Note: The console can show speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. The letters MPH or Km/H will appear in the lower display to show which unit of measurement is selected. To change the unit of measurement, first hold down the Start button for a few seconds. An E (for English) or an M (for metric) will appear in the lower display. Press the 1 Step Resistance 10 button to change the unit of measurement. While you are selecting a unit of measurement, you can also select a backlight mode. The "On" mode keeps the backlight on while the console is on. The "Off" mode turns the backlight off. The "Auto" mode keeps the backlight on only while you are exercising. Press the 1 Step Resistance 1 button to change the backlight mode if desired. Then, press the Start button. 5 Measure your heart rate if desired. If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal con- tacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the Contacts plastic. 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, your heart rate will be shown in the lower display. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the lower display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other modes. If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. 6 Turn on the fan if desired. To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Auto Breeze Fan button; the number 1 will appear next to the word "Fan" in the display. To turn on the fan at medium speed, press the button a second time; the number 2 will appear. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the button a third time; the number 3 will appear. To select the auto mode, press the button again; the words "Auto Fan" will appear. When the auto mode is selected, the speed of the fan will automatically increase or decrease as you increase or decrease your pedaling speed. To turn off the fan, press the Auto Breeze Fan button again. Note: If the pedals are not turned for a few minutes, the fan will automatically turn off. Slide the thumb tab on the right side of the fan to pivot the fan to the desired angle. 7 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. If the pedals are not moved for several seconds, a tone will sound, the console will pause, and the time will begin to flash in the upper display. If the pedals are not moved for about five minutes, the console will turn off and the displays will be reset. 12
