HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM 1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. A moment after you begin pedaling or press a button, the screen will light. 2. Select a preset program. To select one of the 20 preset programs, press the Aerobic Performance button, the Aerobic Fitness button, or the Weight Loss button repeatedly until the desired program appears on the screen. When a pre- set program is selected, a diagram of the resistance settings for Arrow Diagram the program will appear on the screen. The arrow below the diagram will indicate your progress during the program. In addition, the screen will show the total program time, the maximum pace setting for the program, and the maximum resistance setting for the program. 3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to start the program. The pedals will then automatically adjust to the resistance level for the second segment. As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment. When the color of the RPM display on the screen is white or blue, increase your pace. When the RPM display is yellow or pink, decrease your pace. When the RPM display is green, maintain your current pace. Important: The target pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance buttons. However, when the current segment of the program ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level for the next segment. The program will continue in this way until the arrow reaches the right end of the diagram. To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will flash in the display to indicate that the program is paused. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. 4. Follow your progress with the display. Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 oneminute segments. One resistance level and one target pace setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance and/or target pace setting may be programmed for consecutive segments. The resistance level for the current segment will be indicated by the height of the diagram above the arrow. See step 4 on page 15. 5. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 16. 6. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, a series of tones will sound. If the resistance is about to change, the resistance level will appear on the screen to alert you. When the first segment ends, the arrow below the diagram will move one position to the right. See step 6 on page 16. 17
