FEEDBACK
Your Horizon Fitness upright bike offers two heart rate feedback options. You may choose to use the
heart rate handlebars, or the chest transmitter for a hands free workout. (Elite 3.0B only)
HEART RATE HANDLEBAR
Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars
for your heart rate to register. When griping the handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips
tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the
heart rate handlebars. It is recommended that you hold the handlebars only long enough to see your
heart rate readout on the console. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the
handlebars.
TELEMETRIC CHEST TRANSMITTER
Prior to wearing the chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water.
Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum. Note: The
chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the
chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate
readout.
If you have any problems with the heart rate function please refer to (pages 22 & 23) in the trou-
bleshooting section.
WARNING!
The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of your heart
rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid.

CHOOSING THE LEVEL
Choose the program difficulty level, level 1-10, by pressing the + or - speed buttons. Available only
on certain programs. You may also choose your program level by pressing the numbered quick speed
key that correlates with the program level number. For example, to choose a program level of 5, sim-
ply press quick speed key number 5. Once the program level has been chosen, press the ‘select’ but-
ton. Once in a program, the user may change the difficulty level by pressing the + or - speed keys
or by pressing the quick speed keys.
NOTE:
If one segment is changed, the entire program will in turn
be changed. For example, when in a program, if the user increases the speed 1 mph, all of the
remaining segments will also be increased by 1 mph.
