HOW TO USE RESISTANCE AND PACE
PROGRAMS
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the six resistance and pace
programs.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. To
select a resistance
and pace program,
press the Program
Select button repeatedly until “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,”
“P 4,” “P 5,” or “P 6” appears in the right display.
When a resistance and pace program is selected,
the matrix will show the first seven target pace
settings of the program. The left display will show
how long the program will last.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One target pace setting
and one resistance setting are programmed for
each segment. (The same target pace setting
and/or resistance setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.)
The target pace
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. (The
resistance settings are not shown in the matrix.)
The target pace settings for the next seven seg-
ments will be shown in the columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the target
pace setting for the current segment. The lit indi-
cators 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 indicator to
the left of any lit
indicator is flashing
(see drawing b),
decrease your
pace. When no
indicator is flash-
ing, your pace
matches the target pace setting. Important: The
target pace settings are intended only to pro-
vide motivation. Your actual pace may be
slower than the target pace settings. Make
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable
for you.
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 target pace set-
tings will move one column to the left. The target
pace 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 change to the resistance setting for the
second segment.
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment
column are lit after the target pace settings have
moved to the left, the target pace settings will
move downward so that only the highest indicators
appear in the matrix.
The program will continue until the target pace
setting 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 override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next
segment. If you stop pedaling for several sec-
onds, a tone will sound and the program will
pause. To restart the program, simply resume
pedaling.
