Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 13)
or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently for the program to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
instead of your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and
one heart rate setting are programmed for each
segment. (The same resistance setting and/or
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.)
The resistance
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. The
resistance settings
for the next several 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 resistance set-
tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column
and the resistance of the exercise cycle will auto-
matically adjust to the resistance setting for the
second segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
in the bar will show your actual pace. When you
hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor, the console will peri-
odically compare
your heart rate to
the heart rate set-
ting for the current
segment; if neces-
sary, an indicator
in the bar will then
flash to prompt you
to increase or
decrease your
pace to bring your
heart rate closer to
the current heart
rate setting. If an indicator to the
right of the lit
indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase
your pace. If an indicator to the
left of any lit indi-
cator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your
pace. When no indicator is flashing, your heart
rate is near the current heart rate setting.
Important: The heart rate settings are intend-
ed only to provide motivation. Your actual
heart rate may be slower than the current
heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue until the resistance set-
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and no time
remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the
resistance setting 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.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 4 on page 12.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 13.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 14.
