HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM 1. Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 16. 2. Select a preset program. To select a preset program, press one of the Quick Programs buttons numbered 3 through 12. When a preset program is selected, a profile of the resistance settings of the program will scroll across the matrix, the program time will appear in the Time display, the maximum pace setting of the program will flash in the Steps-Step/Min. display for a few seconds, and the maximum resistance setting of the program will flash in the Resistance display. 3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to start the program. Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 oneminute segments. One resistance setting and one target pace setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or target pace setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. When you start the program, the resistance setting for the Current Segment first segment will be shown in the flash- ing current segment column of the matrix. The resis- tance settings for the next twelve seg- ments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the current segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. When the first segment ends, all resistance settings will move one column to the left. The resistance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing current segment column and the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the second segment. 4. Adjust the intensity level of the program if desired. To increase or decrease the intensity level of the program, press the increase and decrease buttons above the Adjust Intensity indicator. If you change the intensity level, the profile in the matrix will show the new resistance settings. 5. Use the pace guide to pace your exercise. Throughout the pro- gram, the pace guide will prompt Pace Guide you to increase or decrease your ped- aling pace. When one of the indicators on the left side of the pace guide lights, increase your pace; when one of the indicators on the right side lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace. IMPORTANT: The pace guide is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. 6. Monitor your progress with the displays. See step 4 on page 16. 7. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 17. 8. Turn on the fans if desired. See step 6 on page 17. 9. When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. See step 7 on page 17. The program will continue until no time remains in the Time display. 18
