4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrips continu-
ously during the program. However, you should
hold the handgrips frequently for the program to
function properly. Each time you hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the
metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
5. Press the Start button to start the program.
The first heart rate program--This program is
divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target
heart rate setting is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same target heart rate setting
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.
The target heart rate
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column of
the matrix. The tar-
get heart rate set-

tings for the next several 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
series of tones will sound, and all target heart rate
settings will move one column to the left. The tar-
get heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.
The second heart rate program--This program
is divided into 40 one-minute segments. The same
target heart rate is programmed for all segments.
Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or
select a different program before the program
ends.
Both heart rate programs--As you pedal, the
console will regularly compare your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting for the current seg-
.
ment. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically increase or decrease to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate
setting.
The Target Pace guide will prompt you to increase
or decrease your pedaling pace during the pro-
gram. When one of the "Too Slow" indicators
lights, increase your pace; when one of the "Too
Fast" indicators lights, decrease your pace; when
the "On Pace" indicator lights, maintain your cur-
rent pace.
IMPORTANT: The target heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al heart rate may be slower than the target
heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current segment,
if desired, with the 1 Step Resistance buttons.
However, when the console compares your heart
rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance
of the pedals may automatically increase or
decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the tar-
get heart rate setting.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling.
Follow your progress with the matrix, the
Training Zones bar, and the displays.
