Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 10.
Select one of the four Smart programs.
Each time the
console is turned
on, the manual
mode will be
selected. To
select a Smart
program, press
the Program
Select button repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3,
or 4 appears in the upper right corner of the dis-
play.
The profiles in the center of the console show
how the resistance of the pedals and the target
pace will change during the Smart programs. For
example, profile number 3 shows that during
Smart program 3, the resistance will gradually
increase during the first half of the program, and
then gradually decrease; the target pace will alter-
nately increase and decrease.
Start the program.
To start the program, simply begin pedaling. Each
Smart program consists of either twenty or thirty,
one-minute periods. One resistance setting and
one pace setting are programmed for each peri-
od. (The same resistance setting and/or pace set-
ting may be programmed for consecutive peri-
ods.)
During the program, the resistance of the pedals
will automatically change as shown by the applic-
able profile on the console. Note: If the current
resistance level is too high or too low, you can
change the resistance level by pressing the +
and – buttons. However, when the current period
of the program is completed, the resistance level
will automatically change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next period.
The target pace settings for the program will be
shown by the right pace indicator in the display
(see the drawing at the upper right). The left pace
indicator will show your actual exercise pace. As
the right pace indicator changes in height, simply
adjust your pace so that both pace indicators are
at the same
height. If your
pace is slower
than the current
target pace, the
increase arrow
will appear in the
display to prompt
you to increase
your pace; if your
pace is faster than the target pace, the decrease
arrow will appear. Important: The target pace
settings for the program are intended only to
provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow-
er than the target pace settings, especially
during the first few months of your exercise
program. Make sure to exercise at a pace that
is comfortable for you.
During the program, the display will show the time
remaining in the program. If you continue exercis-
ing after the program is completed, the display
will continue to show your exercise feedback.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes.
See step 4 on page 10.

See step 5 on page 10.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 6 on page 10.
