HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis-
play will light.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the two heart rate programs,
press the Certified Personal Trainer Programs but-
ton repeatedly until Heart Rate 1 or 2 appears in
the display. The program time and a profile of the
target heart rate settings for the program will also
appear in the display.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a
heart rate program,
the maximum tar-
get heart rate set-
ting will flash in the
center of the dis-
play. If desired, use
the increase and
decrease buttons to change the maximum target
heart rate setting, and then press the Enter button.
Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate
setting, the intensity level of the entire program will
change.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during a heart rate program; how-
ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor
frequently for the program to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.
5. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into either 20
or 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate
setting is programmed for each segment. Note:
The same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment
will be indicated by the height of the flashing col-
umn of the profile in the display. The target heart
rate settings for the next several segments will be
indicated by the heights of the columns to the right
of the flashing column.
When the first segment of the program ends, the
entire profile will shift one column to the left. The
target heart rate setting for the second segment
will then be shown in the flashing column of the
profile.
As you pedal, the console will regularly compare
your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
You will also be
prompted to pedal
at a steady pace.
When an upward
arrow appears in
the display,
increase your pace.
When a downward arrow appears in the display,
decrease your pace. When no arrows appear in
the display, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
Note: You can man-
ually override the resistance settings; however,
you may not maintain the target heart rate. Also,
when the console compares your heart rate to the
target heart rate setting, the resistance of the ped-
als may automatically increase or decrease to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate
setting.
The program will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the program at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the pro-
gram, simply resume pedaling.
6. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 14.
7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 15.
8. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 15.
9. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 15.
