FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The console also offers two pulse control programs and
ten resistance & rpm programs. Each pulse control pro-
gram automatically controls the resistance of the ped-
als and prompts you to increase or decrease your ped-
aling pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate setting during your workout. Each resistance &
rpm program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling pace
as it guides you through an effective workout.
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When the manual mode of the console is selected,
you can change the resistance of the pedals with the
touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even
monitor your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sen-
sor.

During both pulse control programs, the con-
sole will regularly compare your heart rate to the
target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too
far below or above the target heart rate setting,
the resistance of the pedals will automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, by pressing the increase and
decrease buttons. However, when the console
compares your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting, the resistance of the pedals may auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
After the first minute of the program, the Pace
Coach will prompt you to maintain a consistent
pedaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow”
arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one
of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain
your current pace.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling.

tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column,
and the resistance of the pedals will change to the
resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If
all of the indicators in the Current Segment column
are lit after the resistance settings have moved to
the left, the resistance settings may move down-
ward so only the highest indicators appear in the

right side of the dis-
play. When a resistance & rpm program is select-
ed, a profile of the resistance settings of the pro-
gram will scroll across the center of the display.
The left side of the display will show how long the
program will last.
The program will continue until the resistance set-
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column and the last segment ends.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, by pressing the increase or decrease but-
ton. However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will change if a different resistance set-
ting is programmed for the next segment.

Each program is divided into several one-minute
segments. One resistance setting and one pace
setting are programmed for each segment. Note:
The same resistance setting and/or pace setting
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling.

shown in the columns to the right.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
As you exercise, the Pace Coach will help you to
keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for
the current segment. When one of the “Too Slow”
arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one
of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain
your current pace.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER on page 10.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 7 on page
7 for replacement instructions.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.
HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF
THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts
can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alco-
hol, abrasives, or chemicals.
If the elliptical exer-
ciser flexes in the
center during use,
turn the base foot
until the flexing is
eliminated.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
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.
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.
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 determin-
ing 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. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
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 lower two numbers are recommended heart rates
for fat burning; the highest number is the recommend-
ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.
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.
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.
