FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you can
change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a
button. While you exercise, the console will display con-
tinuous exercise feedback. You can also measure your
heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor.
The console offers a selection of onboard workouts. Each
workout automatically changes the resistance of the ped-
als as it guides you through an effective workout. You can
also set a calorie, distance, or time goal.
The console also features an iFit mode that enables
the console to communicate with your wireless network
through an optional iFit module. With the iFit mode, you
can download personalized workouts, create your own
workouts, track your workout results, race against other
iFit users, and access many other features. To purchase
an iFit module at any time, go to www.iFit.com or
call the telephone number on the front cover of this
manual.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see this page. To use the
sound system, see page 19. To use an onboard
workout, see page 20. To use a set-a-goal workout,

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will turn
on. The console will then be ready for use.
2. Select the manual mode.
Press the Home button or press either the Speed
button or the Calorie button repeatedly to select the
manual mode.
If a wireless iFit module is not inserted into the con-
sole and connected to iFit, the manual mode will be
selected automatically.
3. Change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals by
pressing the Resistance increase and decrease but-
tons or by pressing one of the numbered Resistance
buttons.
Note: After you press a button, it will take a moment
for the pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
The display can show the following workout
information:
Calories (Cals.)—This display mode will show the
approximate number of calories you have burned.
Calories per Hour (Cals./Hr)—This display mode will
show the approximate number of calories you are burning
per hour.
Distance (Dist.)—This display mode will show the
distance that you have pedaled in miles or kilometers.
Pulse—This display mode will show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip heart rate monitor (see
step 5).
Resistance (Resist.)—This display mode will show
the resistance level of the pedals for a few seconds
each time the resistance level changes.
Speed—This display mode will show your pedaling
speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour.
Time—When the manual mode is selected, this
display mode will show the elapsed time. When a

The matrix offers several display tabs. Press the
Display button until the desired tab is shown. You can
also press the increase and decrease buttons next to
the Enter button.

tings of the workout. A new segment will appear at the

angle will show your progress. The My Trail tab will
also show the number of laps you complete.
Calorie—This tab will show the approximate amount
of calories you have burned. The height of each seg-
ment represents the amount of calories burned during
that segment.
