USING YOUR RACE PROGRAM
Your Race Program is designed to add motivation to a workout by allowing you to compete against a
selected pacer. To use your Race Program, follow these instructions:
1. Choose the Race program by either pressing the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buttons. Press ‘Enter’.
2. Choose the desired Pace (average speed) using the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buttons. There are a total of
16 Pace levels to choose from, ranging from 15mph to 30mph in increments of 1mph, with 15mph
being the lowest and 30mph being the highest. Once the desired Pace is selected, press ‘Enter’.
3. Choose the desired Distance by pressing the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buttons. Press ‘Enter’.
4. Choose your weight by pressing the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buttons. Press ‘Enter’.
5. Press ‘Start’ and begin your Race Program.
The time of the program will default accordingly to the pace (average speed) and distance that you
entered. After the Race Program has started, press the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buttons or the quick resistance
keys to adjust your resistance (levels 1-20). Your goal in this program is to beat the pacer to the fin-
ish line by covering an equal distance at a faster pace.
The top row of bars shows the computer pacer position. The bottom row of bars indicates your posi-
tion. If you trail the pacer, you should pedal at a faster speed to catch and pass the pacer.
If you beat the pacer to the finish line, the screen will flash “Time Over” and the program will end.
Note: If you beat the pacer to the finish line, you will complete the program before the projected fin-
ish time. If the pacer beats you to the finish line, the entire program time will elapse.
FEEDBACK
Your Horizon Fitness upright bike offers two heart rate feedback options. You may choose to use the
heart rate handlebars, or the chest transmitter for a hands free workout. (B30 model only)
HEART RATE HANDLEBAR
Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars
for your heart rate to register. When griping the handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips
tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the
heart rate handlebars. It is recommended that you hold the handlebars only long enough to see your
heart rate readout on the console. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the
handlebars.
TELEMETRIC CHEST TRANSMITTER
Prior to wearing the chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water.
Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the
Horizon Fitness logo facing out. Note: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive
an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may
receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout. (B30 model only)
If you have any problems with the heart rate function please refer to (pages 28 & 29) in the trou-
bleshooting section.
WARNING!
The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of your heart
rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid.
