HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE 1 Turn on the power Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged in (see page 9). To turn on the power, press the START button or simply begin exercising. The console will sound a tone and various displays and indicators will light. Note: If you have moved the pedals, the power will already be on. 2 Select the manual mode Each time the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected and the MANUAL CONTROL indicator will light. If a personal trainer program or the iFIT.com mode has been selected, press the PROGRAM SELECT button repeatedly to select the manual mode. Note: When you press the PROGRAM SELECT button, the incline will automatically change to the lowest position. 3 Begin exercising and adjust the incline and the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer As you exercise, adjust the incline and resistance as desired by pressing the INCLINE and RESISTANCE buttons. The incline setting will be shown in the left display. The resistance setting will be shown in the right display. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it may take a few seconds for the selected setting to be reached. 4 Follow your progress with the displays When the manual mode is selected, the LED matrix will display a quarter-mile track. As you exercise, the indicators around the track will light in sequence until you have completed one lap. The LED matrix will then darken and a new lap will begin. The left display will show the elapsed time, the distance that the pedals have moved, the incline level, and the number of laps you have completed. The right display will show your current speed, the approximate number of calories you have burned, and the resistance level. The right display will also show your heart rate when the pulse sensor is used (see step 5). Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of measurement is selected, first press the INCLINE + button and the RESISTANCE + button at the same time. The LED matrix will show a letter E (for English miles) or a letter M (for metric kilometers) to show which unit of measurement is selected. Press the RESISTANCE + button to change the unit of measurement if desired. When the desired unit of measurement is selected, press the PAUSE button. 5 Measure your heart rate if desired Important: If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal con- tacts on the pulse sensor, peel off the plastic before Metal Contacts using the pulse sensor. To use the pulse sensor, place your hands on the metal con- tacts. Your palms must be resting 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 below the right display will light, one or two dash- es (- -) will appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds. The right display will show your heart rate for up to 15 seconds; the display will then show your current speed, calories burned, your heart rate, and the resistance level, in seven-second intervals. Note: Your heart rate will be shown only when the pulse sensor is used. 6 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off after ten minutes If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for ten minutes, the console will automatically switch into a "sleep" mode. Important: Unplug the power cord after each use. 12
