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.

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.

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.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

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 300 pounds.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes 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.

11. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercis-

ing, stop immediately and begin cooling

down.

12. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

readings. The pulse sensor is intended only

as an exercise aid in determining heart rate

trends in general.

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.

14. Always unplug the power cord immediately

after use and before cleaning the elliptical

exerciser.

15. The decals shown on page 4 have been

placed on the elliptical exerciser. If either

decal is missing or illegible, please call our

Customer Service Department toll-free at

1-888-825-2588 and order a free replacement

decal. Apply the decal in the location shown.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.

This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health prob-

lems. Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or

property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product

must be

grounded.

If it should

malfunction

or break

down,

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.

A temporary

adapter may

be used to

connect the

power cord

to a 2-pole

receptacle

as shown at

the right if a

properly

grounded

outlet is not

available. The temporary adapter should be used only

until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a

qualified electrician.

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.

Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip-

tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically

calibrate itself. During the calibration process,

three dashes (– – –) will appear in the console dis-

play, and the ramp will rise to the highest position

and then sink to the lowest position. The calibra-

tion process will last for one to two minutes. If the

incline system does not calibrate itself, see HOW

TO CALIBRATE THE INCLINE SYSTEM on page

21.

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.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-

als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser

does not have a free wheel; the pedals will contin-

ue to move until the flywheel stops. When the ped-

als are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.

Then, step off the lowest pedal.

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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features

designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and

effective. When the manual mode of the console is

selected, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and

the angle of the ramp can be changed with the touch

of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide

continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure

your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.

The console also offers fifteen preset programs. Each

program automatically changes the resistance of the

elliptical exerciser and prompts you to increase or

decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec-

tive workout.

In addition, the console features four heart rate pro-

grams that automatically change the resistance of the

elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace to

keep your heart rate near a target level as you exer-

cise.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-

ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable,

you can connect the elliptical exerciser to your portable

stereo, home stereo, computer, or VCR and play spe-

cial iFIT.com MP3, CD, and video programs (iFIT.com

MP3 programs, CDs, and videocassettes are available

separately). iFIT.com programs automatically control

the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and prompt

you to vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches

you through every step of your workout. High-energy

music provides added motivation. To purchase and

download iFIT.com MP3 programs, go to

www.iFIT.com. To purchase iFIT.com CDs and

videocassettes, call toll-free 1-888-825-2588.

With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-

er, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com

and access programs directly from the internet.

Explore www.iFIT.com for more information.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the

steps beginning on page 11. To use a preset

program, see page 13. To use a heart rate program,

see page 14. To use an iFIT.com MP3, CD, or video

program, see page 19. To use an iFIT.com program

directly from our Web site, see page 20.

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face

of the console, remove it before using the console.
