular contractions  
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary.  
The chest pulse sensor should be under your  
clothing, against your skin, and as high under the  
pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.  
Make sure that the logo is facing forward and is  
right-side-up.

Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console.  
While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping  
the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate  
of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate  
reading on the console.  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE  
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each  
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sen-  
sor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when  
it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If  
the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it  
may remain activated longer than necessary, drain-  
ing the battery prematurely.  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly  
after you have followed all of the above instructions,  
the battery should be replaced in the following way:  
Locate the battery  
cover on the back of  
the sensor unit. Insert  
a coin into the slot in  
the cover, turn the  
cover counterclock-  
wise, and remove the  
cover.  
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.  
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag  
or other container that may trap moisture.  
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct  
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose  
the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122°  
Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit  
(-10° Celsius).  
Remove the old bat-  
tery and insert a  
new CR 2032 bat-  
tery. Make sure that  
the battery is  
turned so the writ-  
ing is on top.  
Replace the battery  
cover and turn it  
clockwise to close it.  
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit  
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.  
CR 2032  
Battery  
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never  
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest  
strap may be hand washed and air dried.

designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and  
effective. When the manual mode of the console is  
selected, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and  
the angle of the ramp can be changed with the touch  
of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide  
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure  
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor. Note:  
For information about an optional chest pulse sen-  
sor, see page 21.  
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-  
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-  
sonal trainer in your home. Using the included audio  
cable, you can connect the elliptical exerciser to your  
home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and  
play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com  
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).  
iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control  
the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and prompt  
you to vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches  
you through every step of your workout. High-energy  
music provides added motivation. To purchase  
iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, call toll-free  
1-888-963-4266.  
The console also offers six resistance and pace pro-  
grams. Each program automatically changes the resis-  
tance of the elliptical exerciser and prompts you to  
increase or decrease your pace as it guides you  
through an effective workout.  
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-  
er, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS  
4
If heart rate program 1, 2, or 3 is selected,  
you do not need to enter a target heart rate.  
Go to step 5.  
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart  
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart  
rate during your workout. Note: Your maximum heart  
rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220.  
For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum  
heart rate is 190 (220 – 30 = 190).  
If heart rate pro-  
gram 4 is select-  
ed, the letters  
“PLS” and a target  
Heart rate programs 1 and 3 are designed to keep  
your heart rate between 50% and 85% of your maxi-  
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro-  
gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between  
50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate; heart rate

the target heart rate, if desired.  
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the  
chest pulse sensor.

6
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.  
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the  
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the chest pulse  
sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is  
not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously  
during the program. However, you should hold the  
handgrips frequently for the program to operate  
properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,  
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at  
least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hold-  
ing the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in  
the lower display instead of your heart rate.  
Begin pedaling to activate the console.

See step 1 on page 14.  
Select one of the four heart rate programs.  
2
When the power is  
turned on, the  
manual mode will  
be selected. To  
select a heart rate  
program, press  
the Program  
Select button repeatedly until an “Hr 1,” “Hr 2,”  
“Hr 3,” or “Hr 4” appears in the lower display.  
Press the Program Start button or begin  
pedaling to start the program.  
Heart rate programs 1, 2, and 3 are divided into  
several one-minute segments. One resistance  
setting and one target heart rate are pro-  
grammed for each segment. (The same resis-  
tance setting and/or target heart rate may be pro-  
grammed for consecutive segments.) Heart rate  
program 4 is sixty minutes long (you may  
choose to use only part of the program). The  
same resistance setting and target heart rate are  
programmed for the entire program.  
Enter your age.  
3
After a heart rate  
program is select-  
ed, the word  
“AGE” and the  
current age set-  
ting will flash in  
the lower display.  
If heart rate program 1, 2, or 3 is selected, the  
resistance of the pedals will periodically change  
to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate.  
Note: If the resistance is too high or too low, you  
can adjust the resistance by pressing the  
Resistance buttons. However, when the current  
segment is completed, the resistance may auto-  
matically change. If heart rate program 4 is  
selected, the resistance will not change unless  
the target heart rate is changed. Pressing the +  
and – buttons will change the target heart rate.  
You must enter your age to use a heart rate pro-  
gram. If you have already entered your age,  
press the Enter (Program Start) button and go to  
step 4. If you have not entered your age, press  
the + or – (Resistance) button repeatedly to enter  
your age, and then press the Enter button. Note:  
Once you have entered your age, it will be saved

See step 4 on page 14. Note: During heart rate  
programs, the upper display will show only your  
current pace. If you select a different mode by  
pressing the left Mode button, the matrix will  
show only a graphic that represents your pulse.  
For heart rate programs to function properly, it is  
recommended that you leave the pace mode  
selected so that the two horizontal bars appear in  
the matrix.  
The upper bar in the matrix represents a target  
pace, and the lower bar represents your actual  
pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor  
or wear the chest pulse sensor, the console will  
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate  
for the current segment. If your heart rate is too  
far below or above the target heart rate, the  
upper bar will then change in length to prompt  
you to increase or decrease your pace. When the  
upper bar changes in length, adjust your pace so  
that both bars are the same length. Important:  
The target pace is intended only to provide a  
goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the  
target pace, especially during the first few

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
Fat Burning  
WARNING:  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-  
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-  
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does  
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If  
your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-  
ber or the middle number in your training zone as you  
exercise.  
• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-  
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-  
cially important for individuals over the  
age of 35 or individuals withpre-existing  
health problems.  
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors may affect the accuracy of  
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is  
intended only as an exercise aid in deter-  
mining heart rate trends in general.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for  
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand  
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,  
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart  
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and  
adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-  
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your  
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-  
ration for exercise.  
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-  
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training  
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-  
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training  
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)  
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This  
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will  
help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above  
your age; the three numbers are your “training zone.”  
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for  
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended  
heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-  
outs each week, with at least one day of rest between  
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you  
may complete up to five workouts each week, if  
desired. The key to success is make exercise a regu-  
lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown below. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1. Toe Touch Stretch  
1
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your  
hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down  
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.  
Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.  
2. Hamstring Stretch  
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward  
you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach  
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.  
Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and  
groin.  
2
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch  
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands  
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on  
the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward  
3
the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.  
To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg  
as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.  
4
4. Quadriceps Stretch  
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one  
foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as  
possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.  
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
