HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM

Press any button on the console or begin

pedaling to turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 11.

Select one of the eight preset programs.

To select one of the

eight preset pro-

grams, press the

Resistance/Pace

Programs button

repeatedly until

“P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,”

“P 4,” “P 5,”

“P 6,” “P 7,” or “P 8” appears in the

upper display.

When a preset program is selected, a profile of

the resistance settings of the program will scroll

across the matrix and the maximum resistance

setting of the program will flash in the lower dis-

play. A few seconds after a program is selected,

the upper display will show how long the program

will last.

Press the Start button or begin pedaling to

start the program.

Each program is divided into several one-minute

segments. One resistance setting and one pace

setting are programmed for each segment. Note:

The same resistance setting and/or pace setting

may be programmed for two or more consecutive

segments.

The resistance

setting for the first

segment will be

shown in the

flashing Current

Segment column

of the matrix. (The

pace settings are not shown in the matrix.) The

resistance settings for the next several segments

will be shown in the columns to the right.

As you exercise, the Target Pace guide will help

you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace

setting for the current segment. When one of the

“Too Slow” indicators lights, increase your pace.

When the one of the “Too Fast” indicators lights,

decrease your pace. When the “On Pace” indica-

tor lights, maintain your current pace.

Important: The pace settings are intended

only to provide motivation. Your actual pace

may be slower than the pace settings. Make

sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable

for you.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, both the Current Segment

column and the column to the right will flash, a

series of tones will sound, and

all resistance set-

tings will move one column to the left.

The resis-

tance setting for the second segment will then be

shown in the flashing Current Segment column,

and the resistance of the pedals will change to the

resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If

all of the indicators in the Current Segment col-

umn are lit after the resistance settings have

moved to the left,

the resistance settings may

move downward

so only the highest indicators

appear in the matrix.

The program will continue until the resistance

setting for the last segment is shown in the

Current Segment column and the last segment

ends.

Note: During the program, you can override the

resistance setting for the current segment, if

desired, by pressing the 1 Step Resistance but-

tons. However, when the next segment begins,

the resistance will change if a different resistance

setting is programmed for the next segment. In

addition, you can change the angle of the ramp,

if desired, by pressing the 1 Step Ramp buttons.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone

will sound and the program will pause. To restart

the program, simply resume pedaling.
