HOW TO USE THE PULSE PROGRAMS The CONSTANT PULSE program will automatically control the resistance of the pedals to keep your heart rate near a target level during your workout. The VARIABLE PULSE program will automatically control the resistance of the pedals to keep your heart rate within a target range during your workout. 1 Put on a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor (not included). You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a PULSE program. See the instructions included with the chest pulse sensor. 2 Plug in the power cord or begin pedalling to activate the console. See HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE on page 10. 3 Select one of the PULSE programs. To select a PULSE program, first press the PULSE button. The indicator on the button will light, and the word "PULSE" will appear in the main display for a moment. 6 Enter a maximum heart rate setting. Next, the words "PCT MAX RATE" and the maximum heart rate setting of the program will appear in the main display. The maximum heart rate setting represents a percentage of your estimated maximum heart rate. Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 - 30 = 190). Therefore, if you are 30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50% is equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95). If you wish to change the maximum heart rate setting, press the + and - buttons beside the ENTER button. When the desired maximum heart rate setting is shown, press the ENTER button. 7 Enter a program time. See step 5 on page 14. 8 Begin exercising. During PULSE programs, the matrix will display a heartbeat graphic. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will appear in the matrix. 16
