HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD

Locate the power cord on the elliptical crosstrainer.

Plug the power cord into a surge protector (not includ-

ed), and plug the surge protector into a 120-volt outlet.

The displays and various indicators on the console will

light and a tone will sound. To decrease the possibil-

ity of damaging the elliptical crosstrainer, always

use a surge protector.

Note: Each time the power cord is plugged in, the

incline frame will move to the lowest position. In

addition, the incline frame may automatically move

up and then down as the elliptical crosstrainer

goes through a calibration sequence. During the

calibration sequence, dashes will appear in the left

LED display and the INCLINE indicator will flash.

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; howev-

er, 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.

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 shoul-

ders.

To exercise only your

lower body, hold the

pulse handlebar as you

exercise.

CAUTION:Before operating the

console, read the following precautions.

• Always hold the pulse handlebar or the upper

body arms when mounting, dismounting, or

using the elliptical crosstrainer.

• When you stop exercising, allow the pedals to

slowly come to a stop.

• Keep your feet and objects from beneath the

elliptical crosstrainer.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the

console dry.

• 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 determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

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

incline and the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer

can be changed with a touch of a button. As you exer-

cise, the LED matrix and displays will provide continu-

ous exercise feedback. You can even measure your

heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.

The console also offers eight certified personal trainer

programs. Each program automatically changes the

incline and the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer

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 incline and the resistance of the elliptical

crosstrainer as a personal trainer coaches you

through every step of your workout. High-energy

music provides added motivation. 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 programs 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.
