HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 14.
Select a preset program.
To select a preset
program, press
one of the Aerobic,
Performance, or
Endurance but-
tons. When an
Aerobic,
Performance, or Endurance button is pressed, the
indicator on the button will light. When a preset
program is selected, a profile of the first several
resistance settings 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.
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 flashing
Current Segment
column of the matrix. The resistance settings 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 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 seg-
ment will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column and the resistance of the pedals
will automatically change to the resistance setting
for the second segment.
The program will continue until no time remains in
the Time display.
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” indicators lights, decrease your pace. When
the center 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.
Monitor your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 14.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 6 on page 15.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 15.
