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 supply was
just plugged in, the power will already be on.
Select one of the five preset programs.

When the power
Program Indicator
is turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected and
the manual indi-
cator will light. To
select a preset
program, press
the SELECT WORKOUT button repeatedly until
one of the five program indicators lights.
The graphs below show how the resistance will
change during the five preset programs. During
the Gorge Trail program, for example, the resis-

of the program and then gradually decrease. Note:
When a program is selected, the program display
will show a simplified graph of the program.
Press the START PROGRAM button and begin

exercising.
Each program is
Current Segment
divided into several
individual seg-
ments. Each seg-
ment is one, two,
three, or four min-
utes long. One
resistance setting is
programmed for each segment. The resistance set-
ting for the first segment will be shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment column of the program dis-
play. The resistance settings for the next four seg-
ments will be shown in the segments to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment, both the Current Segment column and the
column to the right will flash, a series of tones will
sound, and all resistance settings will move one
column to the left. The resistance setting for the
second segment will then be shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment column and the resistance
of the pedals will automatically adjust to the sec-
ond setting. The program will continue in this way
until the resistance setting for the last segment is
shown in the Current Segment column and the
last segment ends.
Note: You can manually override the resistance
setting for the current segment, if desired, by
pressing the RESISTANCE buttons. However,
when the next segment begins, the resistance
of the pedals will automatically adjust to the
setting for the next segment.
Note: If you stop exercising for six seconds or
longer, the program will pause and the left LED
display will begin to flash. To restart the program,
simply resume exercising.
Watch your progress with the training zone
5
display and the LED displays.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

INCLINE ADJUSTMENT
As you exercise on the elliptical crosstrainer, you can
vary the effect of the exercise by raising or lowering
the incline frame. First, position the pedal arms side
by side as shown. Next, lift the incline frame slightly
and pull the incline knob. Raise or lower the incline
frame to the desired position and release the incline
knob. Move the incline frame up or down slightly
until the pin on the incline knob snaps into one of
the four holes in the incline bracket. Push the
incline knob to make sure that the pin is fully
inserted into the hole.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure that the power supply is plugged into the
elliptical crosstrainer (see step 11 on page 8). Next,
plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.
Note: Each time the
power supply is
plugged in, the ellip-
tical crosstrainer will
automatically
calibrate itself.
Calibration will take
less than one
minute. During cali-
bration, the letters "CAL" will appear in the left LED
display and the indicators in the TRAINING ZONE
display will light in a rapid sequence.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebar
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 below; however,
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 freewheel; 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

upper-body exer-
cise to your work-
outs. Move the
