HOW TO USE A PULSE CONTROL PROGRAM 1 Press the Resistance decrease button or begin pedaling to turn on the console. A moment after the console is turned on, the display will light. 2 Select one of the pulse control programs. Press the Programs button repeatedly until "P 1" or "P 2" appears in the right side of the display. If pulse control program 1 is selected, a profile of the target heart rate settings of the program will scroll across the center of the display. If pulse control program 2 is selected, a pulse symbol will appear in the center of the display. Each time a heartbeat is detected while you are using the handgrip pulse sensor, the pulse symbol will reappear. 3 Enter a target heart rate setting. If pulse control program 1 is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting of the program will flash in the display. If desired, press the Resistance increase and decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 19). If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire program will change. If pulse control program 2 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the display. If desired, press the Resistance increase and decrease buttons to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 19). 4 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor. It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a pulse control program; however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. 5 Begin pedaling to start the program. Pulse control program 1 is divided into 30 oneminute 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 Current Segment segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment col- umn in the center of the display. The target heart rate settings for the next four segments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column. Pulse control program 2 is divided into 40 oneminute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different program before the program ends. 15
