Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press the Reset button or
begin pedaling.
Select the manual mode.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be selected.
If a Smart pro-
gram has been
selected, select
the manual mode by pressing the Program Select
button repeatedly until the upper right corner of
the display is blank.
Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of
the pedals.
As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the ped-
als by pressing the + and – buttons. There are
ten resistance levels; level 10 is the most chal-
lenging. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it
will take a few seconds for the selected setting to
be reached.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes
and the left pace indicator.
When the con-
sole is turned
on, the scan
mode will be
selected. As
you exercise,
the display will
show your cur-
rent speed, the
elapsed time, the distance that you have ped-
aled, the current resistance level, and the approx-
imate numbers of calories and fat calories you
have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 13).
The display will also show your heart rate when
you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional
chest pulse sensor. Mode indicators will appear
to show which feedback mode is currently shown.
Note: Each time the resistance level changes, the
console will show the resistance level for six sec-
onds. When a Smart program is selected, the dis-
play will show the time remaining in the program
instead of the elapsed time.
If desired, you can select a single feedback mode
for continuous display. Press the Display Mode
button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H),
Time, Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Fat Cals.
indicator appears in the display. Make sure that
the Scan indicator does not appear.
In addition, a
pace indicator
will appear in the
display to show
your exercise
pace. As you
increase or
decrease your
pace, the pace
indicator will increase or decrease in height.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at
the same time, the console may not display
your heart rate accurately.
If there are
thin sheets of
plastic on the
metal con-
tacts on the
handgrip
pulse sensor,
peel off the
plastic. To use
the handgrip pulse sensor, place your hands on
the metal contacts, with your palms on the near-
est contacts and your fingers touching the far-
thest contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When
your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator
in the display will flash each time your heart
beats. After a moment, two dashes (– –) will
appear and then your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note:
When you first hold the handgrips, the display will
show your heart rate continuously for 15 seconds.
The display will then show your heart rate along
with the other feedback modes.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-
sole will automatically turn off to conserve
the batteries.
