HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Press any button on the console or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 14.
Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the heart rate programs, press
the Heart Rate 1 or the Heart Rate 2 button on
the left side of the console.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after
you select a heart
rate program, the tar­
get heart rate setting
for the program will
flash in the lower right
display.
During heart rate program 1, the same target
heart rate setting will be programmed for all seg­
ments of the program. If you have selected heart
rate program 1, press the increase and decrease
buttons above the Heart Rate Program buttons to
enter the desired target heart rate setting (see
EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 20).
During heart rate program 2, different target
heart rate settings will be programmed for differ­
ent segments of the program. If you have select­
ed heart rate program 2, press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Program
buttons to enter the desired maximum target
heart rate setting for the program (see EXER­
CISE INTENSITY on page 20).
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during heart rate programs;
however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sen­
sor frequently for the programs to operate proper­
ly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sen­
sor, keep your hands on the metal contacts
for at least 30 seconds.
Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout,
stop exercising or select a different program
before the program ends.
Heart rate program 2 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile in the
display will show your progress. The flashing seg­
ment of the profile represents the current seg­
ment of the program. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the target heart rate setting for
the current segment. At the end of each segment
of the program, a series of tones will sound and
the next segment of the profile will begin to flash.
During both programs, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting for the current segment of the program. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the tar­
get heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals
will automatically increase or decrease to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set­
ting. Each time the resistance changes, the resis­
tance level will appear in the display for a few
seconds to alert you.
