Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

To use a heart rate program, you must use the

handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11) or

the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the

handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold

the handgrips continuously during the program.

However, you should hold the handgrips fre-

quently for the program to operate properly.

Each

time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands

on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.

Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,

the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display

instead of your heart rate.

Press the Program Start button or begin

pedaling to start the program.

Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-

minute segments. One resistance setting and

one heart rate setting are programmed for each

segment. (The same resistance setting and/or

heart rate setting may be programmed for two or

more consecutive segments.)

The resistance

setting for the first

segment will be

shown in the flash-

ing Current

Segment column

of the matrix. The

resistance settings

for the next several segments will be shown in the

columns to the right.

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 resistance set-

tings will move one column to the left.

The resis-

tance setting for the second segment will then be

shown in the flashing Current Segment column

and the resistance of the exercise cycle will auto-

matically adjust to the resistance setting for the

second segment.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help

you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate

setting for the current segment. The lit indicators

in the bar will show your actual pace. When you

hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the

optional chest pulse sensor, the console will peri-

odically compare

your heart rate to

the heart rate set-

ting for the current

segment; if neces-

sary, an indicator

in the bar will then

flash to prompt you

to increase or

decrease your

pace to bring your

heart rate closer to

the current heart

rate setting. If an indicator to the

right

of the lit

indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase

your pace. If an indicator to the

left

of any lit indi-

cator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your

pace. When no indicator is flashing, your heart

rate is near the current heart rate setting.

Important: The heart rate settings are intend-

ed only to provide motivation. Your actual

heart rate may be slower than the current

heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise at a

pace that is comfortable for you.

The program will continue until the resistance set-

ting 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 manually over-

ride the resistance setting for the current seg-

ment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons.

However, when the next segment begins, the

exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the

resistance setting for the next segment. If you

stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will

sound and the program will pause. To restart the

program, simply resume pedaling.

Monitor your progress with the two displays.

See step 4 on page 10.

Turn on the fan if desired.


When the program is finished, the console

will automatically turn off.
