HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM
Press the Resistance decrease button or
begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis-
play will light.
Select the heart rate control program.
Press the Programs button repeatedly until the
words HEART RATE CONTROL appear in the
display.
Enter a target heart rate.
The target heart rate
setting for the program
will flash in the dis-
play. Use the
Resistance increase
and decrease buttons
to change the target heart rate setting.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor continu-
ously; however, you
should hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor fre-
quently 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. When you are not holding the hand-
grip pulse sensor, the letters PLS will appear in
the display instead of your heart rate.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
During the program, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate.
You will also be prompted to pedal at a steady
pace so you can maintain your target heart rate.
When the words PEDAL FASTER appear in the
display, increase your pace. When the words
PEDAL SLOWER appear in the display, decrease
your pace. When the words PEDALING IN
RANGE appear, maintain your current pace.
Important: Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you. Note: If you manu-
ally override the resistance settings, you may not
maintain your target heart rate.
To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling.
The time will begin to flash in the display. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
Follow your progress with the display.
