Using the Heart Rate Control Program
When you access the Heart Rate Control Program, the following occurs:
The cycle automatically adjusts the resistance to keep your
heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the RESISTANCE
arrow keys no longer affects the resistance, but does change the
target heart rate. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are
maintaining your preferred zone (weight loss or cardiovascular).
Your actual heart rate appears in the display when the HEART
RATE LED is lit.
Important: Maintain a constant pedaling speed. Automatic
adjustments to the resistance cannot take place if you drop
below 20 revolutions per minute (RPM).
You can change the target heart rate, but doing so affects the
unit’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the preferred
zone. It takes time for the cycle to readjust the resistance so that
your heart rate remains on target.
When you complete the program, remember to add a cool-down
period.
Note: If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, talk
to your club representative.
