If you have
selected heart
rate program 2,
the letters “PLS”
and the current
target heart rate
setting will flash in
the left display. Press the + or – button repeated-
ly to change the target heart rate setting, if
desired. The target heart rate setting can be from
70 to 170 beats per minute.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must wear the
chest pulse sensor (see page 9) or use the hand-
grip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 14). If you
use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not neces-
sary to hold the handgrips continuously during
the program. However, you should hold the
handgrips frequently 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 hold-
ing 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.
Heart rate program 1 consists of 20 one-minute
segments. One resistance setting and one target
heart rate setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. (The same resistance setting and/or target
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.) During the pro-
gram, the resistance of the exercise cycle will
periodically change. Heart rate program 2 is 40
minutes long (you may choose to use only part of
the program). The same resistance setting and
target heart rate setting are programmed for the
entire program.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your heart rate near the target heart
rate setting for the current segment. The lit indi-
cators in the bar will show your actual pace.
Whilst you wear the chest pulse sensor or hold
the handgrip pulse
sensor, the con-
sole will periodical-
ly compare your
heart rate to the
target heart rate
setting; 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 target 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 indicator is flash-
ing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When
no indicator is flashing, your heart rate is near
the target heart rate setting. Important: The tar-
get heart rate settings are intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual heart rate
may be slower than the target heart rate set-
tings. 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: Heart rate programs cannot be stopped and
then restarted. If you stop pedaling for several
seconds, the program will end.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 4 on page 13.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
