Measure your heart rate if desired.

If there are
sheets of clear
plastic on the
metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the plas-
tic.

To measure

your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor
with your palms resting against the metal con-
tacts. 

Avoid moving your hands or gripping the

contacts too tightly.

When your pulse is detected, one, two, or three
dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will
be shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-
ing, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor, the display will show your heart rate for
up to 30 seconds. 

If the display does not show your heart rate, make
sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For opti-
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using
a soft cloth; 

never use alcohol, abrasives, or

chemicals to clean the contacts.

When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.

If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the console will pause. If the
pedals do not move for several minutes and the
buttons are not pressed, the console will turn off
and the display will be reset.

HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM

Begin pedaling to turn on the console.

A moment after you begin pedaling, the display
will light.

Select a smart program.

To select one of
the eight smart
programs, press
the Smart
Programs button
repeatedly until
Program 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, or 8 appears in the display. The program
time and a profile of the resistance settings for the
program will also appear in the display.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
target rpm (pace) setting are programmed for
each segment. Note: The same resistance and/or
target rpm setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments. 

The resistance setting and the target rpm for the
first segment will appear in the center of the dis-
play for a few seconds. The resistance setting will
also be indicated by the height of the flashing
Current Segment column in the display. The
resistance settings for the next several segments
will appear in the columns to the right. 

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 and
a series of tones will sound. If the resistance
and/or target rpm is about to change, the resis-
tance setting and/or the target rpm setting will
appear in the display to alert you.

When the first segment is completed, 

all resis-

tance settings will move one column to the left

.

The resistance setting for the second segment
will then appear in the flashing Current Segment
column and the pedals will automatically adjust to
the resistance setting for the second segment.
Note: If all the indicators in the Current Segment
column are lit,

the resistance settings may move

downward 

so that only the highest indicators

appear in the matrix.
