To reset the displays, press the On/Reset button. Note: The console can show speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. The letters MPH or KM/H will appear in the lower section of the large display to show which system of measurement is selected. To change the system of measurement, hold down the On/Reset button for about six seconds. Note: When the button is held down, the fan will turn on for a moment. When the batteries are replaced, it may be necessary to reselect the desired system of measurement. 5 Measure your heart rate if desired. If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrips, peel off Metal Contacts the plastic. To use the hand- grip pulse sen- sor, hold the handgrips with your palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the heart- shaped indicator in the large display will flash each time your heart beats. After a moment, two dashes (- -) will appear and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrips for about 30 seconds. Note: When you first hold the handgrips, the large display will show your heart rate continuously for 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with other feedback modes. 6 Turn on the fan if desired. To turn on the fan at low speed, press the fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the fan button a second Fan Button Thumb Wheel time. To turn off the fan, press the fan button a third time. Note: If the fan is turned on and the pedals are not moved for about half a minute, the fan will turn off to conserve the batteries. Rotate the thumb wheel on the right side of the console to pivot the fan to the desired angle. 7 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, the displays will pause and the time will flash in the large display. If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for a few minutes, the console will turn off to conserve the batteries. HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM Each Smart program will automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective workout. Programs 1 and 2 are weight loss programs, programs 3 and 4 are aerobic programs, and programs 5 and 6 are high-performance programs. Follow the steps below to use a Smart program. 1 Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 11. 2 Select one of the Smart programs. Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a Smart program, press the Program button repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 appears in the small display. 3 Begin pedaling to start the program. To start the program, simply begin pedaling. Each Smart program consists of 20 or 30 one-minute periods. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each period. (The same resistance level and/or target pace may be programmed for two or more consecutive periods.) At the end of each period of the program, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next period. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can change it by pressing the + and - buttons below the large display. However, when the current period is completed, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next period. The target pace for the current period will be shown by the Indicator Bar arrows in the small display. To Arrows pedal at the target pace, simply increase or decrease your pace until one seg- ment of the indicator bar appears at the tip of each arrow (see the drawing above). At the end of each period, the number of arrows will change if a different target pace is programmed for the next period. When the number of arrows changes, change your pace until there is again one segment of the indicator bar at the tip of each arrow. Important: The target pace is intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially dur- ing the first few months of your exercise pro- gram. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. During the program, the centre of the large display will show the time remaining in the program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the displays will pause and the time will flash. If you continue pedaling after the program is completed, the displays will continue to show exercise feedback. 4 Follow your progress with the large display. See step 4 on page 11. 5 Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 12. 6 Turn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 12. 7 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. See step 7 on page 12. 12 13
