HOW TO USE RESISTANCE AND PACE
PROGRAMS
Press any button on the console or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the six resistance and pace
programs.
When the power is
turned on, the man-
ual mode will be
selected. To select a
resistance and pace
program, press the
Program Select but-
ton repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,” “P 4,”
“P 5,” or “P 6” appears in the right display.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One resistance setting
and one pace setting are programmed for each
segment. (Note: The same resistance setting
and/or pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.) The resistance set-
ting for the first seg-
ment is shown in the
left column of the
matrix. The resis-
tance settings for
the next five seg-
ments are shown in
the columns to the
right. Note: One bar
in a column represents a resistance setting of
level 1, two bars represent level 2 or 3, three
bars represent level 4 or 5, four bars represent
level 6 or 7, five bars represent level 8 or 9, and
six bars represent level 10.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
When the program is started, the left column of
the matrix will begin to flash, and the exercise
cycle will automatically adjust to the resistance
setting for the first segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
setting for the cur-
rent segment. The
lit indicators in the
bar will show your
actual pace. If an
indicator to the
right of the lit indi-
cators is flashing
(see drawing a),
increase your
pace. If an indica-
tor to the left of
any lit indicator is
flashing (see draw-
ing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is
flashing, your pace matches the pace setting for
the current segment.
Important: The pace set-
tings are intended only to provide motivation.
Your actual pace may be slower than the cur-
rent pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
When the first segment of the program ends, a
series of tones will sound and all resistance set-
tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the left column of the matrix and the
resistance of the exercise cycle will automatically
change to the resistance setting for the second
segment.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting, if desired, by pressing the
Resistance buttons. However, when the next
segment begins, the resistance will change if a
different resistance setting is programmed for the
next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling. The pro-
gram will continue until the resistance setting for
the last segment is shown in the left column of
the matrix and the last segment ends.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 4 on page 12.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
