HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE AND PACE
PROGRAM
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the resistance and pace
programs.
To select a resis-
tance and pace
program, press the
Resistance
Programs button
repeatedly until
“P 3,” “P 4,” “P 5,”
“P 6,” “P 7,” “P 8,” “P 9,” or “P10” appears in the
right display.
When a resistance and pace program is selected,
a profile of the resistance settings of the program
will scroll across the matrix. The left display will
show the highest resistance level of the program
for a few seconds, and then it will show how long
the program will last.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into either 20 or 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
pace setting are programmed for each segment.
Note: The same resistance setting and/or pace set-
ting may be programmed for two or more consecu-
tive segments.
The resistance
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. (The
pace settings are
not shown in the matrix.) The resistance settings
for the next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right.
As you exercise,
the Target RPM bar
will help you to
keep your pedaling
pace near the pace
setting for the cur-
rent segment.
When one of the “too slow” indicators lights,
increase your pace. When one of the “too fast”
indicators lights, decrease your pace. When one
of the center indicators lights, maintain your cur-
rent pace. Important: The pace settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual pace may be slower than the current
pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and
all resistance set-
tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column
and the resistance of the pedals will automatically
change to the resistance setting for the second
segment.
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment
column are lit after the resistance settings have
moved to the left,
the resistance settings will move
downward so only the highest indicators appear in
the matrix.
The program will continue until the resistance set-
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column and no time remains in the pro-
gram.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, with the Resistance buttons. However,
when the next segment begins, the resistance will
automatically change if a different resistance set-
ting is programmed for the next segment. If you
stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will
sound and the program will pause. To restart the
program, simply resume pedaling.
