The Calories dis-
play—If no calorie
goal was set, this
display will show the
approximate number
of calories you have
burned. If a calories
goal was set, the display will show the number of
calories still to be burned during your workout.
The Pulse
display—This dis-
play will show your
heart rate when you
use the handgrip
pulse sensor or the
chest pulse sensor
(see step 6 below).
Note: You can se-
lect any of three
backlight modes for
the displays. The
“On” mode keeps
the backlight on
while the console is
on. The “Off” mode turns the backlight off. The
“Auto” mode keeps the backlight on only while you
are exercising. To change the backlight mode, first
hold down the Start button for a few seconds. The
current backlight mode will appear in the Calories
display. Next, press the One-touch Resistance 1
button to change the backlight mode. Then, press
the Start button.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
To use the chest pulse sensor, see page 10. To
use the handgrip pulse sensor, follow the instruc-
tions below. Note: If you wear the chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at
the same time, the console will not display your
heart rate accurately.
If there are
sheets of clear
plastic on the
metal contacts
on the hand-
grip pulse sen-
sor, peel off
the plastic.
Place your
hands on the handgrip pulse sensor, with your
palms on the contacts. Avoid moving your
hands. When your pulse is detected, one or two
dashes will appear in the Pulse display and then
your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 30 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your
hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving
your hands excessively or squeezing the metal
contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, peri-
odically clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth;
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, a
series of tones will sound, the Time display will
begin to flash, and the console will pause.
If the pedals are not moved for a few minutes, the
console will turn off and the displays will be reset.
