Turn on the console.
Refer to step 1 on page 10.
Select one of the eight Smart programs.
Each time the
console is turned
on, the manual
mode will be
selected. To
select a Smart
program, press
the Program but-
ton repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
or 8 appears in the upper right corner of the dis-
play.
The profiles on the right side of the console show
how the resistance of the pedals and the target
pace will change during the Smart programs.
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. If the current resis-
tance level is too high or too low, you can change
the resistance level by pressing the + and – but-
tons. However, when the current period of the
program is completed, the resistance level will
automatically change if a different resistance set-
ting is programmed for the next period.
The target pace
settings for the
program will be
shown by the
right pace indica-
tor in the display.
(The left indicator
will show your
actual exercise pace.) As the right indicator
changes in height during the program, simply
adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the
same height. If your pace is slower than the cur-
rent 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 tar-
get pace settings for the program are intended
only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may
be slower than the target pace settings, espe-
cially during the first few months of your exer-
cise 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.
Refer to step 4 on page 10.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 10.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
Refer to step 6 on page 10.
