HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM
1. Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press any button or begin
pedaling. The display will light and the console will
be ready for use.
2. Select a smart program.
To select a smart pro-
gram, press one of the
four Smart Programs
buttons. When a smart
program is selected,
the first section of the
display will show how long the program will last. A
few seconds later, the maximum resistance level
for the program will appear in the display.
3. Start the program.
To start the program, press the Start
Program/Reset button and begin pedaling.
Each program is divided into 20 one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one pace setting
are programmed for each segment. Note: The
same resistance level and/or pace setting may be
programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.
Whenever the resistance is about to change, the
resistance level will flash in the display for a few
seconds. The resistance of the pedals will then
automatically change to the resistance level pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis-
tance level is too low or too high, you can override
it by pressing the Resistance Increase and
Decrease buttons. However, when the current seg-
ment ends, the resistance will automatically
change to the resistance level programmed for the
next segment.
As you exercise, the
display will prompt you
to keep your pedaling
pace near the pace
setting for the current
segment. When the
word “faster” appears in the display, increase your
pace. When the word “slower” appears, decrease
your pace. When the center of the target flashes,
maintain your current pace.
Important: The pace settings are intended only
to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be
slower than the pace settings. Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, the time
will begin to flash in the display. To restart the pro-
gram, simply resume pedaling.
The program will continue until the display shows
a time of 0:00. If you continue to pedal after the
program is completed, the display will continue to
show exercise feedback; however, the display will
not show the elapsed time until you select the
manual mode or a new program.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 12.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 12.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
