HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
 HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to 
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you plug in the power adapter. If 
you do not do this, you may damage the console 
displays or other electronic components.
Plug the power adapter 
into the receptacle on 
the front of the ellipti-
cal. Then, plug the 
power adapter into an 
appropriate outlet that 
is properly installed 
in accordance with 
all local codes and 
ordinances.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving 
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical, 
hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the 
wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person 
lift the handle until the elliptical will roll on the wheels. 
Carefully move the elliptical to the desired location, and 
then lower it to the floor.
 HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks 
slightly on your 
floor during use, 
turn one or both 
of the leveling feet 
beneath the rear of 
the frame until the 
rocking motion is 
eliminated.
  HOW TO CHANGE THE INCLINE OF THE RAMP
To vary the motion of the pedals, you can change the 
incline of the ramp. To raise the ramp, simply pull the 
ramp handle upward to the desired incline level. 
To lower the ramp, press the latch button, pull the ramp 
handle, and lower the ramp to the desired incline level. 
Then, release the latch button and engage the latch 
pin into one of the adjustment holes in the frame. Make 
sure that the latch pin is firmly engaged in one of 
the adjustment holes in the frame.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars or the 
upper body arms and step onto the pedal that is in the 
lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push 
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous 
motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either direc-
tion. It is recommended that you turn the pedals 
in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for 
variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite 
direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to 
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have 
a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until 
the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary, 
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower 
pedal.

 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 use the manual mode of the console, you 
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch 
of a button. While you exercise, the console will display 
continuous exercise feedback. You can also measure 
your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor. 
The console offers eighteen onboard workoutsenine 
calorie workouts and nine performance workouts. Each 
workout automatically changes the resistance of the 
pedals as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features an iFit Live mode that 
enables the console to communicate with your wireless 
network through an optional iFit Live module. With the 
iFit Live mode, you can download personalized work-
outs, create your own workouts, track your workout 
results, race against other runners, and access many 
other features. To purchase an iFit Live module at 
any time, go to www.iFit.com or call the telephone 
number on the front cover of this manual. 
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player 
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite 
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 18. To use 
an onboard workout, see page 20. To use an iFit 
Live workout, see page 21. To use the sound sys-
tem, see page 22. To change console settings, 
see page 22. 
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display, 
remove the plastic.

the distance that you have pedaled in miles or 
kilometers. 
  PulseeThis display mode will show your heart rate 
when you use the handgrip heart rate monitor (see 
step 5 on page 19).
  Resistance (Resist.)eThis display mode will 
show the resistance level of the pedals for a few 
seconds each time the resistance level changes. 
  RPMeThis display mode will show your pedaling 
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
  StrideeThis display mode will show the total num-
ber of strides you have pedaled.

 5.  Measure your heart rate if desired. 
  If there are 
sheets of plastic 
on the metal 
contacts on the 
handgrip heart 
rate monitor, 
remove the 
plastic. To mea-
sure your heart 
rate, hold the 
handgrip heart 
rate monitor with your palms resting against the 
contacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping 
the contacts tightly. 
  When your pulse is detected, a heart symbol in the 
calorie display will flash each time your heart beats, 
one or two dashes will appear, and then your heart 
rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate 
reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. 
  If the display does not show your heart rate, make 
sure that your hands are positioned as described. 
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or 
to squeeze the contacts tightly. For optimal perfor-
mance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never 
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean 
the contacts.
 6.   When you are finished exercising, the console 
will turn off automatically.
  If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a 
tone will sound, the console will pause, and the 
time will flash in the display. To resume your work-
out, simply resume pedaling. 
  If the pedals do not move for several minutes and 
the buttons are not pressed, the console will turn 
off and the display will be reset.

 HOW TO USE AN ONBOARD WORKOUT
1.   Begin pedaling or press any button on the 
console to turn on the console.
  When you turn on the console, the display will turn 
on. The console will then be ready for use.
2.  Select an onboard workout.
  To select an onboard workout, press the 9 Calorie 
Workouts button or the 9 Performance Workouts 
button repeatedly until the desired workout appears 
in the display.
  When you select an onboard workout, the display 
will show the duration of the workout and the name 
of the workout. A profile of the speed settings of the 
workout will appear in the matrix. 
  The maximum resistance level and the maximum 
speed for the workout will also appear in the 
display. 
 3.  Begin pedaling to start the workout.
  Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one target speed 
is programmed for each segment. Note: The same 
resistance level and/or target speed may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments. 
  During the 
workout, 
the profile 
on the 
speed 
tab will 
show your 
progress. 
The flashing segment of the profile represents the 
current segment of the workout. The height of the 
flashing segment indicates the target speed for the 
current segment. 
  At the end of each segment of the workout, a 
series of tones will sound and the next segment of 
the profile will begin to flash. If a different resis-
tance level and/or target speed is programmed for 
the next segment, the resistance level and/or target 
speed will appear in the display for a few seconds 
to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then 
change. 
  As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep 
your pedaling speed near the target speed for the 
current segment. When an upward-pointing arrow 
appears in the display, increase your pace. When a 
downward-pointing arrow appears, decrease your 
pace. When no arrow appears, maintain your cur-
rent pace. 
  IMPORTANT: The target speed is intended only 
to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling 
speed may be slower than the target speed. 
Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfort-
able for you. 
  If the resistance level for the current segment is 
too high or too low, you can manually override 
the setting by pressing the Resistance buttons. 
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the 
workout ends, the pedals will automatically 
adjust to the resistance level programmed for 
the next segment.
  The workout will continue in this way until the last 
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time, 
stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To 
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.
4.  Follow your progress with the display. 
  See step 4 on page 18.
5.  Measure your heart rate if desired.
  See step 5 on page 19.
6.   When you are finished exercising, the console 
will turn off automatically.
  See step 6 on page 19.Profile
