HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the two heart rate programs,
press the Heart Rate Control Programs button
repeatedly until the words HEART RATE 1 or
HEART RATE 2 appear in the display. The pro-
gram time and a profile of the target heart rate set-
tings for the program will also appear in the dis-
play.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a
heart rate program,
the maximum tar-
get heart rate set-
ting will flash in the
center of the dis-
play. If desired, use
the increase and
decrease buttons to change the maximum target
heart rate setting, and then press the Enter button.
Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate
setting, the intensity level of the entire program will
change.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor (see page 19 for information about
the optional chest pulse sensor). Note: If you hold
the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest
pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not
display your heart rate accurately.
If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not nec-
essary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continu-
ously during a heart rate program; however, you
should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently
for the program to operate properly. Each time
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your
hands on the metal contacts for at least 30
seconds.
5. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into either 20 or
30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for each segment. Note: The
same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment
will be indicated by the height of the flashing seg-
ment of the profile in the display. The target heart
rate settings for the next several segments will be
indicated by the height of the profile to the right of
the flashing segment.
When the first segment of the program ends, the
next segment of the profile will begin to flash. The
target heart rate setting for the next segment will
then be indicated by the height of the flashing seg-
ment of the profile.
