HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD HOW TO FOLD AND UNFOLD THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER 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 product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER To move the elliptical exerciser, first fold it as described at the left. Next, stand in front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip pulse sensors, and place one foot against the center of the front stabilizer. Pull the pulse sensors until the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired position, and then lower it.
CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When you select the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals and the incline of the ramp 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 twenty preset programs.
4 HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE While you pedal, the upper left corner of the display will show the elapsed time. Note: During a program, except for heart rate program 1, the display will show the time remaining in the program. Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic. 1 Follow your progress with the display. Press any button on the console or begin pedaling to turn on the console. When you turn on the console, the display will light.
5 Measure your heart rate if desired. 6 If there are Contacts sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the plastic. In addition, make sure that your hands are clean. To measure your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts tightly. Turn on the fan if desired. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the Fan button.
During the program, the program profile will show your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing segment of the profile represents the current segment of the program. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the current segment. At the end of each segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash.
4 Follow your progress with the display. HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM PROGRAM During the program, the display will show the program profile, the time remaining in the program, and the distance you have pedaled. 1 Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 13. To view the profile, your pedaling pace, and the distance you have pedaled, press the Display button.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment. When an upward-pointing arrow or the prompt SPEED UP appears next to the pace information in the display (see step 4 on page 16), increase your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears, maintain your current pace. Important: The target pace settings are intended only to provide motivation.
5 Follow your progress with the display. HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM See step 4 on page 16. 6 1 Measure your heart rate if desired. Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 13.

See step 6 on page 14. 8 Select a heart rate program.
5 If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals may automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. Begin pedaling to start the program. Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 oneminute segments.

Important: To avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training zone as you exercise. WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.
