HOW TO USE THE RANDOM HILLS PROGRAM The RANDOM HILLS program will automatically change the resistance of the pedals during your workout. Each time the program is selected, the resistance settings of the program will be different. 1 Plug in the power cord or begin pedalling to activate the console. See step 1 on page 10. 2 Select the RANDOM HILLS program. To select the RANDOM HILLS program, repeatedly press the PROGRAM SELECT button until the words "RANDOM HILLS" appear in the main display. A few seconds after the program is selected, the name of the program and the total program time will begin to scroll across the main display. Note: To select a different RANDOM HILLS program, simply press the CLEAR button. The program can be set to last for 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 minutes. See step 8 on page 20. 3 Press the START button and begin pedalling to start the program. When the button is pressed, the console will begin displaying exercise data. The program is divided into 30-second segments. One resistance level is programmed for each segment. (The same resistance level may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.) During the program, the matrix will show your progress and the resistance settings of the pro- gram. The flashing column represents the current segment of the program. The number of lit indi- Flashing Column cators in the flash- ing column shows the resistance set- ting for the current segment. At the end of each seg- ment, a series of tones will sound, the time will flash in the main display, and the flashing column of the matrix will move one position to the right. The resistance of the pedals will then automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next segment. Note: The matrix shows relative resistance levels. The lit indicators in the columns may shift upward or downward so that the highest indicators are always shown in the matrix. During the program, you can change the resistance of the pedals if desired by pressing the RESISTANCE + and - buttons or the QUICK RESISTANCE buttons. However, when the current segment ends, the resistance will automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next segment. Note: The program begins with a two-minute warm-up period and ends with a two-minute cool-down period. During these periods, the resistance level cannot be changed. After you have completed the first three minutes of the program, the flashing column will no longer move to the right at the end of each segment. Instead, all columns of indicators will move one position to the left at the end of each segment. When only 12 minutes remain in the program, the flashing column will again move one position to the right at the end of each segment, until the program is completed. 4 Follow your progress with the main display. See step 5 on page 10. 5 Measure your pulse if desired. See step 6 on page 11. 6 When you are finished using the recumbent bike, the console will automatically enter an idle mode or turn off. See step 7 on page 11. 13
