HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the screen will light.
2. Select a preset program.
To select one of the 20 preset programs, press the
Aerobic Performance button, the Aerobic Fitness
button, or the Weight Loss button repeatedly until
the desired program appears on the screen. When
a preset program is selected, a diagram of the
resistance set-
tings for the
program will
appear on the
screen. The
arrow below the
diagram will
indicate your
progress during the program. In addition, the
screen will show the total program time, the maxi-
mum pace setting for the program, and the maxi-
mum resistance setting for the program.
3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance and/or target
pace setting may be programmed for consecutive
segments. The resistance level for the current seg-
ment will be indicated by the height of the diagram
above the arrow.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound.
If the resistance is about to change, the resistance
level will appear on the screen to alert you. When
the first segment ends, the arrow below the dia-
gram will move one position to the right.
The pedals will then automatically adjust to the
resistance level for the second segment.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for
the current segment. When the color of the RPM
display on the screen is white or blue, increase
your pace. When the RPM display is yellow or
pink, decrease your pace. When the RPM display
is green, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target pace settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target pace set-
ting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance but-
tons. However, when the current segment of the
program ends, the pedals will automatically adjust
to the resistance level for the next segment.
The program will continue in this way until the
arrow reaches the right end of the diagram. To
stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. A
tone will sound and the time will flash in the dis-
play to indicate that the program is paused. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 15.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 16.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 16.
