Note: If the resistance of the pedals and/or the

pace setting does not change when a “chirp”

is heard:
• Make sure that the letters “iFIT” appear in

the display.

• Adjust the volume of your CD player or VCR.

If the volume is too high or too low, the con-

sole may not detect the program signals.

• Make sure that the audio cable is properly

connected and that it is fully plugged in.

Monitor your progress with the display.

See step 4 on page 13.

Measure your heart rate as desired.

See step 5 on page 14.

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 14.

When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 14.

HOW TO USE AN IFIT.COM PROGRAM

DIRECTLY FROM OUR WEB SITE

Our Web site at www.iFIT.com allows you to play

iFIT.com programs directly from the internet. To use

programs from our Web site, the elliptical exerciser

must be connected to your home computer. See HOW

TO CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER on page 20. In

addition, you must have an internet connection and an

internet service provider. A list of specific system

requirements is found on our Web site.

Follow the steps below to use a program from our 

Web site. 

Press the Resistance decrease button or

begin pedaling to turn on the console.

A moment after the console is turned on, the dis-

play will light.

Select the iFIT.com mode.

See step 2 on page 21.

Go to your computer and start an internet

connection.

Start your Web browser, if necessary, and go

to our Web site at www.iFIT.com.

Follow the desired links on our Web site to

select a program.

Read and follow the on-line instructions for using

a program.

Follow the on-line instructions to start the

program.

When you start the program, an on-screen count-

down will begin. 

Return to the elliptical exerciser and begin

pedaling.

When the on-screen countdown ends, the pro-

gram will begin. The program will function in

almost the same way as a resistance & rpm pro-

gram (see step 3 on page 17). However, an elec-

tronic “chirping” sound will alert you when the resis-

tance setting and/or pace setting is about to

change.

Monitor your progress with the display.

See step 4 on page 13.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 14.

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 14.

When you are finished exercising, the con-

sole will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 14.
