Introduction

To use the Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System:
1. Switch to any screen that shows Pulse.
2. Grab the pulse grips. When you place your hands on the
grips the display flashes. The pulse will “beat” briefly and
then display your heart rate. Your heart rate will be
continuously monitored while your hands remain on the
grips.
The HRC programs make speed and effort adjustments to
maintain your target heart rate while your hands remain on the
grips. If you remove your hands the HRC programs will not
change speed or effort until you place your hands on the grips.
Note:
If you are wearing the wireless chest strap, the heart rate
from the pulse grips overrides the wireless signal from the
chest strap while your hands are on the pulse grips. When
you release the grips, the bike uses the wireless chest
strap signal for pulse calculation.

Program Capabilities
The bike has the following program capabilities:
•
Built-in Programs:
You enter the program’s maximum time
and effort. There are 8 Built-In Programs; see page 38.
•
User-Defined Programs:
A User-Defined Program looks
and runs exactly like a Built-In Program. The primary
difference between Built-In and User-Defined Programs is
customization. User-Defined Programs allow you to manually
edit individual segments. Up to 5 User Programs may be set;
see page 40.
•
Specific Goal Programs:
The numeric keypad is used to
enter Time, Calorie and Distance. Goal Programs. See
page 43.
•
Heart Rate Control (HRC) Programs:
The heart rate
program will automatically vary the effort based upon your
target heart rate. This target training maximizes your workout
performance while minimizing your workout time. See
page 44.
