CONSOLE DIAGRAM 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. As you exercise, the console will provide 
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure 
your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor 
or a compatible heart rate monitor. See page 22 for 
information about purchasing an optional chest 
heart rate monitor.
You can also connect your smart device to the console 
and use an iFit® app to record and track your workout 
information.
The console also offers sixteen preset workouts—eight 
workouts for the recumbent bike mode and eight work-
outs for the elliptical mode. Each workout automatically 
changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you 
to vary your pedaling speed while guiding you through 
an effective workout.
You can even connect your personal audio 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 19. To use 
the sound system, see page 20. To use a preset 
workout, see page 21. To connect your smart 
device to the console, see page 22. To connect 
your heart rate monitor to the console, see page 
22. To use the settings mode, see page 23.
Note: Before using the console, make sure that 
batteries are installed (see assembly step 12 on page 
12). If there is a sheet of plastic on the display, 
remove the plastic.

4. Follow your progress with the displays.
  The speed meter—This 
display will provide a visual 
representation of your pedal-
ing speed. As you increase 
or decrease your pedaling 
speed, bars will appear or 
disappear in the speed meter.
   Note: During a preset workout, this display will 
show a target speed zone for each segment of the 
workout.
  The upper display—This 
display will show your pedal-
ing speed in revolutions 
per minute (RPM) and your 
power output in watts. The 
display will change every few 
seconds.
   This display will also show the resistance level 
of the pedals for a few seconds each time the 
resistance level changes.
   This display will also show 
your heart rate (BPM) when 
you use the handgrip heart 
rate monitor or a compat-
ible heart rate monitor (see 
step 5).
  The center display—This 
display will show the distance  
(Dist.) you have pedaled in 
miles or kilometers and the 
elapsed time. The display will 
change every few seconds.
   Note: During a preset workout, the display will 
show the time remaining in the workout instead of 
the elapsed time.
   The lower display—This 
display will show your 
pedaling speed in miles per

   When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be 
shown in the upper display. For the most accurate 
heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 
15 seconds. 
   If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your 
hands are positioned as described. Be careful not 
to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the 
contacts tightly. For optimal performance, clean 
the contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, 
abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.
