Enter your age.
You must enter your age to use a heart rate pro-
gram. If you have already entered your age,
press the Enter button and go to step 4. If you
have not entered your age, press the Up Arrow
or Down Arrow button repeatedly to enter your
age, and then press the Enter button. Once you
have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.
Wear the chest pulse sensor or hold the
handgrip pulse sensor.
To use the chest pulse sensor, see page 9.
To use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not neces-
sary to hold the handgrips continuously during
the program. However, you should hold the
handgrips frequently for the program to operate
properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hold-
ing the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in
the right side of the display instead of your heart
rate.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-
minute segments. (The main display will show
both the time remaining in the program and the
time remaining in the current segment of the pro-
gram.) One resistance setting is programmed for
each segment. (The same resistance setting may
be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.)
At the end of each segment, a series of tones will
sound. The resistance of the pedals will then
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis-
tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the
resistance by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next seg-
ment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your heart rate near the current tar-
get heart rate for the program. The lit indicators
in the bar will show your actual pace. When you
wear the chest pulse sensor or hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, the console will periodically com-
pare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate; if necessary, an indicator in the bar will then
flash to prompt you
to increase or
decrease your
pace to bring your
heart rate closer to
the current target
heart rate. If an
indicator to the
right of the lit indi-
cators is flashing
(see drawing a),
increase your
pace. If an indica-
tor to the left of
any lit indicator is
flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace.
When no indicator is flashing, your heart rate is
near the current target heart rate. Important:
The target heart rates are intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual heart rate
may be slower than the current target heart
rate. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
The program will continue in this way until the
main display shows that no time remains in the
program.
Note: If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the program will end. Heart
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and
then restarted.
Monitor your progress with the main display.
See step 4 on page 13.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 14.
