two electrode areas on the inner side. Using a
saline 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
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.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
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 at the left). If heart
rate readings do not appear until you begin perspir-
ing, re-wet the electrode areas.

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.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.

power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The
elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCI-
equipped outlets.
Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip-
tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically
calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two
dashes (– –) will appear in the main display of the
console, and the ramp will move to the highest
position and then return to the lowest position.
The calibration process will last for one to two
minutes.

Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. (The main display will
show both the time remaining in the program and
the time remaining in the current segment of the
program.) One resistance setting and one pace
setting are programmed for each segment. (The
same resistance setting and/or pace setting may
be programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.)
The program will continue in this way until the
main display shows that no time remains in the
program.

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).
Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 14.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
Heart rate program 1 will keep your heart rate
between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate;
heart rate program 2 will keep your heart rate
between 55% and 85%; heart rate program 3 will
keep your heart rate between 60% and 85%; heart
rate program 4 will keep your heart rate between 50%
and 85%.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 14.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Begin pedaling to activate the console.

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
the words “HEARTRATE 1,” “HEARTRATE 2,”
“HEARTRATE 3,” or “HEARTRATE 4” appear in
the main display.
Three seconds after a program is selected, the
name of the selected program and the total pro-
gram time will scroll across the main display.
The current age setting will then begin to flash in
the main display.
During heart rate pro-
grams, the matrix will
show a graphic that
represents your heart
rate. Each time a
heartbeat is detect-
ed, an additional
peak will appear.

When no indicator is flashing, your heart rate is
near the current target heart rate. Important:
The target heart rates are intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual heart rate
may be slower than the current target heart
rate. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
The program will continue in this way until the
main display shows that no time remains in the
program.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-
minute segments. (The main display will show
both the time remaining in the program and the
time remaining in the current segment of the pro-
gram.) One resistance setting is programmed for
each segment. (The same resistance setting may
be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.)
Note: If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the program will end. Heart
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and
then restarted.
Monitor your progress with the main display.

At the end of each segment, a series of tones will
sound. The resistance of the pedals will then
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis-
tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the
resistance by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next seg-
ment.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the elliptical
exerciser regularly. Replace any worn parts immedi-
ately.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Stand in front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the han-
dlebars firmly, and place one foot against the ramp in
the location shown below. Pull the handlebars until
the elliptical exerciser can be moved on the front
wheels, and carefully move the elliptical exerciser to
the desired location. Then, place one foot against the
ramp, and lower the elliptical exerciser. Due to the
size and weight of the elliptical exerciser, use
extreme caution while moving and lowering it.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
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 in your training zone as you exercise.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensors are intended
only as exercise aids in determining heart
rate trends in general.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise 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 as you exercise.
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
burning, 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
program, 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
on the bottom line 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 lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
