Turn on the console.

Note: The console requires four “D” batteries (not

included). If you have not installed batteries, refer

to step 4 on page 6 and install batteries.

To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button

or begin pedaling.

Select the manual mode.

Each time the

console is

turned on, the

manual mode

will be selected.

If a Smart pro-

gram 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

the exercise cycle.

As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the

exercise cycle 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

and the left bar graph.

As you exer-

cise, the dis-

play will show

your current

speed, the

elapsed time,

the distance

that you have

pedaled, the current resistance level, and the

approximate numbers of calories and fat calories

you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page

19). In addition, 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 bar graph will appear in the dis-

play 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 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-

sor, place your

hands on the

metal contacts.

Your palms must

be on the upper

contacts and

your fingers

must be touching

the lower contacts. Avoid moving 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

will automatically turn off after five minutes.

If the pedals are not moved and the console but-

tons are not pressed for five minutes,

the con-

sole will automatically turn off to conserve

the batteries.
