Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11) or
the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently 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 holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
instead of your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and
one heart rate setting are programmed for each
segment. (The same resistance setting and/or
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.)
The resistance
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. The
resistance settings
for the next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment, both the Current Segment column and the
column to the right will flash, a series of tones will
sound, and all resistance settings will move one
column to the left. The resistance setting for the
second segment will then be shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment column and the resistance
of the exercise cycle will automatically adjust to
the resistance setting for the second segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
in the bar will show your actual pace. When you
hold the handgrip pulse sensor (or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor), the console will
periodically compare your heart rate to the heart
rate setting for the
current segment; if
necessary, an indi-
cator in the bar will
then flash to
prompt you to
increase or
decrease your
pace to bring your
heart rate closer to
the current heart
rate setting. If an
indicator to the
right of the lit indicators is flashing (see drawing
a), increase your pace. If an indicator to the left
of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b),
decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash-
ing, your heart rate is near the current heart rate
setting. Important: The heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual heart rate may be slower than the cur-
rent heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise
at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue until the resistance set-
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and no time
remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the
resistance setting 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.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 4 on page 10.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 11.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 11.
