DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative
console offers a
manual mode and
three pacer pro-
grams. The pacer
programs are
designed to help
you reach specific
exercise goals by
pacing your exer-
cise. You can
choose from a sta-
mina-building
Interval program,
an Aerobic pro-
gram, and a spe-
cial Fat Burn pro-
gram. As you
exercise, seven
monitor modes will
provide continuous exercise feedback. The monitor
modes are described below:
Speed—This mode shows your exercising pace,
in kilometers or miles per hour (see HOW TO
SELECT KILOMETERS OR MILES on page 13).
Time—If you select the manual mode, this mode
will show the elapsed time. If you select one of
the three pacer programs, this mode will count
down the time remaining in the program.
Distance—This mode shows the distance you
have strided, in kilometers or miles.
Lap—This mode shows the number of laps you
have completed. One lap equals 0.25 kilometers
or miles.
Calorie—This mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Scan—This mode displays the above five
modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
Pulse—This mode shows your heart rate when
the pulse sensor is used. (See step 5 on
page 12.)
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program,
two columns of
bars will appear in
the display. The
left column repre-
sents a target
pace, and the right
column shows
your actual exercising pace. The target pace will
change periodically during the program; as the target
pace changes, simply adjust your exercising pace to
keep both columns at the same height. Important: The
target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be
slower than the target pace, especially during the
first few months of your exercise program. Be sure
to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The three graphs
on the console
show how the tar-
get pace will
change during the
programs. During
the Aerobic
program (P2), for example, the target pace will gradu-
ally increase during the first half of the program, and
gradually decrease during the last half of the program.
Each program will last twenty minutes.
