HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE 1 Begin pedaling to activate the console. The exercise cycle requires no batteries or external power source. Power is supplied to the exercise cycle by a generator while you are pedaling. To activate the console, begin pedaling at a speed of about 3 miles per hour or faster. After a few seconds, the console displays will light. A tone will then sound and the console will be ready for use. 2 Select the manual mode. When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. If you have selected a program or the iFIT.com mode, select the manual mode by pressing the Program Select button repeatedly until a track appears in the matrix. 3 Begin pedaling and change the resistance of the pedals as desired. As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals by pressing the Resistance buttons. There are ten resistance levels. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the selected resistance level. Make sure to continue pedaling while changing the resistance. 4 Monitor your progress with the matrix and the two displays. The matrix- When the manual mode is selected, the matrix will show a track representing 1/4 mile. As you exercise, the indicators around the track will light, one at a time, until the entire track is lit. The track will then darken and a new lap will begin. The upper display-The upper display will show the elapsed time, the resistance level of the pedals, your pedaling speed, and your pedaling pace (measured in minutes per mile). The display will change from one number to the next every few seconds, as shown by the indicators around the display. Note: When a program is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time. If desired, you can select a single mode for continuous display. Press the left Mode button repeatedly until the desired mode indicator is lit; make sure that the Scan indicator is not lit. The lower display-The lower display will show the distance that you have pedaled and the approximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 21). The display will change from one number to the next every few seconds, as shown by the indicators around the display. The display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: Each time the resistance of the pedals changes, the display will show the resistance level. If desired, you can select a single mode for continuous display. Press the right Mode button repeatedly until the desired mode indicator is lit; make sure that the Scan indicator is not lit. 10
