Battery Cover on each side. Remove the Battery

Covers by sliding them in the direction shown by the

arrows on the Battery Covers. Insert two batteries into

each battery compartment; make sure that all four

partments. Then, reattach the Battery Covers by slid-

ing them in the opposite direction.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

To mount the elliptical trainer, firmly hold the handle-

bars or the T-handle and carefully 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

turn the pedal disks in the direction shown below;

however, to give variety to your exercise, you may

choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite

direction.

To dismount the elliptical trainer, allow the pedals to

come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical

trainer does not have a free wheel; the pedals 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 ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE

PEDALS

As you exercise,

you can adjust

the resistance of

the pedals with

the resistance

knob on the

console. To

increase the

resistance,

turn the knob

clockwise; to

decrease the

resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The innovative console offers a manual mode and

three personal coach pace programs. The pace pro-

grams are designed to help you achieve specific exer-

cise goals by pacing your exercise. You can choose

from a stamina-building interval program, an aerobic

program, and a special fat burning program. The con-

sole also features six modes that display instant exer-

cise feedback. The modes are described below:

CaloriesÑThis mode shows the approximate number

of calories you have burned.

Fat CaloriesÑThis mode shows the approximate

number of fat calories you have burned (see Burning

Fat on page 12).

TimeÑIf you select the manual mode, this mode will

show the elapsed time. If you select one of the three

pace programs, this mode will count down the time

remaining in the program. Note: When you stop exer-

cising, the time will flash when it is displayed.

DistanceÑThis mode shows your total distance, in

miles.

SpeedÑThis mode shows your exercise pace, in

miles per hour.

ScanÑThis mode displays the other five modes, for

seven seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

HOW THE PACE PROGRAMS OPERATE

When you use a

pace program, two

columns of bars will

appear in the upper

display. The left col-

umn represents a

target pace, and the

right column shows

your actual exercise

pace. The target pace will change periodically during

the program; as the target pace changes, simply

adjust your pace to keep both columns at the same

height. Important: The target pace is a goal pace.

Your actual pace may be slower than the target

pace, especially during the first few months of

your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a

pace that is comfortable for you.

The three graphs

on the console

show how the target

pace will change

during the

programs. During

the Aerobic

program (program 2), for example, the target pace will

gradually increase during the first half of the program,

and gradually decrease during the last half of the pro-

gram. Each program will last for twenty minutes.

STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION

Before the console can be operated, batteries

must be installed. See assembly step 7 on page 8.

Follow the steps below to operate the console.

Turn on the power

To turn on the

power, press

the on/reset

button or

simply begin

exercising.

The entire dis-

play will appear for two seconds; the console will

then be ready for use. Note: If batteries were just

installed, the power will already be on.

Select one of the three pace programs or the

manual mode

To select one of

the pace

programs,

repeatedly press

the program

select button. A

1, 2, or 3 will

appear in the upper display to show which pro-

gram you have selected. To select the manual

mode, press the program select button until no

number appears in the upper display. The pro-

grams will be selected in the following order: pro-

gram 1 (interval), program 2 (aerobic), program 3

(fat burn), manual mode.

Begin your workout

If you selected

the manual

mode, go to

step 4. If you

selected one of

the pace pro-

grams, two

columns of bars

will appear in

the upper display. The left column will show a

target pace. The right column will show your

actual exercising pace. Adjust your pace until the

same number of bars appear in both columns.

The arrows on the right side of the upper display

will show whether you need to increase or

decrease your pace. Each time the target pace

changes during the program, adjust your pace to

keep both columns at the same height.

Follow your progress with the six feedback

modes

The scan

modeÑ

Repeatedly

press the mode

button until a

bar appears

above the scan

symbol. When the scan mode is selected, the con-

sole will display the calories, fat calories, time,

distance, and speed modes, for seven seconds

each, in a repeating cycle.
