HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 16.
2. Select a preset program.
To select a preset
program, press one
of the Aerobic,
Performance, or
Endurance buttons.
When an Aerobic,
Performance, or
Endurance button is pressed, the indicator on the
button will light. When a preset program is se-
lected, a profile of the first several resistance set-
tings of the program will appear in the matrix, the
program time will appear in the Time display, the
maximum resistance setting of the program will
flash in the Resistance display, and the maximum
speed setting of the program will flash in the Speed
display for a few seconds.
3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Each program is divided into either 20 or 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
pace setting are programmed for each segment.
Note: The same resistance setting and/or target
pace may be programmed for two or more consec-
utive segments.
When you start the
program, the resis-
tance setting for the
first segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column of
the matrix. The resistance settings for the next sev-
eral 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 se-
ries of tones will sound, and the time will flash in
the Time display. When the first segment ends,
all
resistance settings will move one column to the
left. The resistance setting for the second segment
will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column and the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically change to the resistance setting for the
second segment.
The program will continue until no time remains in
the Time display.
4. Use the pace guide to pace your exercise.
Throughout the program, the pace guide will
prompt you to increase or decrease your pedaling
pace. When one of the “Too Slow” indicators lights,
increase your pace; when one of the “Too Fast” in-
dicators lights, decrease your pace. When the cen-
ter indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The pace guide is intended only
to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will
sound and the program will pause. To restart the
program, simply resume pedaling.
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.
