HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the display will light.
2. Select a smart program.
To select one of
the ten smart pro-
grams, press the
Program button
repeatedly until
PROGRAM: 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
or 10 appears in
the display. The program time and a profile of the
resistance levels for the program will also appear
in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into either 20, 30, or 45
one-minute segments. One resistance level and
one target pace setting are programmed for each
segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or
target pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.
The program profile will show your progress (see
the drawing above). The flashing segment of the
profile represents the current segment of the pro-
gram. The height of the flashing segment indicates
the resistance level for the current segment.
When the first segment of the program ends, the
resistance level and the target pace for the second
segment will appear in the center of the display for
a few seconds to alert you. The next segment of
the profile will begin to flash, and the pedals will
automatically adjust to the resistance level for the
next segment.
As you exercise,
you will be prompt-
ed to keep your
pedaling pace near
the target pace set-
ting for the current
segment. When an
upward arrow appears in the display, increase
your pace. When a downward arrow appears,
decrease your pace. When no arrow appears,
maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target pace settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target pace set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the increase and decrease but-
tons. IMPORTANT: When the current segment
of the program ends, the pedals will automati-
cally adjust to the resistance level for the next
segment.
The program will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the program at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the pro-
gram, simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.

6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
