Turn on the console.
Note: The console requires four 1.5V “D” batteries
(see assembly step 9 on page 8).
To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button
or begin pedalling. (See the drawing on page 10
to identify the On/Reset button.)
Select the manual mode.
Each time the console is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected. If
a program has been
selected, select the man-
ual mode by pressing the
Program button repeated-
ly until the letters RPM
appear in the small display.
Begin pedalling and change the resistance of
the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the ped-
als by pressing the + and – buttons below the
large display. There are ten resistance levels—
level 10 is the most challenging. Note: After the
buttons are pressed, it will take a few seconds for
the resistance to reach the selected setting.
Follow your progress with small display and
the large display.
The small display will
show your pedalling
pace, in revolutions per
minute (RPM). The indi-
cator bar in the small dis-
play will increase or
decrease in length as you
increase or decrease
your pedalling pace.
The upper sec-
tion of the
large display
will show the
distance you
have pedalled
and the numbers of calories and fat calories you
have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 21 for
an explanation of fat calories). The display will
change from one number to the next every few
seconds. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor,
the display will also show your heart rate (see
step 5 on page 12).
To view only the distance
you have pedalled or the
number of calories or fat
calories you have burned,
press the upper button on
the left side of the large
display until only the word
DISTANCE, CALORIES, or
FAT CALORIES appears in the upper section of
the large display. Make sure that the word SCAN
does not appear. To again view the distance you
have pedalled and the numbers of calories and
fat calories you have burned, press the upper
button until the word SCAN reappears.
The centre of
the large display
will show the
elapsed time and
your current pace
(pace is shown in
minutes per mile). The display will change from
one number to the other every few seconds.
Note: When a program is selected (except for the
Self Select program), the display will show the
time remaining in the program instead of the
elapsed time.
To view only the elapsed time or your pace, press
the centre button on the left side of the large dis-
play until only the word TIME or PACE appears.
Make sure that the word SCAN does not appear.
To view both the elapsed time and your pace,
press the centre button until the word SCAN
reappears.
The lower sec-
tion of the large
display will show
your pedalling
speed and the
resistance level.
The display will change from one number to the
other every few seconds.
To view only your pedalling speed or the resis-
tance level, press the lower button on the left
side of the large display until only the word
SPEED or RESISTANCE appears. Make sure
that the word SCAN does not appear. To view
both your pedalling speed and the resistance
level, press the lower button until the word SCAN
reappears.

Heart Rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 195 beats per minute.) Heart Rate program 2 is
designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
Select one of the Heart Rate programs.
Each time the console is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected. To
select a Heart Rate pro-
gram, press the Program
button repeatedly until the
number 1 or 2 appears in
the small display.
Enter your age or a target heart rate.
If program 1 is selected, the word AGE will
appear in the large display and the current age
setting will flash. If you have already entered your
age, press the Enter button. If you have not
entered your age, press the small + and – buttons
to enter your age. Then, press the Enter button.
Once you have entered your age, it will be saved
in memory until the batteries are replaced.
If program 2 is selected, the letters PLS (pulse)
will appear in the large display and the current
target heart rate will flash. If you do not wish to
change the target heart rate, press the Enter but-
ton. If you wish to change the target heart rate,
press the small + and – buttons. Then, press the
Enter button. The target heart rate can be from 70
to 170 beats per minute.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrips continu-
ously during a Heart Rate program; however, you
must hold the handgrips frequently for the program
to operate properly.
Each time you hold the
handgrips, keep your hands on the metal con-
tacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you
are not holding the handgrips, the letters PLS will
appear in the large display instead of your heart
rate.
Begin pedalling to start the program.
To start the program, simply begin pedalling.
Program 1 consists of 20 one-minute periods.
One resistance level and one target heart rate are
programmed for each period. (The same resis-
tance level and/or target heart rate may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive periods.)
Program 2 is sixty minutes long (you may choose
to use only part of the program). The same resis-
tance level and target heart rate are programmed
for the entire program.
If program 1 is selected, the resistance of the
pedals will periodically change. (Note: If the resis-
tance level is too high or too low, you can change
it by pressing the + and – buttons below the large
display. However, when the current period is com-
pleted, the resistance of the pedals may automati-
cally change.)
If program 2 is selected, the
resistance of the pedals will not change. Note:
You can change the resistance level for the entire
program by pressing the + and – buttons below
the large display if desired.
During programs
1 and 2, the
arrows in the
small display will
help you to keep
your heart rate
near the current
target heart rate.
When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the
console will compare your heart rate to the cur-
rent target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far
above or below the target heart rate, the number
of arrows in the small display will change to
prompt you to increase or decrease your pace.
When the number of arrows changes, change
your pace until there is one segment of the indi-
cator bar at the tip of each arrow.
Important: The
target pace is intended only to provide a goal.
Your actual pace may be slower than the tar-
get pace, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Make sure
to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
