OPERATING THE COMPUTER
Introduction
Your bike is equipped with a programmable
Computer to help you track your progress and
motivate you to reach your fitness goals.
This Computer provides different programs
designed to tailor to your fitness goals. Simply
choose the program you like, set the time limit and
begin exercising.Your Computer will then show your
approximate pulse, approximate calories burned,
elapsed time, speed and distance traveled.
Functions and Features
QUICK START BUTTON: Allows you to start the
Computer without selecting a program. TIME
automatically begins to count up from zero.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust
the resistance.
TIME: Shows your elapsed workout time in minutes
and seconds. Your Computer will automatically
count up from 0:00 to 99:59 in one second
intervals.You may also program your Computer to
count down from a set value by using the UP
and DOWN buttons. If you continue exercising
once the time has reached 0:00, the Computer
will begin beeping, and reset itself to the original
time set, letting you know your workout is done.
SPEED: Displays your workout speed in miles
per hour.
DISTANCE: Displays the accumulative distance
traveled during each workout up to a maximum of
99.9 miles. The distance will be displayed in tenths
of a mile.
CALORIES (approximate): Your Computer will
estimate the cumulative calories burned at any
given time during your workout. Calorie expenditure
on your Computer is based on realistic
expectations; however, your Computer is
not individually programmable for all necessary
variables to accurately monitor actual calories
burned.
The Computer will count up in 0.1 increments.
After the display value reaches 999, it will reset
to “0” and begin counting from 0.1 again.
AGE: Your Computer is age-programmable from
10 to 99 years when you choose Program 11 or
Program 12.
Note: This unit is not recommended for children.
The age function is only adaptable to Program 11
or Program 12.
If you do not set an age, this function will always
default to age 25.
PULSE (approximate): Your Computer displays your
pulse rate in beats per minute during your workout.
Pulse sensors, located on the rear handlebar
enable the user to read his/her pulse rate. By
grasping the sensors and holding firmly, the display
will read your pulse rate in the display window.
Your pulse will continue to read as long as your
hands stay on the pulse sensors.
When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors
and display monitor provide a reasonably
accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This
estimate is not exact and persons with medical
conditions and/or a specific need for accurate
heart rate monitoring should not rely on the
estimations provided.
WARNING
The batteries must be installed as instructed
on page 10. Do not carry batteries loosely,
such as in a purse or pocket. The batteries
may explode or leak and cause injury if
installed improperly, misused, disposed
of in a fire or recharged.
WARNING
Do not plug AC Adapter into wall until
Computer is completely assembled.

USING THE PULSE FUNCTION ON THE REAR HANDLEBAR
The pulse window on your Computer works in conjunction with the pulse sensors found
on the rear handlebar. When you are ready to read your pulse:
1) Place both hands firmly on the pulse sensors.
For the most accurate reading, it is important
to use both hands.
2) Look at your pulse window. The small heart
will begin to blink.
3) Your estimated heart rate will appear in the
window approximately 6 seconds after you
grasp the pulse sensors.
4) Refer to the Target Heart Rate Zone Chart
found on page 22 of this manual. For additional
information about the importance of working
within certain heart rate ranges, see pages
20 and 21 – Measuring Your Heart Rate.
5) This estimate is not exact and persons with
medical conditions and/or a specific need
for accurate heart rate monitoring should
not rely on the estimations provided.

USING YOUR RECUMBENT BIKE
Your recumbent bike provides a completely smooth and natural feeling, that minimizes the impact on your
hips, knees and ankles while providing a superior aerobic and muscle toning workout. The durable steel
frame and transport wheels make the unit mobile and easy to use.
IMPORTANT:
This bike is not recommended for children.
Always make sure that you feel balanced and secure.
Always use your bike on a clean, solid and level surface.
DUAL SIDED PEDAL
The bike has a dual sided pedal. The
top pedal is to be used with shoes and
the bottom smooth side of the pedal is
meant to be used with a bare or sock
covered foot.
To use the bottom side of the pedal,
gently nest the balls of your feet into
the pedal contour. You may have to try
sliding your foot forward and backward
before you feel it nest into the pedal.
Once your foot is comfortably aligned
with the pedal contour, tighten the
strap so it is firmly around the foot.
