CONSOLE DESCRIPTION

Refer to the drawing on page 10. Note: If there is a

thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the con-

sole, remove it.

A. Exercise feedback display—This display features

seven modes that give you instant exercise feed-

back: your current speed, the elapsed time (or the

time remaining in a Smart program), the distance

that you have pedaled, the resistance level, the

approximate numbers of calories and fat calories

you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 19),

and your heart rate (when you use the handgrip

pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor

[refer to page 18 for information about the chest

pulse sensor]). If the scan mode is selected, the

display will change from one mode to the next

every six seconds. Or, you can select a single mode

for continuous display.

Note: The console can show speed and distance

in either miles or kilometers. To change the unit

of measurement, hold down the On/Reset button

for six seconds. The mode indicators (see E

below) will show which unit of measurement is

selected. When the batteries are replaced, it may

be necessary to reselect the desired unit of

measurement.

B. Increase and decrease arrows—During Smart pro-

grams and iFIT.com programs, these arrows will

prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to

match the target pace.

C. Manual mode/program indicators—When a Smart

program is selected, the upper right corner of the

display will show a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, depend-

ing on which Smart program is selected. When the

iFIT.com mode is selected, the upper right corner

will show the letters IF. When the manual mode is

selected, the upper right corner will be blank.

D. Program profiles—These profiles show how the

resistance of the exercise cycle and the target pace

will change during Smart programs. For example,

profile number 6 shows that during Smart program

6, the resistance will gradually increase during the

first half of the program, and then gradually

decrease during the last half; the target pace will

alternately increase and decrease throughout the

program.

E. Feedback mode indicators—These indicators show

which feedback mode (scan, speed, time, distance,

resistance level, calories, fat calories, or heart rate)

is currently shown. Note: When the distance is

shown, the word Miles or the letters Kms will

appear; when your speed is shown, the letters MPH

or Km/H will appear.

F.

Pace bar graphs—When the manual mode is

selected, only the left bar graph will appear. This

bar graph represents your exercise pace. As you

increase or decrease your pace, additional bars will

appear or disappear in the bar graph. When a Smart

program or the iFIT.com mode is selected, both bar

graphs will appear. The left bar graph will represent

your exercise pace, and the right bar graph will rep-

resent a target pace. During the program, the target

pace will periodically change. As the right bar graph

changes, simply adjust your pace so that the same

number of bars appear in both bar graphs.

Important: The target pace is a

goal

pace. Your

actual pace may be slower than the target pace,

especially during the first few months of your

exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a

pace that is comfortable for you.

G. On/Reset button—When the console is off, pressing

this button will turn on the display. When the console

is on, pressing this button will reset the display.

This button is also used to select the unit of meas-

urement for speed and distance (see A at the left).

H. Display Mode button—This button is used to select

the feedback modes. The modes will be selected in

the following order: scan, speed, time, distance,

resistance level, calories, fat calories, and heart

rate (when the handgrip pulse sensor or the option-

al chest pulse sensor is used).

I.

+ and – buttons—These buttons control the resist-

ance of the exercise cycle. There are ten resistance

levels; level 10 is the most challenging.

J.

Program button—This button is used to select the

manual mode and Smart programs.

K. IFIT.com button—This button is used to select the

iFIT.com mode. The indicator above the button will

light when the iFIT.com mode is selected.
