FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
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 sensor.
The console also offers two pulse control programs and four resistance & rpm programs. During your workout, each pulse control program automatically controls the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate setting. 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.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the steps beginning on page 10. To use a pulse control
program, see page 12. To use a resistance & rpm
program, see page 14.
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected automatically. If you have previously selected a program, return to the manual mode by pressing the Programs button repeatedly until the display appears as shown below.
3
Begin pedaling and change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals by pressing the Resistance increase and decrease buttons repeatedly. There are ten resistance levels. Note: After you press the buttons, it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
During your workout, the Pace Coach will prompt you to maintain a target pace of 50 revolutions per minute (rpm). If you choose, increase your pace when one of the “Too Slow” arrows lights and decrease your pace when one of the “Too
Fast” arrows lights. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace. Important:
The target pace is intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower or faster than the target pace. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
4
Monitor your progress with the display.
The left side of the
display—The left side of the display will show the elapsed time, the approximate number of grams of carbs you have burned, and the approximate number of calories you have burned. Note: When a preset program is selected (except for pulse control program 2), the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.
The left side of the display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11).
The center of the
display—When the manual mode is selected, the center of the display will show a track that represents
640 revolutions. As you exercise, indicators will appear in succession around the track until the entire track appears.
The track will then disappear and the indicators will again begin to appear in succession.
The center of the display will also show the resistance setting of the pedals for a few seconds each time the resistance setting changes.
The right side of the
display—The right side of the display will show the distance
(total revolutions) you have pedaled and your pedaling pace
(revolutions per minute [rpm]).

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a pulse control program; however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
5
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Pulse control program 1 is divided into 30 oneminute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing
Current Segment
Current Segment column in the center of the display. The target heart rate settings for the next four segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
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 target heart rate settings will move one column to the left.
The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column.
Pulse control program 2 is divided into 40 oneminute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different program before the program ends.
12
During both pulse control programs, the console 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.
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 one of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
Important: The target heart rate settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual heart rate may be slower than the target heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually override the resistance setting for the current segment, 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 automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

3
Begin pedaling to start the program.
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.
The resistance setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current
Current Segment
Segment column in the center of the display. (Note: The pace settings are not shown in the display.) The resistance settings for the next four segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Pace Coach will prompt 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 one of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
Important: The pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the pace settings. 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 resistance set-
tings 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 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 matrix.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoid
damaging the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console displays become dim, the batteries should be replaced; most console problems are the result of low batteries. See assembly step 4 on page
5 for replacement instructions.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
After moving the elliptical exerciser to the location where it will be used, make sure that the ends of both stabilizers are touching the floor. If the elliptical exerciser
Leveling Foot rocks slightly during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet under the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip 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 30 seconds.
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially 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 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 lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended 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 in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near 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 as you 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 preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
