HOW TO USE RESISTANCE AND PACE

PROGRAMS

Begin pedaling to activate the console.

See step 1 on page 12.

Select one of the six resistance and pace

programs.

When the power is

turned on, the

manual mode will

be selected. To

select a resistance

and pace program,

press the Program

Select button repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,”

“P 4,” “P 5,” or “P 6” appears in the right display.

When a resistance and pace program is selected,

the matrix will show the first seven pace settings

for the program. The left display will show how

long the program will last.

Press the Program Start button or begin

pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into several time seg-

ments of different lengths. One pace setting and

one resistance setting are programmed for each

segment. (The same pace setting and/or resis-

tance setting may be programmed for two or more

consecutive segments.)

The pace setting

for the first seg-

ment will be

shown in the flash-

ing Current

Segment column

of the matrix. (The

resistance settings

are not shown in the matrix.) The pace settings

for the next several segments will be shown in the

columns to the right.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help

you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace

setting for the current segment. The lit indicators

in the bar will show

your actual pace. If

an indicator to the

right

of the lit indi-

cators is flashing

(see drawing a),

increase your pace.

If an indicator to

the

left

of any lit

indicator is flashing

(see drawing b),

decrease your

pace. When no

indicator is flashing, your pace matches the pace

setting for the current segment.

Important: The

pace settings are intended only to provide

motivation. Your actual pace may be slower

than the current pace setting. 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 pace settings

will move one column to the left.

The pace setting

for the second segment will then be shown in the

flashing Current Segment column and the resis-

tance of the exercise cycle will automatically

change to the resistance setting for the second

segment.

Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment

column are lit after the pace settings have moved

to the left,

the pace settings will move downward

so that only the highest indicators appear in the

matrix.

The program will continue until the pace setting

for the last segment is shown in the Current

Segment column of the matrix and no time

remains in the program.

Note: During the program, you can override the

resistance setting for the current segment, if

desired, with the Resistance buttons. However,

when the next segment begins, the resistance

may automatically change to the resistance set-

ting for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for

several seconds, a tone will sound and the pro-

gram will pause. To restart the program, simply

resume pedaling.
