HOW TO CREATE AND USE A CUSTOM
PROGRAM
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 16.
2. Select a custom program.
To select a custom
program, press one
of the three Custom
buttons. When a
Custom button is
pressed, the indica-
tor on the button will
light.
Note: If the custom program has not yet been
defined, see step 3 to create the program. If the
program is already defined, see step 4 to use
the program.
3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Refer to the matrix.
Each custom pro-
gram is divided into
40 one-minute seg-
ments. One resis-
tance setting and
one pace setting
can be programmed for each segment. The resis-
tance setting for the first segment will be shown in
the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix.
(The pace settings are not shown in the matrix.) To
program a resistance setting and a pace setting for
the first segment, simply adjust the resistance of
the pedals as desired by pressing the One-touch
Resistance buttons and pedal at the desired pace.
When the first segment of the program ends, a se-
ries of tones will sound and the current resistance
setting and the current pace setting will be saved in
memory.
The columns of indicators will then move
one column to the left, and the resistance setting
for the second segment will be shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment column. Program a resis-
tance setting and a pace setting for the second
segment as described above.
Continue programming resistance and pace set-
tings for as many segments as desired; custom
programs can have up to 40 segments.
4. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
The custom program will function in almost the
same way as a preset program (see steps 3 and 4
on page 19).
If desired, you can redefine the program while
using it. To change the resistance or pace set-
ting for the current segment, simply press the
One-touch Resistance buttons or change your ped-
aling pace. When the current segment ends, the
new setting will be saved in memory.
5. Monitor your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 16.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 6 on page 17.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 17.
