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, you can change the
resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. While
you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise
feedback. You can also measure your heart rate using
the handgrip heart rate monitor or the optional chest heart
rate monitor (see page 21 for information about the
optional chest heart rate monitor).
The console also offers a selection of onboard workouts.
Each workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals 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 page 15. To use an
onboard workout, see page 18. To use a set-a-goal
workout, see page 19. To use an iFit workout, see
page 20. To use the sound system, see page 21. To

Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display, remove

the resistance level of the pedals for a few seconds
each time the resistance level changes.
RPM—This display mode will show your pedaling
