HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Turn on the console.
1
Note: The console requires four 1,5 V "D" batter-
ies. If you have not installed batteries, refer to step
9 on page 7 and install batteries.
To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button
or begin pedalling.
Select the manual mode.
2
Each time the
This corner
console is
should be blank
turned on, the
manual mode
will be select-
ed. If a Smart
program or the
iFIT.com mode
has been selected, select the manual mode by
pressing the Program button repeatedly until the
upper right corner of the display is blank.
Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of
3
the crosstrainer.
As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the
crosstrainer as desired by pressing the + and –
buttons. There are ten resistance levels; level 10
is the most challenging. Note: After the buttons
are pressed, it will take a few seconds for the
selected setting to be reached.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes
4
and the left bar graph.
When the con-
sole is turned
on, the scan
mode will be
selected. As
you exercise,
the display will
show your cur-
rent speed, the elapsed time, the distance that
you have pedalled, the current resistance level,
and the approximate number of calories, and the
approximate number of fat calories you have
burned (see FAT BURNING on page 19). In addi-
tion, your heart rate will be shown when you use
the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 at the
right) or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer to
page 18). Note: Each time the resistance level
changes, the console will show the resistance
level for six seconds. When a Smart program is
selected, the display will show the time remaining
in the program instead of the elapsed time.
In addition, the left pace indicator will appear in the
display to show your exercise pace. As you
increase or decrease your pace, the indicator will
increase or decrease in height.
If desired, you can select a single feedback mode
for continuous display. Press the Display Mode
button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H),
Time, Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Fat Cals.
indicator appears in the display. Make sure that
the Scan indicator does not appear.
Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at
the same time, the console may not display
your heart rate accurately.
Note: If there are thin sheets of plastic on the
metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor,
peel off the plastic.
To use the hand-
grip pulse sen-
Metal
sor, place your
Contacts
hands on the
metal contacts.
Your palms must
be on the upper
contacts and
your fingers
must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid mov-
ing your hands. When your pulse is detected, the
heart-shaped indicator in the display will flash
each time your heart beats. After a moment, two
dashes (– –) will appear and then your heart rate
will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note:
When you first hold the handgrips, the display will
show your heart rate continuously for 15 sec-
onds. The display will then show your heart rate
along with the other feedback modes.
When you are finished exercising, the console
6
will automatically turn off after a few minutes.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-
sole will automatically turn off to conserve
the batteries.

HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM
Turn on the console.
1
Refer to step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the eight Smart programs.
2
Each time the
console is turned
on, the manual
mode will be
selected. To
select a Smart
program, press
the Program but-
ton repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
or 8 appears in the upper right corner of the dis-
play.
The profiles on the right side of the console show
how the resistance of the crosstrainer and the tar-
get pace will change during the Smart programs.
For example, profile number 6 shows that during
Smart program 6, the resistance will gradually
increase during the first half of the program, and
then gradually decrease during the last half; the
target pace will alternately increase and decrease
throughout the program.
Start the program.
3
To start the program, simply begin exercising.
Each Smart program consists of either twenty or
thirty, one-minute periods. One resistance setting
and one pace setting are programmed for each
period. (The same resistance setting and/or pace
setting may be programmed for consecutive peri-
ods.)
During the program, the resistance of the
crosstrainer will automatically change as shown
by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur-
rent resistance level is too high or too low, you
can change the resistance level by pressing the +
and – buttons. However, when the current period
of the program is completed, the resistance level
will automatically change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next period.
The target pace
settings for the
program will be
shown by the
right pace indica-
tor in the display.
Increase Arrow
(The left indicator
will show your
actual exercise pace.) As the right indicator
changes in height during the program, simply
adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the
same height. If your pace is slower than the cur-
rent target pace, the increase arrow will appear in
the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if
your pace is faster than the target pace, the
decrease arrow will appear. Important: The tar-
get pace settings for the program are intended
only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may
be slower than the target pace settings, espe-
cially during the first few months of your exer-
cise program. Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
During the program, the display will show the time
remaining in the program. If you continue exercis-
ing after the program is completed, the display
will continue to show your exercise feedback.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes.

Refer to step 4 on page 12.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
5
See step 5 on page 12.
When you are finished exercising, the console
6
will automatically turn off after a few minutes.
Refer to step 6 on page 12.
