HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Locate the power cord on the elliptical crosstrainer.

Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.

Note: When the

power cord is plugged

in, the resistance sys-

tem may automatically

calibrate itself.

Calibration takes less

than one minute.

During calibration, the

letters “CAL” will

appear in the left LED display and the indicators in

the TRAINING ZONE display will light in a rapid

sequence.

After the resistance

system calibrates

itself, the incline sys-

tem may calibrate

itself. During calibra-

tion, two dashes will

appear in the right

LED display and the

indicators in the

TRAINING ZONE display will light in a rapid

sequence.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS

The upper body arms

are designed to add

upper-body exercise to

your workouts. Move

the upper-body arms

forward and back as

you exercise in order to

work your arms, back,

and shoulders.

To exercise only your

lower body, hold the

pulse handlebar as you

exercise.

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the pulse han-

dlebar 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.

Note: The pedal disks can turn in either direction.

It is recommended that you move the pedal disks

in the direction shown by the arrow above; how-

ever, to give variety to your exercise, you may

turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the

pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical

crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-

als will continue to move until the flywheel stops.

When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest

pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a variety of features to

help you get the most from your workouts.

When the manual mode of the console is selected, the

angle of the ramp and the resistance of the pedals can

be changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise,

the program display, the training zone display, and the

two LED displays will provide continuous exercise

feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using

the built-in pulse sensor.

In addition, the console offers five preset workout pro-

grams. Each program automatically changes the ramp

angle and the resistance of the pedals as it guides you

through an effective workout.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive

technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included

audio cable, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer

to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and

play special iFIT.com CD programs (CD’s are available

separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically con-

trol the ramp angle and the resistance of the pedals as

a personal trainer coaches you through every step of

your workout. High-energy music provides added moti-

vation. Each CD features two programs designed by

certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer

to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs

(videocassettes are available separately). Video pro-

grams offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD pro-

grams, but add the excitement of working out with a

class and an instructor—the hottest new trend at

health clubs.

With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-

puter, you can also go to our new internet site at

www.iFIT.com and access audio program and video

programs directly from the internet. And by adding an

optional upgrade module to the elliptical crosstrainer,

you can use virtually endless features from our inter-

net site. See www.iFIT.com for complete details.

To purchase an optional upgrade module, see

page 18. For information about the availability of

iFIT.com CD’s or videocassettes, call toll-free

1-800-884-0620.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

Make sure that the power cord is plugged in

Refer to page 9.

Press any button on the console or move the

pedals to turn on the power

When one of the buttons on the console is

pressed or the pedals are moved, various displays

and indicators will light and the left LED display

will begin to flash. Note: If the power cord was

just plugged in, the power will already be on.

Select the manual mode

When the power is

turned on, the

manual mode will

be selected and

the manual indica-

tor will light. If you

have selected a

preset program or the iFIT.com mode, press the

SELECT WORKOUT button repeatedly until the

manual indicator lights.
