5. Begin pedaling to start the program. Each heart rate program is divided into 20 or 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. The target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing segment of the display. The height of the flashing segment indicates the target heart rate setting for the current segment. At the end of each segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a different target heart rate setting is programmed for the next segment, the target heart rate will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. If the resistance setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the decrease and increase buttons; however, if you change the resistance settings, you might not maintain the target heart rate. Also, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals may automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. The program will continue in this way until the last segment ends. To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. 6. Follow your progress with the display. As you pedal, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. You will also be prompted to pedal at a steady pace. When an upward arrow appears in the display, increase your pace. When a downward arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace. When no arrow appears in the display, maintain your current pace. Important: Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. See step 4 on page 11. 7. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 12. 8. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically. See step 6 on page 12. 14
