DIAGRAM OF THE CONSOLE Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it. DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE The innovative console offers a manual mode and three pacer programs. The pacer programs are designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by pacing your exercise. The programs include an 18 MPH/90 RPM program, a 12 MPH/60 RPM program, and a 6 MPH/30 RPM program. The console also features five monitor modes that provide continuous exercise feedback. Note: On some consoles the programs are listed in MPH and on others in RPM. Both sets of programs are identical. HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE When you use a pacer program, an Actual Target indicator will light Pace Pace on each track of the P.A.C.E.R. display. The outer track shows a tar- get pace; the inner track will show your actual pace. The target pace will change periodically during the 18 MPH/90 RPM and 12 MPH/60 RPM programs; as the target pace changes, simply adjust your pace to keep both indica- tors even. 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. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. The graphs on the left side of the console show how the target pace will change during each program (see the drawing above). Each graph is divided into ten columns, and each column represents 1/10 of a mile. The bars in each column show what the target pace will be during that 1/10 of a mile. For example, in the first column of the 12 MPH/60 RPM graph, there is one bar. This shows that during the first 1/10 of a mile in this program, the target pace will be 6 MPH (30 RPM). In the second column, there are two bars, indicating that the pace is now 12 MPH (60 RPM). DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES The five monitor modes provide continuous exercise feedback. The modes are described below. ¥ SpeedÑThis mode shows your pace, in miles per hour. ¥ TimeÑThis mode counts the length of time you have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause. 9
