HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Press any button on the console or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the heart rate programs, press
the Heart Rate Programs button repeatedly until
the words HEART RATE 1 or HEART RATE 2
appear in the display.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after you select a heart rate pro-
gram, the words ENTER HEART RATE will
appear in the display and the number 110 will
begin to flash.
During heart rate program 1, the same target
heart rate setting will be programmed for all seg-
ments of the program. If you have selected heart
rate program 1, press the increase and decrease
buttons below the Odometer button to enter the
desired target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 17).
During heart rate program 2, different target
heart rate settings will be programmed for differ-
ent segments of the program. If you have select-
ed heart rate program 2, press the increase and
decrease buttons below the Odometer button to
enter the desired maximum target heart rate set-
ting for the program (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 17).
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during heart rate programs;
however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor frequently for the programs to operate proper-
ly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, keep your hands on the metal contacts
for at least 30 seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout,
stop exercising or select a different program
before the program ends.
Heart rate program 2 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
consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile in the
display will show your progress. The flashing col-
umn of the profile represents the current segment
of the program. The height of the flashing column
indicates the target heart rate setting for the cur-
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the
program, a series of tones will sound and the
next segment of the profile will begin to flash.
During both programs, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting for the current segment of the program. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the tar-
get heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals
will automatically increase or decrease to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set-
ting. Each time the resistance changes, the resis-
tance setting will appear in the display for a few
seconds to alert you.
While you exercise, you will be prompted to
maintain a constant pedaling pace. If an upward-
pointing arrow appears in the display (see the
drawing above), increase your pace. If a down-
ward-pointing arrow appears, decrease your
pace. When no arrow appears, maintain your cur-
rent pace.
If the resistance setting 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 console compares
your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
resistance of the pedals may automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting.
