HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1. Press any button on the console or begin

edaling to turn on the console.

hen you turn on the console, the display and the

target pacer will light. A tone will sound and the

console will be ready for use.

2. Select the manual mode.

When you turn on the console, the manual mode

will be selected. If you have selected a workout,

reselect the manual mode by pressing any of the

Quick Resistance/Pace Workouts buttons repeat-

edly until a track appears in the left side of the dis-

play.

3. Begin pedaling and change the resistance of

the pedals as desired.

As you pedal, change

the resistance of the

pedals by pressing the

Quick Resistance but-

tons. Note: After you

press the buttons, it

will take a moment for the pedals to reach the

selected resistance level.

4. Follow your progress with the displays.

Upper right display—

his display can show

the elapsed time, the

pproximate number of

calories you have

burned, and the dis-

tance (total number of revolutions) you have ped-

aled. The display will change modes every few

seconds.

Lower right display—

This display will show

your pedaling pace in

revolutions per minute

(rpm) and the resis-

tance level of the ped-

als. The display will change modes every few sec-

onds.

This display will also show your heart rate when

you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional

chest pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 16).

The left display will

show a track repre-

senting 1/4 mile (640

revolutions). As you

exercise, indicators will

appear in succession

around the track until

the entire track

appears. The track will then disappear and the

indicators will again begin to appear in succession.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

You can measure your heart rate using either the

andgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse

sensor (see page 18 for information about the

ptional chest pulse sensor). Note: If you hold

the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest

pulse sensor at the same time, the console will

not display your heart rate accurately.

If there are sheets

of clear plastic on

the metal contacts

on the handgrip

pulse sensor,

remove the plas-

tic. In addition,

make sure that

your hands are

clean. To measure

your heart rate,

hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your palms

resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving

your hands or gripping the contacts tightly.

When your pulse is detected, a heart-shaped sym-

bol will flash in the display and then your heart

rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart

rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 sec-

onds.

If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that

your hands are positioned as described. Be care-

ful not to move your hands excessively or to

queeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal

performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft

loth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-

cals to clean the contacts.

6. When you are finished exercising, the console

will turn off automatically.

If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a

series of tones will sound and the console will

pause.

If the pedals do not move for about five minutes,

the console will turn off and the displays will be

reset.

HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT

1. Press any button on the console or begin

edaling to turn on the console.

ee step 1 on page 15.

2. Select a preset workout.

To select a preset workout, press one of the eight

Quick Resistance/Pace Workouts buttons. When

you select a preset workout, the name of the work-

out and the maximum resistance level will appear

in the display for a few seconds. A profile of the

resistance levels of the workout will also scroll

across the left side of the display.

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.

Each workout is divided into 30 one-minute seg-

ments. One resistance level and one target pace

setting is programmed for each segment. Note:

The same resistance level and/or target pace set-

ting may be programmed for consecutive seg-

ments.

During the workout, the workout profile will show

your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-

ing column of the profile represents the current

segment of the workout. The height of the flashing

column indicates the resistance level for the cur-

rent segment. At the end of each segment of the

workout, a series of tones will sound and the next

segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-

ent resistance level is programmed for the next

segment, the resistance level will appear in the

display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-

tance of the pedals will then change.

During the workout, the target pacer will prompt

you to keep your pedaling pace near the target

pace setting for the current segment. When a left

ndicator lights, increase your pace; when a right

indicator lights, decrease your pace. When the

enter indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

IMPORTANT: The target pacer is intended only

to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace

that is comfortable for you.

If the resistance level for the current segment is

too high or too low, you can manually override the

resistance level by pressing the Quick Resistance

buttons. However, when the current segment

ends, the resistance of the pedals will automatical-

ly adjust to the resistance level for the next seg-

ment.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series

of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To

restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The

workout will continue until the last segment of the

profile ends.

4. Follow your progress with the displays.

See step 4 on page 15.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 16.

6. When you are finished exercising, the console

will turn off automatically.

See step 6 on page 16.
