L_Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you mustuse the
handgrippulsesensor (see step 5 on page 11) or
the optional chestpulse sensor.If you use the
handgrippulsesensor, itis not necessary to hold
the handgripscontinuouslyduringthe program.
However, you shouldhold the handgripsfre-
quentlyfor the programtooperate properly.Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for st least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are notholdingthe handgrips,
the letters "PLS"willappear in the rightdisplay
instead ofyour heart rate.
[]Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consistsof 20 one-
minute segments. One resistancesettingand
one heart rate settingare programmedfor each
segment. (The same resistancesettingand/or
heart rate settingmay be programmedfor two or
more consecutive segments.)
The resistance
settingfor the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix.The
resistancesettings
Current Segment t
for the nextseveral segmentswill be shownin the
columnsto the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment, both the Current Segment column and the
column to the right will flash, a series of tones will
sound, and aft resistance settingswill move one
column to the left. The resistance setting for the
second segment will then be shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment column and the resistance
of the exercise cycle will automatically adjustto
the resistance setting for the second segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
in the bar will show your actual pace. When you
hold the handgrip pulse sensor (or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor), the console will
periodically compare your heart rate to the heart
rate setting for the
currentsegment; if
necessary,an indi-
cator in the bar will
then flash to
promptyou to
increaseor
decrease your
pace to bringyour
heart rate closerto
the current heart TRAININGZONES
rate setting.If an
indicatorto the
right ofthe lit indicatorsisflashing(see drawing
a), increaseyour pace. If an indicatorto the/eft
of any lit indicatorisflashing(see drawingb),
decrease your pace. When no indicatorisflash-
ing,your heart rate is near the current heart rate
setting. Important: The heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual heart rate may be slower than the cur-
rent heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise
at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continueuntilthe resistance set-
tingfor the lastsegment is shownin the Current
Segment columnof the matrix and notime
remainsin the program.
Note: During the program, youcan manually over-
ride the resistancesettingfor the current seg-
ment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the
resistance setting for the next segment. If you
stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will
sound and the program will pause. To restart the
program, simply resume pedaling.
r_ Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 4 on page 10.
B Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 11.
[]When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 11.
