If the second heart rate program is selected, the target heart rate setting for the entire program will flash in the right display, followed by the letters "PLS." If desired, press the + or - button to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 16). Then, press the Enter button. 4 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor. To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during the program; however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the program to function properly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the letters "PLS" will appear in the right display instead of your heart rate. 5 Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program. The first heart rate program is divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. The target heart rate setting for the Current Segment first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column. The second heart rate program is divided into 40 one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different program before the program ends. During both heart rate programs, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. After the first minute of the program, the Target RPM bar will prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace. When one of the "too slow" arrows lights, increase your pace. When one of the "too fast" indicators lights, decrease your pace. When one of the center indicators lights, maintain your current pace. Important: The Target RPM bar is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. Note: During the program, you can manually override the resistance setting, if desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals may automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. 6 Monitor your progress with the displays. See step 4 on page 10. 7 Turn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 11. 8 When the program is finished, the console will automatically turn off. See step 7 on page 11. 14
