While you exercise, you will be prompted to maintain a constant pedaling pace. When an upward- pointing arrow or the prompt SPEED UP appears next to the pace information in the display (see step 6 on this page), 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. 6 8 7 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. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series of tones will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The program will continue until the last segment of the program ends. Follow your progress with the display. During heart rate program 1, the display will show a graphic that represents a heartbeat each time your heartbeat is detected, the elapsed time, and the distance that you have pedaled. During heart rate program 2, the display will show the program profile, the time remaining in the program, and the distance that you have pedaled. To view the profile, your pedaling pace, and the distance you have pedaled, press the Display button. Note: The words SPEED UP or SLOW DOWN may appear in the display to prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment. To view the time remaining in the program and the distance pedaled, press the Display button. Press the Display button again to view the time remaining and the approximate number of calories burned. To view the time remaining, distance pedaled, ramp incline, number of calories burned, and pedaling pace, press the Display button again. Note: An upward- or downward-pointing arrow may appear in the display to prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment. To view the first display again, press the Display button again. Turn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 15. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically. See step 7 on page 15. 20 HOW TO USE AN IFIT PROGRAM HOW TO USE THE STEREO SOUND SYSTEM 2 1 Turn on the console.

Next, select the desired program on the iFIT Card by pressing the increase and decrease buttons next to the iFIT slot. A moment after you select a program, the voice of a personal trainer will begin guiding you through your workout. iFIT programs work in the same way as preset programs. To use the program, see steps 3 to 6 on pages 16 and 17. 21 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight. HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER If the elliptical exerciser rocks on your floor during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet beneath the rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated. Leveling Feet Center Foot HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING • Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. • Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings. • For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the metal contacts for about 30 seconds. • For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts. HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER If the elliptical exerciser flexes in the center during use, turn the center foot beneath the frame (see the drawing at the left) un...
