Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of
the pedals as desired
As you exercise,
change the resis-
tance of the ped-
als by pressing
the RESISTANCE
buttons. There
are ten resistance
levels; level 1 is the easiest. Note: After a
RESISTANCE button is pressed, it will take a
moment for the pedals to reach the selected
resistance level.
Adjust the angle of the ramp as desired
To vary your exer-
cise, change the
angle of the ramp
by pressing the
RAMP ANGLE
buttons. There
are five angles
that simulate skiing, walking, cycling, and climb-
ing. Note: After a RAMP ANGLE button is
pressed, it will take a moment for the ramp to
reach the selected angle.
Watch your progress with the program display,
the training zone display, and the LED displays
The program
display—When
the manual mode
or the iFIT.com
mode is selected,
the program dis-
play will show a
track representing 1/4 mile. As you exercise, the
indicators around the track will light in sequence
until the entire track is lit. A new lap will then begin.
The training zone
display—As you
exercise, the train-
ing zone display
will show the
approximate inten-
sity level of your
exercise. For example, if three or four indicators in
the display are lit (refer to the drawing above), the
display shows that your intensity level is ideal for
fat burning.
The left LED dis-
play—As you exer-
cise, the left display
will show the dis-
tance you have
traveled, your cur-
rent speed, the elapsed time, and the current
resistance level. The display will change from one
number to the other every six seconds, as shown
by the indicators around the display. Note: When a
preset program is selected, the left display will
show the time remaining in the program instead of
the elapsed time.
Note: If you stop exercising for six seconds or
longer, the console will pause and the left LED
display will begin to flash.
Note: Speed and distance can be shown in
either miles or kilometers. To select the
desired unit of measurement, refer to page 18.
The right LED dis-
play—As you exer-
cise, the right dis-
play will show the
ramp angle and the
approximate num-
ber of calories you
have burned. The display will change from one
number to the other every six seconds, as shown
by the indicators below the display. This display
will also show your heart rate when the pulse sen-
sor is used (see step 7).
Measure your heart rate, if desired
Note: If the metal contacts on the front and
rear of the pulse handlebar are covered with
clear plastic, peel off the clear plastic before
using the pulse sensor.
To measure
your heart rate,
place your
hands on the
metal contacts
on the pulse
handlebar. Your
palms must be
resting on the
front contacts and your fingers must be touching
the rear contacts. Avoid moving your hands.
