STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ bat-
teries must be installed.
(See assembly step 11 on
page 7 for installation instructions.) Follow the steps
below to operate the console.
Turn on the power
To turn on the
power, press the
on/reset button or
simply begin exer-
cising. When the
power is turned on,
the entire display
will appear for two seconds. The console will then
be ready for use. Note: If batteries were just
installed, the power will already be on.
Select one of the three pacer programs or the
manual mode
When the power is
first turned on, the
console will be in
the manual mode.
To select one of the
pacer programs,
repeatedly press
the program button.
The program indi-
cator will show
which program you
have selected. The
programs will be selected in the following order:
the manual mode, the 6 MPH/30 RPM program,
the 12 MPH/60 RPM program, and the 18 MPH/
90 RPM program. Note: Once you select a pacer
program, you can reselect the manual mode by
repeatedly pressing the program button.
Begin your workout
If you selected the manual mode, one indicator on
the inner P.A.C.E.R. track will light. As you exer-
cise, this indicator will move around the quarter-
mile track.
If you selected a
pacer program, two
indicators on the
P.A.C.E.R. track will
light. The indicator
on the inner track
will show your actual
pace. The indicator
on the outer track
will move around the track at the programmed
pace. As you exercise, adjust your pace so that
the indicators on the inner and outer tracks
remain even. As the program progresses, the tar-
get pace will change periodically; as the target
pace changes, you should also adjust your pace.
Important: The target pace is a
goal
pace. Your
actual pace may be slower than the target
pace, especially during the first few months of
your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at
a pace that is comfortable for you.
Follow your progress with the monitor modes
When the power is
turned on, the con-
sole will scan
through the five
modes automatically.
A flashing mode indi-
cator will show which
mode is currently dis-
played. When the Laps mode is displayed, an ÒLÓ
will also appear. If desired, the display can be
reset by pressing the on/reset button.
The PROFORM
¨
975s also features
an innovative hand-
grip pulse sensor.
The pulse display
allows you to monitor
your heart rate during your workout. To use the
pulse sensor, see page 11.
Turn off the power
To turn off the power, simply wait for about six
minutes.
If the pedals are not moved and the
console buttons are not pressed for six minutes,
the power will turn off automatically.
