HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER

Plug one end of the included power adapter into the jack on the console. Plug the other end of the power adapter into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordi- nances.

Note: The console can also be operated with four 1.5V D batteries (not included); alkaline batteries are rec- ommended. Locate the battery cover on the back of the console. Remove the battery cover, insert the bat- teries into the battery compartment, and then reattach the battery cover. Make sure to orient the batteries as shown by the diagrams inside the battery com- partment.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

Due to the size and weight of the elliptical

exerciser, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person lift the handle on the ramp until the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired location, and then lower it to the floor.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLiPTiCAL

EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars and step onto the pedal that is in the lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until

they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The crank arms can turn in either direction. It is

recommended that you turn the crank arms in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for variety,

you can turn the crank arms in the opposite direc- tion.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The revolutionary console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. While you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can also measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.

In addition, the console offers twelve trainer workouts and four weight loss workouts. Each workout automat- ically changes the resistance of the pedals as it guides you through an effective workout.

The console features the iFit Interactive Workout System, which enables the console to accept iFit cards containing workouts designed to help you achieve specific fitness goals. For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss work-

out. iFit workouts control the resistance of the pedals while the voice of a personal trainer coaches you through your workouts, iFit cards are available sepa-

rately. To purchase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com

or see the front cover of this manual, iFit cards are also available at select stores.

You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player to the console's sound system and listen to your favorite music or audio books while you exercise.

To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use a trainer workout, see page 17. To use a weight loss workout, see page 18. To use an iFit workout, see page 19. To use the sound system, see page 19. To change console settings, see page 20.

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic.

If the display does not show your heart rate, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi- cals to clean the contacts.

Each workout is divided into 20, 30 or 45 one- minute segments. One resistance level is programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level may be programmed for consecu- tive segments.

The resistance level for the first segment will appear in the display for a few seconds. During the workout, the workout profile will show your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing segment of the profile represents the current seg-

ment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the cur- rent segment. At the end of each segment of the workout, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ- ent resistance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis- tance of the pedals will then change.

If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Silent Magnetic Resistance buttons. IMPORTANT: When the current seg- ment of the workout ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level programmed for the next segment.

The workout will continue in this way until the last segment ends. To stop the workout at any time, stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will stop counting. To restart the workout, simply resume pedaling.

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 damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console does not display your heart rate when you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, or if the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step 5onpage16.

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, first use a flat screwdriver to pry the left disc carefully away from the left disc mount. Then, remove the left disc.

Locate the Reed Switch (38). Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm Reed Switch Screw (69). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from a Magnet (43) on the Pulley (19). Then, retighten the M4 x 16mm Screw. Turn the Pulley for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback.

EXERCISE GUiDELiNES

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Burning Fat--To burn fat effectively, you must exer- cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time, During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses 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, For maximum fat burning, exercise with your heart rate near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise--If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time, For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten- sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

165 155 145 140 i30 125 115 _

145 138 I30 125 118 110 103 CW_)

125 120 115 I10 105 95 90

20 30 40 50 60 70 80

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near- est ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your "training zone." The lowest number is the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the

heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Warming Up--Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise, A warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise--Exercise for 20 to 30 min- utes 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.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise-never hold your breath.

Cooling Down--Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps 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. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
