Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of measurement is selected, you must select the console's user mode. Hold down the Program Select button for about three seconds. The letter "E" for English miles or the letter "M" for metric kilometers will appear in the upper display. To change the unit of measurement, press the + button. While the user mode is selected, press the left Mode button. The upper display will then show the total number of hours that the exercise cycle has been used. Press the left Mode button again. The upper display will then show the total number of miles pedaled. To exit the user mode, press the Program Select button again. 5 Measure your heart rate if desired. You can measure your heart rate using either the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console may not display your heart rate accurately. If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal con- tacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the Contacts plastic. To measure your heart rate, hold the contacts; your palms must be resting on the contacts closest to you, and your fingers must be touching the opposite contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the Heart Rate indicator above the lower display will light, one or two dashes (- -) will appear in the lower display, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the pulse sensor, the lower display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other modes. If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving your hands excessively or squeezing the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. 6 Turn on the fan if desired. To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Low button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the High button. To turn off the fan, press the Off button. Note: The fan will operate only while you are pedaling. 7 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. If the pedals are not moved for several seconds, a tone will sound, the console will pause, and the upper display will begin to flash. If the pedals are not moved for up to one minute, the matrix and the displays will darken; however, the displays will not be reset. If the pedals are not moved for about five minutes, the console will turn off and the displays will be reset. 11
