HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE & RPM PROGRAM
Press the Resistance decrease button or
begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after the console is turned on, the dis-
play will light.
Select one of the resistance & rpm programs.
Press the Programs
button repeatedly until
“P 3,” “P 4,” “P 5,”
“P 6,” “P 7,” “P 8,”
“P 9,” or “P10”
appears in the right
side of the display.
When a resistance & rpm program is selected, a
profile of the resistance settings of the program
will scroll across the center of the display. The left
side of the display will show how long the pro-
gram will last.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several one-minute
segments. One resistance setting and one pace
setting are programmed for each segment. Note:
The same resistance setting and/or pace setting
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.
The resistance setting
for the first segment
will be shown in the
flashing Current
Segment column in
the center of the dis-
play. (Note: The pace
settings are not shown in the display.) The resis-
tance settings for the next four segments will be
shown in the columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Pace Coach will help you to
keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for
the current segment. When one of the “Too Slow”
arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one
of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain
your current pace.
Important: The pace settings are intended
only to provide motivation. Your actual pace
may be slower than the 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 resistance set-
tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column,
and the resistance of the pedals will change to the
resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If
all of the indicators in the Current Segment column
are lit after the resistance settings have moved to
the left, the resistance settings may move down-
ward so only the highest indicators appear in the
matrix.
The program will continue until the resistance set-
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column and the last segment ends.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, by pressing the increase or decrease but-
ton. However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will change if a different resistance set-
ting is programmed for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 13.
Measure your heart rate if desired.

Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
