As you exercise, the workout intensity level bar will indicate the approximate intensity level of your exercise. When your pulse is detected, a heart symbol will flash in the display 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. When a wireless iFit module is connected, the wireless symbol at the top of the display will show the strength of your wireless signal. Four arcs indicate full signal strength. 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 performance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts. 6. Turn on the fan if desired. To exit the manual mode or a workout, press the Home button. If necessary, press the Home button again. Change the volume level of the console by pressing the volume increase and decrease buttons. The fan has high, low, and auto speed settings. While the auto mode is selected, the speed of the fan will automatically increase or decrease as you increase or decrease your pedaling speed. Press the fan button repeatedly to select a fan speed or to turn off the fan. 5. Measure your heart rate if desired. You can measure your heart rate using either the handgrip heart rate monitor or the optional chest heart rate monitor (see page 25 for information about the optional chest heart rate monitor). If there are sheets of plas- tic on the metal contacts on the handgrip heart rate monitor, remove the plas- tic. To measure your heart rate, Contacts hold the handgrip heart rate monitor with your palms resting against the contacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts tightly. Note: If the pedals do not move for about thirty seconds, the fan will turn off automatically. 7. When you are finished exercising, unplug the power cord. If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a tone will sound and the console will pause. 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. When you are finished exercising, press the power switch to the off position and unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do this, the electrical components on the elliptical may wear prematurely. 21
