Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during a heart rate program;
however, you should hold the handgrip pulse
sensor frequently 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.
Press the Start button to start the program.
The first heart rate program is divided into 20
one-minute segments. One target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for each segment. Note: The
same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart
rate setting for the
first segment will
be shown in the
flashing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. The
target heart rate
settings for the next several segments will be
shown in the columns to the right.
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 heart
rate settings will move one column to the left.
The target heart rate setting for the second seg-
ment will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column.
The second heart rate program is divided into
40 one-minute segments. The same target heart
rate is programmed for all segments. Note: For a
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-
ent program before the program ends.
During both heart rate programs, the console
will regularly compare your heart rate to the tar-
get heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far
below or above the target heart rate setting, the
resistance of the pedals will automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting.
The Target Pace guide will prompt you to
increase or decrease your pedaling pace during
the program. When one of the “Too Slow” indica-
tors lights, increase your pace. When the one of
the “Too Fast” indicators lights, decrease your
pace. When the “On Pace” indicator lights, main-
tain your current pace.
Important: The target heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual heart rate may be slower than the tar-
get heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise
at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, with the 1 Step Resistance but-
tons. However, when the console compares your
heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
resistance of the pedals may automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting.
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 displays.
See step 4 on page 10.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 11.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
