HOW TO USE A PULSE CONTROL PROGRAM
1. Press the Resistance decrease button or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after the console is turned on, the dis-
play will light.
2. Select one of the pulse control programs.
Press the Programs
button repeatedly until
“P 1” or “P 2” appears
in the right side of the
display.
If pulse control pro-
gram 1 is selected,
a
profile of the target
heart rate settings for
the program will scroll
across the center of
the display.
If pulse control pro-
gram 2 is selected,
a
pulse symbol will
appear in the center of
the display. Each time
a heartbeat is detected
while you are using the
handgrip pulse sensor, the pulse symbol will reap-
pear.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
If pulse control pro-
gram 1 is selected,
the maximum target
heart rate setting of the
program will flash in
the display. If desired,
press the Resistance
increase and decrease buttons to change the
maximum target heart rate setting
(see EXER-
CISE INTENSITY on page 19).
If you change the
maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity
level of the entire program will change.
If pulse control program 2 is selected,
the tar-
get heart rate setting for the program will flash in
the display. If desired, press the Resistance
increase and decrease buttons to change the tar-
get heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 19).
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during a pulse control program;
however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor 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.
Pulse control program 1
is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate
setting for the first seg-
ment will be shown in
the flashing Current
Segment column in the
center of the display.
The target heart rate
settings for the next four segments will be shown in
the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and
all target heart rate
settings will move one column to the left.
The tar-
get heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.
Pulse control program 2
is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-
ent program before the program ends.
