HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
1. Press any button on the console or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will
light. A tone will then sound and the console will
be ready for use.
2. Select a preset program.
To select one of the three weight loss programs,
press the Wt. Loss Programs button repeatedly; to
select one of the three aerobic fitness programs,
press the Aerobic Programs button repeatedly.
When you select a preset program, the name of
the program will appear in the display for a few
seconds. A profile of the resistance settings of the
program will then appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into either 20 or 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
target speed setting are programmed for each
segment. Note: The same resistance setting
and/or target speed setting may be programmed
for consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing column of the profile represents the current
segment of the program. The height of the flashing
column indicates the resistance setting for the cur-
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the
program, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-
ent resistance setting is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance setting will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise, you
will be prompted to
keep your pedaling
speed near the target
speed setting for the
current segment. When
an upward-pointing arrow appears in the display,
increase your speed. When a downward-pointing
arrow appears, decrease your speed. When no
arrow appears, maintain your current speed.
IMPORTANT: The target speed settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Make sure
to pedal at a speed that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance setting for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the current segment ends, the
resistance of the pedals will automatically adjust to
the resistance setting for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The
program will continue until the last segment of the
profile ends.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
During the program, the display will show the pro-
gram profile, your pedaling speed, and the dis-
tance that you have pedaled.
To view the time remaining in the program instead
of the program profile, press the Display button.
To view the approximate number of calories that
you are burning per hour and the approximate
number of calories that you have burned during
your workout, press the Display button again.
To view the program profile again, press the
Display button again.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 16.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 16.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
