HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
For effective exer-
cise, the Seat (8)
should be at the
proper height; as
you pedal, there
should be a slight
bend in your knees
when the pedals
are at the lowest
position. To adjust
the Seat, first turn
the Seat Knob (3)
counterclockwise
several turns to loosen it. Next, pull back the Seat
Knob, slide the Seat Post (9) to the desired height,
and release the Seat Knob.
Move the Seat Post up
or down slightly until it locks into place.
Turn the
Seat Knob clockwise to tighten it.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALLING RESISTANCE
To vary the intensi-
ty of your exercise,
the resistance of
the pedals can be
changed with the
Resistance Knob
(6). The arrows to
the left of the Knob
show which direc-
tion the Knob must
be turned to
increase or decrease the resistance. As the resistance
is changed, the green and red indicator between the
arrows will also change.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To adjust each
Pedal Strap (45),
pull the Pedal
Strap off the tab
on the pedal. Align
the desired hole in
the Pedal Strap
with the tab and
press the Pedal
Strap back onto the tab.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative
console offers a
manual mode
and three pacer
programs. The
pacer programs
are designed to
help you achieve
specific exercise
goals by pacing
your exercise.
You can choose
from a stamina-
building Interval
program, an
Aerobic program,
and a special Fat
Burn program. As
you exercise, seven monitor modes will provide con-
tinuous exercise feedback. The monitor modes are
described below:
SpeedÑThis mode shows your pedalling pace,
in kilometres or miles per hour (see HOW TO
SELECT KILOMETRES OR MILES on page 10).
TimeÑIf you select the manual mode, this mode
will show the elapsed time. If you select one of
the three pacer programs, this mode will count
down the time remaining in the program.
DistanceÑThis mode shows the distance you have
pedalled, in kilometres or miles.
LapÑThis mode shows the number of laps you
have completed. One lap equals 0.25 kilometres
or miles.
CalorieÑThis mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
ScanÑThis mode displays the above five modes,
for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
PulseÑThis mode shows your heart rate when
the pulse monitor is used. (See HOW TO USE
THE PULSE MONITOR on page 11.)

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program, two
columns of bars
will appear in the
display. The left
column represents
a target pace, and
the right column
shows your actual
pedalling pace. The target pace will change periodi-
cally during the program; as the target pace changes,
simply adjust your pedalling pace to keep both
columns at the same height.
Important: The target
pace is a
goal
pace. Your actual pace may be slow-
er than the target pace, especially during the first
few months of your exercise program. Be sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The three graphs
on the console
show how the tar-
get pace will
change during the
programs. Each
graph is divided
into ten columns of bars. Each column represents a
two-minute period, and each bar represents a target
pace of 5 mph (8 kph). In graph P1, for example, there
is one bar in the farthest left column. This shows that
during the first two minutes of program P1, the target
pace will be 5 mph (8 kph). In the second column
there are five bars. This shows that during the second
two-minute period, the target pace will be 25 mph (40
kph). Each program will last for twenty minutes.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before the console can be operated, a battery
must be installed.
(See assembly step 1 on page 5.)
Follow the steps below to operate the console.
Turn on the power
To turn on the
power, press
the on/reset
button or
simply begin
pedalling. The
entire display
will appear for two seconds; the console will then
be ready for use. Note: If a battery was just
installed, the power will already be on.
Select one of the three pacer programs or the
manual mode
To select one of
the pacer
programs,
repeatedly press
the program
button. The pro-
gram indicator
will show which
program you
have selected.
To select the
manual mode, press the program button until the
program indicator disappears. The programs will
be selected in the following order: program 1
(Interval), program 2 (Aerobic), program 3 (Fat
Burn), manual mode.
Begin your workout
If you selected
the manual
mode, go to
step 4.
If you
selected one of
the pacer pro-
grams, two
columns of bars
will appear in
the display. The left column will show one bar,
showing that the target pace is 5 mph (8 kph).
The right column will show your actual pedalling
pace. Adjust your pedalling pace until only one
bar appears in the right column. Each time the
target pace changes during the program, adjust
your pedalling pace to keep both columns at the
same height.
Follow your progress with the LED track and
the seven monitor modes
The LED
track
ÑThe
LED track rep-
resents a dis-
tance of 0.25
kilometres or
miles. As you
pedal, the indi-
cators around the track will light one at a time until
you have completed one lap. A new lap will then
begin.
