Measure your heart rate if desired

Refer to step 5 on page 10. 

Note: If your heart

rate is not shown, press the reset button to
reset the pulse sensor.

When you are finished exercising, turn off the
power

To turn off the power, simply wait for about
three minutes.

If the pedals are not moved and

the console buttons are not pressed for three
minutes, the power will turn off automatically. 

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM 

Each heart rate program automatically adjusts the
resistance of the pedals to keep your heart rate near a
certain level while you exercise. 

Programs 7 and 8 are low-intensity fat burning pro-
grams. To burn fat, you must exercise at a low intensity
level for a sustained period of time. As you exercise,

pedal at a relatively slow speed

; the resistance of the

pedals will increase or decrease as needed to keep
your heart rate at the proper level. 

Programs 9, 10, and 11 are moderate-intensity aerobic
programs. For aerobic exercise, you must exercise at
a moderate intensity level for a prolonged period of
time. As you exercise, 

pedal at a moderate speed

; the

resistance of the pedals will increase or decrease as
needed to keep your heart rate at the proper level.    

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

Turn on the power

To turn on the power, press any button on the
console. Note: If batteries were just installed, the
power will already be on.

Enter your age into the console

Before you use a
heart rate program,
you must enter your
age into the console.
First, press the age
set button. The let-

ters ÒAGEÓ and the current age setting will appear
at the bottom of the display. Press the resistance
+ or Ð button to enter your age. After you have
entered your age, the display will change back to
the main display in about five seconds.

Select one of the heart rate programs

Each time the power
is turned on, the
manual program will
be selected, as
shown by the ÒP-1Ó in
the display. To select
one of the heart rate programs, press the program
button repeatedly until a ÒP-7,Ó ÒP-8,Ó ÒP-9,Ó ÒP10Ó
or ÒP11Ó appears in the display.

Each heart rate program is designed to keep your
heart rate near a certain 

percentage

of your

maximum heart rate

while you exercise. (Your

maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting
your age from 220. For example, if you are 30
years old, your maximum heart rate is 190.) 

Program 7 (P-7) will keep your heart rate near
50% of your maximum heart rate while you exer-
cise; P-8 will keep your heart rate near 60% of
your maximum heart rate; P-9 will keep your
heart rate near 70% of your maximum heart rate;
P10 will keep your heart rate near 80% of your
maximum heart rate; and P11 will keep your heart
rate near 90% of your maximum heart rate. 

Begin exercising and follow your progress
with the console display

As you exercise, 
follow your progress
with the matrix on
the left side of the
display. During the
first ten seconds of
the program, the first column of the matrix will
flash. After ten seconds, 

the column will move to

the right

and the first column will continue to

flash. At the end of every ten seconds, 

all columns

will move to the right

and the first column will

continue to flash. Note: As the resistance level of
the pedals changes (see step 5 on page 12), the
height of the flashing column will also change. 

In addition to the matrix, the display will show your
pedaling speed, the number of Calories you have
burned, the elapsed time, and your total distance.

Note: When a heart rate program is used, the
resistance buttons will not function.

WARNING: 

The pulse sensor may give read-

cially at fast pedaling speeds.

Stop exercising

and cool down if you feel faint or dizzy.
