HOW TO USE A CUSTOM PROGRAM
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 14.
Select a custom program.
To select a custom program, press the Custom
Programs button repeatedly until the words CUS-
TOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 appear in the display.
When you select a custom program, the name of
the program, the program time, and the maximum
pace and resistance level will appear in the dis-
play for a few seconds. A profile of the resistance
levels of the program will then appear in the dis-
play.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each custom program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance level and/or tar-
get pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress. The flashing segment of the profile
represents the current segment of the program.
The height of the flashing segment indicates the
resistance level for the current segment. At the
end of each segment of the program, a series of
tones will sound and the next segment of the pro-
file will begin to flash. If a different resistance
level is programmed for the next segment, the
resistance level will appear in the display for a
few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the
pedals will then change.
As you exercise, you
will be prompted to
keep your pedaling
pace near the target
pace setting for the
current segment.
When an upward-pointing arrow or the prompt
SPEED UP appears next to the pace information
in the display (see step 4 on page 17), increase
your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or
the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease
your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears,
maintain your current pace.
Important: The tar-
get pace settings are intended only to provide
motivation. Make sure to pedal at a pace that
is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override
the setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the
resistance level for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The
program will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the pro-
gram ends.
Change the program if desired.
If desired, you can change the program while
using it.
To change the resistance level for the
current segment,
simply press the OneTouch
Resistance buttons. At the end of the current seg-
ment, the new resistance level will be stored in
memory.
To change the target pace for the cur-
rent segment,
simply change your pedaling
pace. At the end of the current segment, your
pace will be stored in memory. You can continue
exercising and changing the program for up to
thirty minutes.
