FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed
with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also offers six Smart programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace
as it guides you through an effective workout.
In addition, the console features two Heart Rate programs that change the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate
near a target heart rate as you exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable
(available at electronics stores), you can connect the
elliptical exerciser to your home stereo, portable stereo,
computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and
video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are
available separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs
automatically control the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pace as a personal trainer
coaches you through every step of your workout. Highenergy music provides added motivation. To purchase
iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, visit our Web
site at www.iconeurope.com.
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.

arrow pointing to each segment of the indicator
bar (see the drawing above). At the end of each
period, the number of arrows will change if a different target pace is programmed for the next
period. When the number of arrows changes,
change your pace until there is one arrow pointing
to each segment of the indicator bar. Important:
The target pace is intended only to provide a
goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the
target pace, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Make sure
to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.

HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM
Each Smart program will automatically change the
resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective workout. Programs 3 and 4 are weight loss programs, programs 5 and 6 are aerobic programs, and
programs 7 and 8 are high-performance programs.
Follow the steps below to use a Smart program.

Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.

Select one of the Smart programs.
Each time the console is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected. To
select a Smart program,
press the Program button
repeatedly until the number
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 appears
in the small display.

During the program, the center of the large display will show the time remaining in the program.
If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the displays will pause and the time will flash. If you continue pedaling after the program is completed, the
displays will continue to show exercise feedback.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

To start the program, simply begin pedaling. Each
Smart program consists of 20 or 30 one-minute
periods. One resistance level and one target pace
are programmed for each period. (The same
resistance level and/or target pace may be programmed for two or more consecutive periods.)

Follow your progress with the large display.
See step 4 on page 11.

Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 12.

At the end of each period of the program, the
resistance of the pedals will automatically change
if a different resistance level is programmed for
the next period. Note: If the resistance level is too
high or too low, you can change it by pressing the
+ and – buttons below the large display. However,
when the current period is completed, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a
different resistance level is programmed for the
next period.

Turn on the fan if desired.

When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 12.

gram to operate properly. Each time you hold
the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal
contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When
you are not holding the handgrips, the letters PLS
will appear in the large display instead of your
heart rate.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Heart Rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 195 beats per minute.) Heart Rate program 2 is
designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate that you select.

To start the program, simply begin pedaling.
Program 1 consists of 20 one-minute periods.
One resistance level and one target heart rate are
programmed for each period. (The same resistance level and/or target heart rate may be programmed for two or more consecutive periods.)
Program 2 is sixty minutes long (you may choose
to use only part of the program). The same resistance level and target heart rate are programmed
for the entire program.

Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.

Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.

Select one of the Heart Rate programs.

If program 1 is selected, the resistance of the
pedals will periodically change. (Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can change
it by pressing the + and – buttons below the large
display. However, when the current period is completed, the resistance of the pedals may automatically change.) If program 2 is selected, the
resistance of the pedals will not change. Note:
You can change the resistance level for the entire
program by pressing the + and – buttons below
the large display if desired.

Each time the console is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected. To
select a Heart Rate program, press the Program
button repeatedly until the
number 1 or 2 appears in
the small display.

Enter your age or a target heart rate.
If program 1 is selected, the word AGE will
appear in the large display and the current age
setting will flash. If you have already entered your
age, press the Enter button. If you have not
entered your age, press the small + and – buttons
to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Once you have entered your age, it will be
saved in memory until the batteries are replaced.
If program 2 is selected, the letters PLS (pulse)
will appear in the large display and the current target heart rate will flash. If you do not wish to
change the target heart rate, press the Enter button. If you wish to change the target heart rate,
press the small + and – buttons. Then, press the
Enter button. The target heart rate can be from 70
to 170 beats per minute.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously during a Heart Rate program; however, you
must hold the handgrips frequently for the pro-

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

Next, remove the four Screws (51) from the right
Pedal Disc (15), and slide the Pedal Disc off. Remove
all Screws (52, 64) from the Right Side Shield (4) and
the two Screws (77) from beneath the Pedal Disc, and
then remove the Right Side Shield. Remove all
Screws (52) from the Left Side Shield (3) and remove
the Left Side Shield.

To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild detergent. Important: Keep
liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight. During storage, remove
the batteries from the console.

Next, see the drawing below and locate the Reed
Switch (53). Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated
M4 x 16mm Screw (52). Slide the Reed Switch slightly
toward or away from the Magnet (58) on the flywheel,
and then retighten the Screw. Turn the left Pedal Disc
(15) for a moment. Repeat until the console displays
correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly
adjusted, reattach the Side Shields (3, 4), the right
Pedal Disc (15), and the Pedal Springs (11).

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced. See assembly step 4 on page 6.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands whilst using the handgrip
pulse sensor; excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 15 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, clean the metal contacts with a soft cloth—do
not use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise.

WARNING:
• Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of
35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.

• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone as you exercise.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise
program, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above
your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.”
The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates
for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
