HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1. Press any button on the console or begin
p
edaling to turn on the console.
W
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—
T
his display can show
the elapsed time, the
a
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.
16
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either the
h
andgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 18 for information about the
o
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
s
queeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal
performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft
c
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
p
edaling to turn on the console.
S
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
i
ndicator lights, increase your pace; when a right
indicator lights, decrease your pace. When the
c
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.
