FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and effective. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the resistance of the exercise cycle can be changed with a 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 sensor, see page 19.

The console also offers six resistance and pace programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the exercise cycle and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the exercise cycle 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 exercise cycle 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 or videocassettes, call toll-free

1-888-936-4266

With the exercise cycle connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and access programs directly from the internet. Explore

www.iFIT.com for more information.

In addition, the console features two heart rate programs that automatically change the resistance of the exercise cycle and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you exercise.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1

Begin pedaling to activate the console.

The exercise cycle requires no batteries or external power source. Power is supplied by

a generator as you pedal. To activate the console, begin pedaling at a speed of about 3 miles per hour or faster. After a few seconds, the console displays will light. A tone will then sound and the console will be ready for use.

2

Select the manual mode.

When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. If you have selected a program or the iFIT.com mode, select the manual mode by pressing the Program

Select button repeatedly until a track appears in the matrix.

3

Begin pedaling and change the resistance of the exercise cycle as desired.

As you pedal, change the resistance of the exercise cycle by pressing the

Resistance buttons. There are ten resistance levels. Note: After the Resistance buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the exercise cycle to reach the selected resistance level.

4

Monitor your progress with the matrix, the

Training Zone bar, and the two displays.

The matrix—

When the manual mode or the iFIT.com mode is selected, the matrix will show a track representing

1/4 mile (400 m.). As you exercise, the indicators around the track will flash to indicate your position on the track. When you have completed a lap, a new lap will begin.

The Training Zone

bar—The Training

Zone bar will show your pace and the approximate intensity level of your exercise. For example, if three or four indicators in the bar are lit, the bar shows that your pace is ideal for fat burning.

During programs, the Training Zone bar will also prompt you to increase or decrease your pace.

The left display—

The left display will show the elapsed time, your pedaling pace (measured in

minutes per mile), and the distance you have pedaled. The display will change from one number to the next every few seconds, as shown by the indicators around the display. Note:

When a program is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment of the program instead of the elapsed time.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound, the console will pause, and the left display will begin to flash.

The right

display—The right display will show your pedaling speed, the approximate numbers of

fat calories and

calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 21), and the resistance level of the exercise cycle. The display will change from one number to the next every few seconds, as shown by the indicators. The display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: Each time the resistance of the exercise cycle changes, the display will show the resistance level.

10

Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of measurement is selected, you must select the console’s user mode. Hold down the Program Select button for about three seconds. The letter “E” for English miles or the letter “M” for metric kilometers will appear in the left display. To change the unit of measurement, press the + button.

While the user mode is selected, press the Program

Start button. The left display will then show the total number of hours that the exercise cycle has been used. Press the

Program Start button again. The left display will then show the total number of miles pedaled. To exit the user mode, press the Program Select button again.

5

Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the optional chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console may not display your heart rate accurately.

If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the

plastic. To measure your heart rate,

Contacts place your hands on the contacts; your palms must be resting on the contacts closest to you, and your fingers must be touching the other contacts. Avoid moving your hands.

When your pulse is detected, the Heart

Rate indicator above the right display will begin to flash, one or two dashes (– –) will appear in the right display, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds. Note: If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly.

When you hold the pulse sensor, the right display will show your heart rate for about 30 seconds. If you continue to hold the pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate along with the other modes.

6

Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan button. Pivot the fan to the desired angle. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the Fan button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the Fan button a third time.

7

When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off.

If the pedals are not moved for about one minute, the console displays will darken. If the pedals are not moved for about five minutes, the console will turn off and the displays will be reset.

11

HOW TO USE RESISTANCE AND PACE

PROGRAMS

1

Begin pedaling to activate the console.

See step 1 on page 10.

2

Select one of the six resistance and pace programs.

When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a resistance and pace program, press the Program

Select button repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,”

“P 4,” “P 5,” or “P 6” appears in the right display.

When a resistance and pace program is selected, the matrix will show the first seven pace settings for the program. The left display will show how long the program will last.

3

Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. One pace setting and one resistance setting are programmed for each segment. (The same pace setting and/or resistance setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)

The pace setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current

Segment column of the matrix. (The resistance settings

Current Segment are not shown in the matrix.) The pace settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for the current segment. The lit indicators in the bar will show your actual pace. If an indicator to the right of the lit indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase your pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see a b drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flashing, your pace matches the pace setting for the current segment.

Important: The pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the current pace setting.

Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all pace settings

will move one column to the left. The pace setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the exercise cycle will automatically change to the resistance setting for the second segment.

Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the pace settings have moved to the left, the pace settings will move downward

so that only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.

The program will continue until the pace setting for the last segment is shown in the Current

Segment column of the matrix and no time remains in the program.

Note: During the program, you can override the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance may automatically change to the resistance setting for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

12

4

Monitor your progress with the two displays.

See step 4 on page 10.

5

Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 11.

6

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 11.

7

When the program is finished, the console will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 11.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart

rate during your workout. (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.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate program 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between

50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

1

Begin pedaling to activate the console.

See step 1 on page 10.

2

Select one of the heart rate programs.

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 “H 1” or “H 2” appears in the right display.

3

Enter your age.

When a heart rate program is selected, the word “AGE” and the current age setting will flash in the left display. You must enter your age to use a heart rate program. If you have already entered your age, press the

Age Set Enter button and go to step 4. If you have not entered your age, press the + or – button repeatedly to enter your age, and then press the Age Set Enter button.

Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.

13

4

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11) or the optional 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 holding the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display instead of your heart rate.

5

Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.

Each heart rate program consists of 20 oneminute segments. One resistance setting and one heart rate setting are programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting and/or heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)

The resistance setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current

Segment column of the matrix. The resistance settings

Current Segment for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first segment, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all resistance settings will move one

column to the left. The resistance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the second segment.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate setting for the current segment. The lit indicators in the bar will show your actual pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor (or wear the optional chest pulse sensor), the console will periodically compare your heart rate to the heart rate setting for the current segment; if necessary, an indicator in the bar will then flash to prompt you to increase or decrease your a b pace to bring your heart rate closer to the current heart rate setting. If an indicator to the

right of the lit indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase your pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flashing, your heart rate is near the current heart rate setting. Important: The heart rate settings are

intended only to provide motivation. Your actual heart rate may be slower than the current heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The program will continue until the resistance setting for the last segment is shown in the Current

Segment column of the matrix and no time remains in the program.

Note: During the program, you can manually override the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons.

However, when the next segment begins, the exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

6

Monitor your progress with the two displays.

See step 4 on page 10.

7

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 11.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regularly. To clean the exercise cycle, use a soft, damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed switch, the Right Side Shield (27) must be removed.

Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Right Pedal (21) counterclockwise and remove it. Next, remove the M4 x 25mm Screws (65). Turn the Right Crank Arm (23) so that it is pointing toward the front of the exercise cycle and then slide off the Right Side Shield.

Turn the Right Crank Arm (23) for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. When the

Reed Switch (46) is correctly adjusted, reattach the

Right Side Shield (27) and the Right Pedal (21).

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the Drive Belt (47) may need to be adjusted. To adjust the Drive Belt, you must first remove both side shields. Refer to HOW TO ADJUST THE REED

SWITCH at the left and remove the side shields.

Next, locate the Reed Switch (46). Turn the Right

Crank Arm (23) until the Magnet (30) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated Screw (57). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the

Screw.

Next, turn the indicated M8 Nylon Locknut (63) until the Drive Belt (47) is properly tightened. Then, reattach the side shields.

PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

• Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. 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 15 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING:

• Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals 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 determining heart rate trends in general.

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 recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

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.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number or the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, 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.

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 preparation for exercise.

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes 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.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts 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 regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
