is currently shown. Note: When the distance is
shown, the word Miles or the letters Kms will
appear; when your speed is shown, the letters MPH
or Km/H will appear.
Refer to the drawing on page 10. Note: If there is a
thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the con-
sole, remove it.
F. Pace indicators—When the manual mode is select-
ed, only the left pace indicator will appear. This
pace indicator represents your exercise pace. As
you increase or decrease your pace, additional bars
will appear or disappear on the pace indicator. When
a Smart program, a Heart Rate program, or the
iFIT.com mode is selected, both pace indicators will
appear. The left pace indicator represents your
exercise pace, and the right pace indicator repre-
sents a target pace. During the program, the target
pace will periodically change. As the right pace
indicator changes, simply adjust your pace so that
the same number of bars appear on both pace indi-
cators. Important: The target pace is a goal
pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the
target pace, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
A. Program profiles—These profiles show how the
resistance of the exercise cycle and the target pace
will change during Smart programs and Heart Rate
programs. For example, profile number 3 shows
that during Smart program 3, both the resistance
and the pace will gradually increase during the first
half of the program, and then gradually decrease
during the last half.
B. Exercise feedback display—This display features
seven modes that give you instant exercise feed-
back: your current speed, the elapsed time (or the
time remaining in a Smart program or a Heart Rate
program), the distance that you have pedaled, the
resistance level, the approximate number of calo-
ries you have burned, the approximate number of
fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING
on page 21), and your heart rate (when you use the
handgrip pulse sensor). If the scan mode is select-
ed, the display will change from one mode to the
next every six seconds. Or, you can select a single
mode for continuous display.
G. On/Reset button—When the console is off, pressing
this button will turn on the display. When the console
is on, pressing this button will reset the display.
This button is also used to select the unit of mea-
surement for speed and distance (see B at the left).
Note: The console can show speed and distance
in either miles or kilometers. To change the unit
of measurement, hold down the On/Reset button
for six seconds. The mode indicators (see E
below) will show which unit of measurement is
selected. When the batteries are replaced, it may
be necessary to reselect the desired unit of mea-
surement.
H. Display Mode button—This button is used to select
the feedback modes. The modes will be selected in
the following order: scan, speed, time, distance,
resistance level, calories, fat calories, and heart
rate (when the handgrip pulse sensor is used).
I. + and – buttons—These buttons control the resis-
tance of the exercise cycle. There are ten resis-
tance levels; level 10 is the most challenging.
These buttons are also used to enter your age
when a Heart Rate program is selected.
C. Increase and decrease arrows—During Smart pro-
grams, Heart Rate programs, and iFIT.com pro-
grams, these arrows will prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace to match the target pace.
J. Program button—This button is used to select the
manual mode, Smart programs, and Heart Rate
programs.
D. Manual mode/program indicator—When a Smart
program is selected, the upper right corner of the
display will show a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, depend-
ing on which Smart program is selected. When a
Heart Rate program is selected, the upper right cor-
ner of the display will show a 9 or 10. When the
iFIT.com mode is selected, the upper right corner
will show the letters IF. When the manual mode is
selected, the upper right corner will be blank.
K. IFIT.com button—This button is used to select the
iFIT.com mode. The indicator on the button will light
when the iFIT.com mode is selected.
To use the manual mode of the console, refer to
page 12. To use a Smart program, refer to page 13.
To use a Heart Rate program, refer to page 14. To
use iFIT.com CD’s or videos, refer to page 18. To

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
4
5
When using a Heart Rate program, you must use
the handgrip pulse sensor. It is not necessary to
hold the handgrips continuously during the pro-
gram. 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 dis-
play instead of your heart rate.
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 25 years old, your maximum
heart rate is 195.) Heart Rate program 9 is designed
to keep your heart rate between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart rate while you exercise; Heart Rate
program 10 is designed to keep your heart rate
between 65% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.
Start the program.
Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.
To start the program, simply begin exercising.
Each Heart Rate program consists of 20 one-
minute periods. One resistance setting and one

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise
cycle regularly. To clean the exercise cycle, use a
soft, damp cloth. Keep liquids away from the console
and keep the console out of direct sunlight to prevent
damage to the console.
cated M4 x 16mm Screw (63). Slide the Reed Switch
slightly closer to or away from the Magnet. Then,
retighten the Screw. Turn the Right Crank Arm for a
moment. Repeat until the console displays correct
feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly adjust-
ed, reattach the right side shield and the right pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, you must first remove the Right Side Shield
(8). Remove the two M4 x 16mm Screws (63) and the
M4 x 38mm Screw (66) from the Right Side Shield.
Next, remove the Screws (63, 66 [not shown]) from
the Left Side Shield (7). Using an adjustable wrench,
turn the Right Pedal (17) counterclockwise and
remove it. Rotate the Right Crank Arm (23) so that it
is pointing toward the front of the exercise cycle, and
slide off the Right Side Shield.
If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,
even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest
level, the Drive Belt (20) may need to be adjusted. To
adjust the Drive Belt, you must first remove the right
side shield. Refer to HOW TO ADJUST THE REED
SWITCH at the left and remove the right side shield.

PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-
sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart
rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too
tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate read-
ings.
Next, locate the Reed Switch (64). Turn the Right
Crank Arm (23) until the Magnet (46) is aligned with
the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indi-
• 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.

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 prob-
lems.
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.
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.
• 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 deter-
mining heart rate trends in general.
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.
