IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-  
tions before using the elliptical exerciser.  
1. Read all instructions in this manual before  
using the elliptical exerciser.  
12. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are intended  
only as exercise aids in determining heart  
rate trends in general.  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are  
adequately informed of all precautions.  
3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for  
in-home use only. Do not use the elliptical  
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-  
tional setting.  
13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals  
to slowly come to a complete stop. The ellip-  
tical exerciser does not have a free wheel;  
the pedals will continue to move until the  
flywheel stops.  
4. Place the elliptical exerciser on a level sur-  
face, with a mat beneath it to protect the  
floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical exerciser  
indoors, away from moisture and dust.  
14. Always unplug the power cord immediately  
after use and before cleaning the elliptical  
exerciser.  
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-  
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.  
15. The decal shown below has been placed on  
the elliptical exerciser. If the decal is missing  
or illegible, please call our Customer Service

order a free replacement decal. Apply the  
decal in the location shown.  
6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away  
from the elliptical exerciser at all times.  
7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used  
by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.  
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when  
using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear  
athletic shoes for foot protection.  
9. Always hold the handlebars when mounting,  
dismounting, or using the elliptical exerciser.  
10. Keep your back straight when using the ellip-  
tical exerciser; do not arch your back.

saline solution such as saliva or contact lens  
solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the  
sensor unit to a position against your chest.  
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:  
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps  
below to put on the chest pulse sensor.  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function proper-  
ly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high  
or low, try the steps below.  
• Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is worn  
exactly as described in step 2 at the left. If the chest  
pulse sensor does not function when positioned as  
described, move it slightly lower or higher on your  
chest.  
Chest Strap  
Tab  
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use  
saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solu-  
tion to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor  
unit (see the drawing in step 3 at the left). If heart  
rate readings do not appear until you begin perspir-  
ing, re-wet the electrode areas.

Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console.  
While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping  
the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate  
of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate  
reading on the console.  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE  
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each  
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sen-  
sor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when  
it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If  
the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it  
may remain activated longer than necessary, drain-  
ing the battery prematurely.  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly  
after you have followed all of the above instructions,  
the battery should be replaced in the following way:  
Locate the battery  
cover on the back of  
the sensor unit. Insert  
a coin into the slot in  
the cover, turn the  
cover counterclock-  
wise, and remove the  
cover.  
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.  
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag  
or other container that may trap moisture.  
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct  
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose  
the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122°  
Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit  
(-10° Celsius).  
Remove the old bat-  
tery and insert a  
new CR 2032 bat-  
tery. Make sure that  
the battery is  
turned so the writ-  
ing is on top.  
Replace the battery  
cover and turn it  
clockwise to close it.  
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit  
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD  
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending  
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent  
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.  
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in  
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-  
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-  
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover  
is grounded before using an adapter.

grounding  
provides a  
path of least  
resistance for  
electric  
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This prod-  
uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment-  
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the  
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-  
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all  
local codes and ordinances. This product is for  
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The  
elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCI-  
equipped outlets.  
Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip-  
tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically  
calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two  
dashes (– –) will appear in the main display of the  
console, and the ramp will move to the highest  
position and then return to the lowest position.  
The calibration process will last for one to two  
minutes.

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars  
and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.  
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until  
they begin to move with a continuous motion.  
DANGER:  
Improper connection of  
the equipment-grounding conductor can result  
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check  
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if  
you are in doubt as to whether the product is  
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug  
provided with the product—if it will not fit the  
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual-  
ified electrician.

Each program is divided into several time seg-  
ments of different lengths. (The main display will  
show both the time remaining in the program and  
the time remaining in the current segment of the  
program.) One resistance setting and one pace  
setting are programmed for each segment. (The  
same resistance setting and/or pace setting may  
be programmed for two or more consecutive seg-  
ments.)  
The program will continue in this way until the  
main display shows that no time remains in the  
program.  
Note: During the program, you can override the  
resistance setting for the current segment, if  
desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons.  
However, when the next segment begins, the  
resistance will automatically change if a different  
resistance setting is programmed for the next  
segment. If you stop pedaling for several sec-  
onds, a tone will sound and the program will  
pause. To restart the program, simply resume  
pedaling.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

6
7
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart  
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart  
rate during your workout. Note: 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 (220 – 30 = 190).  
Measure your heart rate if desired.  
See step 5 on page 14.  
Turn on the fan if desired.  
See step 6 on page 14.  
Heart rate program 1 will keep your heart rate  
between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate;  
heart rate program 2 will keep your heart rate  
between 55% and 85%; heart rate program 3 will  
keep your heart rate between 60% and 85%; heart  
rate program 4 will keep your heart rate between 50%  
and 85%.  
When the program is finished, the console  
will automatically turn off.  
See step 7 on page 14.  
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.  
Begin pedaling to activate the console.

See step 1 on page 13.  
Select one of the four 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  
the words “HEARTRATE 1,” “HEARTRATE 2,”  
“HEARTRATE 3,” or “HEARTRATE 4” appear in  
the main display.  
Three seconds after a program is selected, the  
name of the selected program and the total pro-  
gram time will scroll across the main display.  
The current age setting will then begin to flash in  
the main display.  
During heart rate pro-  
grams, the matrix will  
show a graphic that  
represents your heart  
rate. Each time a  
heartbeat is detect-  
ed, an additional  
peak will appear.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help  
you to keep your heart rate near the current tar-  
get heart rate for the program. The lit indicators  
in the bar will show your actual pace. When you

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 hold-  
ing the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in

any lit indicator is  
flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace.  
When no indicator is flashing, your heart rate is  
near the current target heart rate. Important:  
The target heart rates are intended only to  
provide motivation. Your actual heart rate  
may be slower than the current target heart  
rate. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is  
comfortable for you.  
The program will continue in this way until the  
main display shows that no time remains in the  
program.  
Begin pedaling to start the program.  
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-  
minute segments. (The main display will show  
both the time remaining in the program and the  
time remaining in the current segment of the pro-  
gram.) One resistance setting is programmed for  
each segment. (The same resistance setting may  
be programmed for two or more consecutive  
segments.)  
Note: If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a  
tone will sound and the program will end. Heart  
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and  
then restarted.  
Monitor your progress with the main display.  
See step 4 on page 13.

At the end of each segment, a series of tones will  
sound. The resistance of the pedals will then  
change if a different resistance setting is pro-  
grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis-  
tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the  
resistance by pressing the Resistance buttons.  
However, when the next segment begins, the  
resistance will automatically change if a different  
resistance setting is programmed for the next seg-  
ment.  
Turn on the fan if desired.  
See step 6 on page 14.  
When the program is finished, the console  
will automatically turn off.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
WARNING:  
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.  
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.  
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are intended  
only as exercise aids in determining 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. (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.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
on the bottom line 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.  
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.
