Getting Started: Heart Rate Telemetry Chest Strap  
The Heart Rate Telemetry Chest Strap  
The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the  
skin, transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the chest strap (A) that  
the user wears during the workout. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the  
electrodes are in direct contact with the skin, or a thin layer of wet clothing. The electrodes are two grooved  
surfaces on the underside of the strap, and must remain wet to accurately transmit the electrical impulses of the  
heart back to the receiver. To use, first moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest  
muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing. Electrodes  
must be wet to work properly. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away  
from your chest to expose the electrodes, and moisten. See diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.  
Note: Using the wireless chest strap will provide more accurate heart rate readings than the hand pulse sensors.

Getting Started: Contact Heart Rate  
Contact Heart Rate  
When using Contact Heart Rate make certain to grasp sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart rate seems  
substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors until heart rate disappears. Dry hands  
and grasp sensors again until heart rate seems accurate. If this does not work you may need to slow the machine  
to get an accurate reading. On treadmills we recommend for safety and accurate heart rate readings that the user  
stand on the siderails when attempting to monitor heart rate with contact electrodes.  
Note: The contact heart rate system may be less or more accurate with different individuals.

How to Use the Advanced Workouts Console  
The Advanced Workouts console was designed to make navigation as simple as possible by using special colors  
and keys. The console display was designed to reduce toggling between workout information. The design of  
each button on the Advanced Workouts console was designed to give the user tactile feedback. Each piece of  
workout feedback, including level, time, speed, has its own dedicated window.

Level/Incline Display  
Incline level is only manually adjusted by the user in  
a manual workout. The range of possible incline  
percentages is 0 12% and can be adjusted in 0.5%  
increments. The second difficulty level corresponds  
to a range of actual incline percentages. Difficulty  
levels are only used in random, hill, ez incline, and  
sports training workouts. So when a user selects a  
difficulty level of 10 it corresponds to a range of  
incline percentages between 3%7%. During  
random, hill, ez incline, and sports training the  
difficulty level will be displayed only during workout  
setup and anytime the difficulty level is changed  
during the workout. At all other times during these  
workouts the incline percentage is displayed.  
a. Level Display (Bikes/Cross-  
Trainers) – There are two types  
of levels used on Life Fitness  
bikes and cross-trainers. The first type of level is the  
actual brake resistance level. This type of level is  
only adjustable by the user in a manual workout.  
The range of possible brake resistance levels is  
1-20. The second type of level is difficulty level.  
There are 20 difficulty levels. Difficulty level  
corresponds to a range of actual brake resistance  
levels and is only used in random, hill, ez incline,  
and sports training workouts. So when you select  
a difficulty level of 10 it corresponds to a range of  
actual brake resistance levels of 5-14. During  
random, hill, ez incline, and sports training the  
difficulty level will only be displayed during workout  
setup and anytime you choose to change the level  
during the workout. At all other times during a  
workout the actual level will be displayed.  
c. Changing the Level during a Workout –  
To change the level during a workout the  
underscore beneath the top row of workout  
feedback needs to be positioned under level.  
If the underscore is not under level, it can be  
moved using the left/right arrows. To adjust the  
level simply press the up and down keys.  
b.Level / Incline Display (Treadmills) – There are two  
types of levels used on Life Fitness treadmills. The  
first type of level is an incline level or percentage.

“Contact Heart Rate” for recommendations on  
improving the contact heart rate reading.  
During a heart rate workout the workout profile  
acts like a graph of the user’s target heart rate  
percent. Each of the 9 rows of the profile will  
represent the user’s actual heart rate as a  
percentage of their heart rate max. Therefore by  
the end of the workout, the user will be able to  
visually see their target heart rate ranges  
throughout the workout.

based on a Life Fitness proprietary calorie equation. This  
formula may not match other manufacturer’s machines

Note that the percent in the table represents the  
user’s actual heart rate as a percent of their heart rate  
max. The heart rate max is 220-user’s age. For  
example: A 40 year old’s heart rate max would be  
220-40 = 180. During their workout at the first interval  
their actual heart was 100. Therefore 100/180 = .56 or

Workout Overviews  
The Advanced Workouts console has ten specially designed pre-programmed workouts that have been  
developed by Life Fitness. Each workout has a different goal. Read the workout descriptions carefully so  
that you can develop a workout routine that focuses on reaching your specific goals.  
The workout descriptions on the following pages all have headers labeled Beginner-Just Starting, Experienced-Fit,  
and Advanced – Athlete. Beginner workouts are workouts designed for users just starting to workout or just starting  
a workout routine. Beginner workouts have limited gradual intensity adjustments. Experienced workouts are  
designed for users seeking a more challenging workout. These users should have a stronger fitness base.  
Advanced workouts are designed for athletes training for cardiovascular endurance and special events.  
Different workouts have different setup steps. This section provides details on the steps themselves.  
The main screen of the console is known as the “Select Workout” screen which looks like the following:

Heart Rate Hill Workout (Experienced – Fit)  
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout  
Access: This workout can be started by using the  
navigation keys to scroll to the Heart Rate Hill workout profile  
and pressing Enter.  
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to  
adequately operate. This program only uses resistance or incline  
adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. Heart Rate Hill  
has a series of three hills and three valleys where the duration of  
the hills and valleys is determined by the user’s heart rate.  
HEART RATE HILL WORKOUT  
After the warm-up, the intensity of the workout increases until  
the user reaches 70% of their max heart rate, which is the first  
hill. Once the user reaches 70% of their max heart rate, the  
program will hold the intensity level for 1 minute. When the hill  
is completed, the program reduces the intensity and target heart  
rate goal to 65% of their max heart rate to simulate a valley or  
recovery period. Once the user’s heart rate drops to 65% of  
their max heart rate, the program will keep them at 65% for  
1 minute.

continued from previous page  
Next the program will increase intensity until the user reaches 75% of their maximum heart  
rate, this is the second hill followed by a valley with the target heart rate of 65%. Finally the third hill  
increases intensity until the user reaches 80% of their max heart rate, 80% is then held for 1 minute  
followed by the final 65% valley. At the end of the duration of hills and valleys, the workout enters a cool  
down phase. Note that if the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the message center  
displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed (for treadmills) or resistance (for bikes and cross trainers),  
depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart  
rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.  
Goal: The design intent of the Heart Rate Hill workout was to develop a program that adapts to the  
user’s fitness level. As a user becomes more fit, they encounter additional hills and valleys in the same  
workout duration. This is because the heart rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.

This sequence continues for all three hills and valleys. At the end of the duration of hills and valleys, the  
workout enters a cool down phase. Note that if the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five  
minutes, the message center displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed (for treadmills) or  
resistance (for bikes and cross trainers), depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase.  
The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.  
Goal: The design intent of the Heart Rate Interval workout was to develop a program that adapts to the  
user’s fitness level and is more challenging than the Heart Rate Hill workout. As a user becomes more  
fit, they encounter additional hills and valleys in the same workout duration. This is because their heart  
rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.

Note that the percent in the table represents the user’s actual heart rate as a percent of their heart rate max. The heart rate max is 220-user’s age.  
For example: A 40 year old’s heart rate max would be 220-40 = 180. During their workout at the first interval their actual heart was 100.  
Therefore 100/180 = .56 or 56% and the profile would display the user at row 4 for the first interval of the workout.

How to Use Race Mode  
Overview  
Race mode can be activated during a workout by pressing the Race Mode key on the console. This function can  
only be used during a manual, random, hill, ez incline, or sports training workout. Race mode is a function that  
allows the user to race against a simulated speed that is determined when Race Mode is turned on. The user is  
represented by a filled in arrow above the workout profile and the pacer will be symbolized by the outline of the  
arrow. During race mode, the workout profile column will blink to indicate where the user is at in the profile.  
Beginning a Race  
Press the Race Mode Key during a manual, random, hill, ez incline, or sports training workout to turn Race  
Mode on. At this point the Race Mode symbol will illuminate. A prompt will appear in the message display  
to enter a desired speed. Speed can be changed using the up/down arrows. The speed entered will be the  
pacer’s speed during the race. Once a race speed is entered, the pacer and the user arrows will begin at the  
first column and race across the workout profile. The pacer is symbolized by an outline of an arrow and the  
user is symbolized by the filled in arrow. The pacer’s movement across the profile is determined by the set  
race speed and the time remaining in the workout. Therefore if the workout time is adjusted during the race,  
the pacer’s settings are reconfigured and the race will start again from the first column.

Troubleshooting the Heart Rate Telemetry Chest Strap  
Heart Rate is Erratic or Absent Entirely  
• Repeat the electrode moistening procedure on the chest strap. See Page 6, titled Heart Rate  
Telemetry for details. The electrodes must remain wet to pick up and transmit accurate heart rate readings.  
• Make sure the electrodes are flat against the skin.  
• Wash the belt transmitter regularly with mild soap and water.  
• Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within three feet (91 centimeters) of the heart rate receiver.  
• The chest strap is battery-operated and will stop functioning when the battery runs out. Contact Customer  
Support Services for instructions on how to have the chest strap replaced.  
Heart Rate Reading is Erratic or Extremely High  
If the chest strap is worn near sources of electromagnetic signals, these signals may be strong enough to  
elevate heart rate readings. Possible sources include:  
Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines and motor driven  
exercise equipment.  
• Another heart rate transmitter within three feet, or one meter, may also cause abnormal heart rate readings.

and off in the Settings Menu.  
5. My console will not light up.  
A. Make sure the unit is plugged in or if you have a R3 or C3 then you need to pedal first before the console  
lights up. If the console will still not turn on make sure all the connections in the back of the console are  
plugged in correctly according to the assembly instructions. If this still does not work contact Customer Service.  
6. The heart rate reading seems erratic.  
A. Remove hands from from heart rate sensors and wait until heart rate icon and heart rate number  
disappears. This allows the heart rate system to reset. Grasp hand sensors firmly and keep hands still.  
The contact heart rate system may be less or more accurate with different individuals.
