The Calories dis-
play—If no calorie
goal was set, this
display will show
the approximate
number of calories
you have burned.
If a calories goal was set, the display will show the
number of calories still to be burned during your
workout.
The Pulse dis-
play—This display
will show your
heart rate when
you use the hand-
grip pulse sensor
or the chest pulse
sensor (see step 6 below).
Note: You can se-
lect any of three
backlight modes
for the displays.
The “On” mode
keeps the back-
light on while the
console is on. The “Off” mode turns the backlight
off. The “Auto” mode keeps the backlight on only
while you are exercising. To change the backlight
mode, first hold down the Start button for a few
seconds. The current backlight mode will appear in
the Calories display. Next, press the One-touch
Resistance 1 button to change the backlight mode.
Then, press the Start button.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
To use the chest pulse sensor, see page 10. To
use the handgrip pulse sensor, follow the instruc-
tions below. Note: If you wear the chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at
the same time, the console will not display
your heart rate accurately.
If there are
sheets of clear
plastic on the
metal contacts
on the hand-
grip pulse
sensor, peel
off the plastic.
Place your
hands on the handgrip pulse sensor, with your
palms on the contacts. Avoid moving your
hands. When your pulse is detected, one or two
dashes will appear in the Pulse display and then
your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 30 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your
hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving
your hands excessively or squeezing the metal
contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, peri-
odically clean the metal contacts using a soft
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-
cals.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, a
series of tones will sound, the Time display will
begin to flash, and the console will pause.
If the pedals are not moved for a few minutes, the
console will turn off and the displays will be reset.
